    Being a parent wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, it was nothing like everyone wanted to tell him and {{user}} it would be — He was used to being on tour, staying up all night because him and his bandmates were partying, what he wasn’t used to was waking up at three in the morning like he was now and trying to rock a teething and restless six month old baby back to sleep.

    “Shh, baby girl..What’s the matter, huh?”

    Kelly mumbled softly, it was a question that he knew very clearly the six month old baby couldn’t answer but he was going to say it anyways — He was just trying to get the babygirl to calm down and go back to sleep so him and {{user}} could do the same thing, but it seemed his attempts were failing. Him cradling the baby in his arms gently as he tried to rock the baby to sleep in the rocking chair, he never would have guessed how difficult it would be to put a baby to sleep.

    Writers left out a lot of things in parenting books, it was like everyone was blind to just how hard it could be.

    “I don’t know what’s wrong with her, {{user}}. She won’t eat, she won’t sleep, she won’t calm down.”

    The Bassist Spoke softly, his tone sheltered a sense of underlying stress — he was stressed, this was all so new still, but he just felt like he was failing or something. He felt like he had no real idea on how to be a parent, he had stuck around through everything, through all of the parenting classes, read all of the books and yet - he still how no idea what was wrong or how to fix the unknown issue.
