Before I became a father I had totally different priorities in my life, but at that point everything changed. I needed to find a balance in my life...

After my first year with my daughter I've gotten really good at coding with one hand... And I've come to love my front baby carrier! I even have a disconnected keyboard in front of my laptop that my daughter likes mashing on while I'm coding!
As a father of a beautiful 2 years old baby I enjoyed reading your post and I agree on pretty much everything you said.
I’ll add this: my goal for 2019 is to find a fully remote job to be able to spend even more time with my family, especially as we’d love to have a second child.
Nothing is more important to me than my family and being able to be there for them, as well as provinding a good income, is my primary goal.
Love the post.
During the first year of my son, I could experience two different working routines: Remote job and office job.
I defenitely prefer the second one for one simple reason: I found really helpful to have different state of mind in different places.
While I was doing remote job, I was not able to forget the work while taking care of my child. And it was really frustrating to being unable to code because he was crying and required my attention.
Now, out of the office my mind is no longer thinking about work, so I am focused on childcare.
The drawback (there is no magical solution): Due to the strict partition of the tasks, I have a very tight time schedule. You need a work where they understand your situation and accept that you will do the minimum extra hours required* and you have to master transport ETA :)
*footnote advice: If your employer does not understand you have life after work, I recommend you to change your employer.
Of course I don't have a child yet, but married already... So after marrying I've understood that need to change my everyday life... Now I'm going to that balance.
Thank you for awesome post. Like this
