Did you give yourself some rules too? If so what kind?

[PapaBär]

hey, I am in a somewhat new LDR CG/L relationship and I am asking for some small advice.

I really just wanted some general advice and tips so I can be a better daddy and wondered what you did to improve yourself. Like..I gave myself some rules as soon as my little got her first set. Mainly just reminders to keep working on myself, continue weight loss and hit the gym, stop smoking and because I have to deal with a lot of self doubt I put up a big reminder to "chill the f out" and also what not to do when she's in her little space.

Did you also do that? If so, what rules did you give yourself?

I came across a set of rules for caregivers and one that I really liked was, "Mommy/Daddy must not give a punishment out of anger. Be willing to explain calmly or take a break if needed before handling a situation." Something like that. I think the goals you have to improve yourself is great and will help your little a lot!

One of my favourite rules is "Punishments should only be given when the cause was malicious and/or deliberate. Accidents happen to everyone,"

I'm a middle and a few "conversations" back I started to give myself "relationship rules" too. Not many, and they're pretty general, but the intention is to make sure that I do my part and contribute as well. It's easy as a "needy princess" to expect a lot of your daddy but not always for yourself. The rules help you make sure you're giving as well.

My rules would often be some of the same of my littles like not swearing when they're in Little space.
