It's not much better for new fathers. You have your own challenges. You believe you’re doing enough, but she doesn’t see it that way no matter how many diapers you change or books you read. If you’re like many in America, you have no paternity leave; a few days of PTO at most and you’re back to work. You wonder if you’re ready after all, and the weight of it all leaves you doubtful.
You are a new mother. You are told, paradoxically, that you should devote yourself fully to your new baby (or you’re a bad mom) while simultaneously tending to your home, your partner, and of course, your job (or you’re a failure). Meanwhile your body has changed dramatically, you’re fighting with your partner over who does what for the baby, you’re tired as hell, and, though you love your baby, parenthood so far seems like a raw deal.

Some on our staff are parents, and we know: raising kids in America today is a hell usually endured alone. We’re told to do it all and given little support, if any. Our work with new parents is frank about these circumstances, and is informed by our own hard-won experience.
From that experience, we’ve derived tools and perspectives to help you navigate PPD, the conflicts that arise between new parents, the mixed-emotions about parenting which always emerge, how to handle in-laws and others—and the list goes on. The end result is that we can honestly assure you it gets better.
