Woah. As an adult man with five kids, two of them infants, the most natural thing in the world is for them to be present in almost every second of my life.

It’s not difficult at all. Minutes after birth, naked baby was on my naked chest, and bonding started. This never felt contrary to my instinct.

Ok, you may consider it easy after 5, and kudos to you, but kids are definitely not “not difficult.”

I agree that it’s the most natural thing, and I consider most of my time spent elsewhere to be a waste, but our youngest is very active and worrying about her wellbeing for extended periods is definitely exhausting!

I was unclear. I meant it's not difficult to feel nurturing towards them and form a bond. That's what I thought the OP meant about being difficult.

That’s not what I meant.
