I would not suggest trying to change your job or start a business when you first become a father. The first few months or so it's easy to leave everything to the mother, as the baby is basically just feeding and sleeping and pooping. It seems that you don't need to do much, so can take life easy and take on new projects. Wrong. This is when you need to do the most. if you have family living nearby who can look after the child that will help a lot. If you don't, then sorry, you just need to accept that the next few years are going to be very demanding for you. If it's an option to relocate to be closer, I would highly suggest you take it. |

If you are financially somewhat comfortable (I assume most people in tech are so, more or less), it's better to go independent.
The first few months you will be so busy and stressed out not only from the baby but from the wife too, specially given the possibility that OP is not on good terms with the mother of the child (not even sure if "wife").
Imagine being bossed around not only by your boss at your job that you are apathetic towards, but also by your wife, and obviously by the baby?
Resentment will grow.
Better be in control of at least one thing: your career.
