Any Parents Here?
How do you guys deal with parenting? My wife had work events all weekend last week so I had to be on point 100% and then continue to all week. Now this weekend we had a girl scout hike and my wife wanted to go to a special event with me in the evening. I haven't had time for any real solitude for two weeks and am mentally/emotionally drained.
How do you guys deal with this? I feel like a bad parent/partner for not being excited for these things or feelings negative about doing them. Am I expecting too much from myself? I don't know, thanks for reading anyway.

When I had kids, autism was still for boys. I think I'm in a minority though because I wanted kids a lot. So I see them as independent extensions of myself. I didn't get the socialization issues with them, and would make a point to bring at least one kid when they got older as my support person. They didn't know this though.
It was actually easier for me to be around other people when they were young because they gave me something to talk about.
