FOMO als vader: missing out

Je vrienden zijn uit, jij doet bedtime routine. Hoe ga je hiermee om


Papa FOMO: de struggle is real


Friday night. Vrienden appen: "Borrel?"


Jij: "Nee, bedtime routine."


FOMO hits hard.


What you're missing


  • Spontane borrels
  • Late night hangs
  • Weekend trips
  • Festival season
  • "Zullen we eten vanavond?"

    • What you're gaining


  • First steps
  • First words
  • Bedtime cuddles
  • "Papa!" als je thuiskomt
  • Being there

    • Trade-off acceptance


    You can't have both. Not right now.


    Later? Sure. But not in baby/toddler years.


    Wat helpt


    1. Scheduled fun

    Plan shit in advance. One night/month out.


    2. Dad friends

    Hang met andere vaders. They get it.


    3. Redefine fun

    Playgrounds zijn actually fun.


    4. Perspective

    This phase is temporary. Enjoy it.


    Voor single vriend die niet snapt


    "Dude we zien je nooit meer"


    Response: "Ik heb priorities. You'll understand when it's your turn."


    Truth


    Yeah, you miss out. On some things.


    But you gain more than you lose.
