AIO for being upset nobody asked how I was doing at my son's christening

me (31M), first kid, four months old, i'm on leave. about sixty people. every single one asked my wife how she's doing. genuinely warm, genuinely concerned, several of them at length. i got "how's dad holding up" twice, both times as a joke, both times with a laugh at the end, and one guy asked if i was "allowed out." the honest answer is i've been up at 3am for four months, i've had two panic things i haven't told anyone about, and i'm on leave partly because my wife went back early and i'm doing days alone with him. i'm not competing with her. she carried and delivered a baby and she deserves every single one of those conversations. i just noticed i had sixty conversations and none of them were about me, and then i felt like a monster for noticing.
