01

The four-month wall

Sleep regression, partner stress, work re-entry. Why the second three months are harder than the first three.

6 min 02

Becoming a couple again

When the romantic relationship returns, often awkwardly. The conversations to have before resentment sets in.

6 min 03

The mate question

Friendships at six months in. Who's still there, who quietly drifted, how to pull a few back without making it weird.

5 min 04

The body of a new dad

Fitness, sleep debt, weight. The realistic version of "looking after yourself" when sleep is the constraint.

6 min 05

Father-as-money-manager

Childcare costs, the new budget, super contributions while one income carries more weight.

6 min 06

The first birthday

What twelve months has done to all of you. Marking the year without performing it.
