Ikr!!

holisticmaya while Jason's experience maybe common....a lot of parents do feel that instant connection. it is oxytocin and it is the same feeling as when you re love...even more intense

Carmen S I honestly feel like dads can have post-partum depression too.

Carmen S True, but there's nothing wrong with being honest and talking about the opposite. It took a lot of courage for Jason to admit to that. Not many people talk about this issue.

Yeah but he said he didn't even love her for the first few months? I understand that there's a lack of connection but LOVE, you should definitely love your baby instantly. I mean first week or so maybe (to catch a bond) but I personally don't think it should take months to love your own child. I can't imagine not loving my child instantly, as soon as it's born it will become my world. Couldn't imagine not loving him/her for months. Like I said lack of connection maybe, but not love, that should be instant.

Georgia xo I think the best thing to do here is not to judge. Their lives are on the internet but no one knows exactly what anyone else is feeling. Yes, let's not judge and stop at that. You can only imagine what you might feel when you have a child. No one can predict the future.

Czech Girl Sabi she is very lucky she has a brilliant mum and dad like yourself my dad didn't love me never showed it or said it we were always an annoyance or getting in the way , he dies two years ago and after l was upset not cause he died but because of what l should have gotten and knowing that would never happen if you know what lm mean he wasn't a good or very nice person and he had apt of flaws and problems but never did anything to sort em out your better of leaving him too it and getting on with your won life, and remember it them who has the problems not you xx

Czech Girl Sabi not all men. it's different for everyone. my husband immediately bonded with our daughter. he cried when she was born

Carmen S Sorry, correct would be "some men" :)

It's not just only men. I couldn't bond with my son when he was born, he had to be taken away from me and put in the NICU due to health complications. I was discharged whilst he had to stay. I had to come back to the hospital every 4 hours day and night to feed him and have some contact with him. I felt no connection at all. The nurses were looking after him, I was just the milk supplier. I was tired and emotional and worn out and everyone just kept telling me how happy I must be. I wasn't. And that was the scariest feeling in the world. I was responsible for this child I didn't love and I was too ashamed to admit it to anyone. When he finally came home, he was a difficult baby, he suffered jaundice and colic and I would just be pacing the hallway night after night while he screamed in my ear. My husband bonded with him instantly, he would stop crying when my husband held him, his first smiles were reserved for his dad alone, again I just felt like the leaky, miserable old cow that was barely keeping him alive. I was resentful, angry and depressed. This wasn't how my wonderful pregnancy was supposed to end. Thankfully, it did turn around at about 10 weeks, the whoosh of love finally came, I got treatment for PND after breaking down in the doctor's office and we came out happily at the other end. Don't be mistaken in thinking bonding troubles is only for the dads. Mums suffer it too.

Libra Fleur this happened to me too. my son was in ICU n I felt as though the nurses were his mom an do just birth him. and I think in a month my heart warmed up. he's my heart now. he resembles me and he has my personality. he's so stubborn but I don't get mad. I'm working with him

The newborn stage is an ungrateful time, for both parents. As a woman I had a very hard time, too. I felt like all the attention was on the newborn and that I wasn't worthy and good enough to have born such a beautiful little human. You are supposed to feel a unique bond, truth is baby does not recognize ANYONE when just born and anyone is able to calm it down... It was strange. It quickly went, though. As soon as they have a personality and the ability to reciprocate love, it becomes simply the most magical and joyful (yet tiring) gift life every made you! Congratulations on your baby.

What an honest raw video well done daddy Jason xXx

Georgia xo someone might NEVER feel love towards their own child. Somehow I understand why.

Elli VIXXette Never??? Really . That's disgusting to be honest if anyone is like that.

Georgia xo Not in my opinion

Elli VIXXette How can u justify NEVER loving your own child? Must be a vile heartless person in my opinion. The person who you're supposed to love more than anyone on the planet.

Georgia xo Probably SUPPOSED to, but that's not always the case.
