Let me comfort you. It doesn't change as they get older. When you become a parent, your first and last thought is for your child. Also every thought in-between. Everything you write is for them or for you to be a better human being for them. And when you are alone, yes, you will stare out some window or open space and try to remember who you are through the exhaustion and not knowing and wanting so desperately to know. You will seek silence and ease, but your mind leads you back to searching for solutions. But you will mostly feel the incredibile love. And you will do it with awe. So take a breath and put on your reruns of Frasier. My go-to is Friends. Know that you are in the right place. The most incredible place. You are a dad. Welcome to parenting. The world needs you as much as your child. You are not alone. Love to your beautiful family. ❤️

There are many movies and TV shows I missed from the mid/late 90s because that's when my kids were babies. I've actually been trying to go back and watch some of them now. The next cycle is when the baby is older and you watch all their stuff! That's how I saw the great flicks, "The Iron Giant" and "Monster House."
