New parent. Worried that I don't feel.. anything?

I became a parent as of 10 days ago. My wife and I wanted to have a kid, and I was excited to take a step into a new era of my life. I was excited to watch my child grown and develop, and to teach them the ways of the world and enjoy all of that together with my wife.Now that our baby girl is born, though, I just feel.. nothing for them. There's no parental bond there at all. I feel like I'm just going through the motions of doing what I expect I should be doing. Talking to them, playing with them, making sure they're fed and changed. But my wife asked me if I loved our baby girl and I couldn't say yes. There's nothing in a baby this young that I can see being lovable. They're essentially just a being incapable of taking care of themselves that happens to live in our house. They lack any measure of personality - they just exist. Is this something other people have experienced? Am I just missing out on some part of the evolutionary/biological puzzle that would jump this gap for me? I assume it improves with time as our baby girl gets older and develops into a regular human being, but my wife clearly has this connection and I don't... I worry what that means for the future. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3bZSLRw
