There are some days I feel like this kid loves me, but other days I feel like a huge failure and that he can’t stand being around me. I have trouble keeping calm but he has colic and reflux so he will just scream and arch and scream and cry and I feel like I’m a piece of shit as I’m getting pissed that he won’t stop screaming and that I can’t do anything to help him.I get so mad and frustrated that I have to tell my wife to switch because I have to take a time out.What breaks my heart even more is that I will feed him and try to burp him in any way possible and he’s inconsolable but the moment I hand him to my wife, he stops. I’ve been arguing with her when she gets mad at me for getting angry or frustrated.It breaks me down so much that I can’t help my son from being in pain / discomfort / crying and I know it’s normal but I just can’t handle not knowing what to do or feeling like I’m horrible at being a dad.He’s happy maybe 5% of time, and I don’t feel like it’ll ever get any easier and I don’t know what to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3cZauKo
