Men Share Things They Wish People Knew About Fatherhood

3.

“First-time dad of the most perfect 10-month-old girl. This isn’t so much of a thing to know as it is a statement; gents, if you want to be a father, you better be prepared to step up and accept something; the baby comes first over drinks at the bar with pals, over nice long gym sessions after work, over going to sports games on the weekend, or all-night gaming sessions.”

“I’m sick of seeing ‘men’ get all excited about fulfilling their reptilian brain cell urges to procreate, and then failing to accept that their lifestyle must change afterward. Also, if you want to glorify that ‘trad life’ nonsense, then you better have a seriously, seriously substantial income to back it up. Otherwise, get ready to become as equally well-versed in nappy changing, sleep scheduling, bottle preparation, and early childhood developmental science as your partner. There are many more things I could say and probs will, but this sticks out to me.”
