Randy from New York City writes that he’s jealous of his new baby, because his wife doesn’t have time for him anymore.
Randy, don’t worry. This problem happens to all new fathers, and it takes a bit of time for the whole family to get adjusted to a new baby. The next time your wife says that she doesn’t have time for you because of the baby, don’t get angry at her. Try to keep your defenses lowered. Listen to the reason, and if you can help her out with something, do it!
