I'm oscillating between overwhelming joy and crushing anxiety. I'm not sure what type of world I'll be bringing this child into, but I'm still deeply excited.

Does anyone have resources on parenting books by communists? I'm anxious and I want to feel like I'm doing something, but I don't want a parenting book written by some consultant fuck, if I can avoid it.

    Oh, damn, yeah, I didn't even really consider the logistics yet. I'll keep that in mind. Luckily, I already handle the lion's share of domestic labor, so I'm hopeful my wife will be able to rest and take care of herself. I'm more worried about her mental health, but that may be unfounded.

      Oh! Start buying diapers right now (or if you can handle the mess, reusable cloth diapers). My wife and I asked for diapers at our baby shower and would buy a pack + wipes, every other grocery trip. Also stock up on desitin, we had a lot of raw booties.
