That’s what I wanted to say as well. Not only national video calls but also regularly calling across the globe in video group calls, no problem whatsoever.

It wasn’t easy to establish back in the day, but since Skype is no alternative anymore, it should be a very good argument in favor of signal.

Only downside I had today: can’t have the same account on two Android devices. Desktop (Linux in my case) no problem to Link to my signal app on my android phone, but I was not able to use it on my android tablet today. Or was it just me, and there is a way?

This detail makes all the difference. At least one of you guys will have the energy, and you’ll just have to manage your lives very transparently. Rather then expecting things, say them out loud to each other, communication will make a big deal.

You’ll be fine, as long as you manage your expectations of the life you will have together clearly.

And although it might seem problematic to your son, just quote " life uuuugh finds a way" and he’ll accept you for the dinosaur you think you are. You’re both grown ups and don’t need each other’s opinions on life, but should treat each other with respect.

Yeah probably as always only a matter of perspective. Don’t listen to other men, just do what feels right for yourself.

I took a solid 9 months paternity leave with my son, and I think we just built the best base for a father son relationship I could ever imagine or hope to have. I know they don’t seem like it as a baby, but you are building your foundation already.

This was 3 years ago and I still feel the outcome of it every day.

Go for it , be yourself, don’t listen to others.

I really like Elon musk as an example for this. When you have won the capitalism game and can’t get more anymore, and you still look unhappy and seem totally unbalanced.
