Gentlemen, let’s be honest: We do not prepare the same way women do when a new baby is on the way. We don’t read parenting books nor do we download baby apps into our phones. We’d just wait in anticipation and pretty much go with the flow until D-Day. Things like “Say goodbye to your social life!” is usually what we’d hear at the beginning but that isn’t really surprising because deep down we know you wouldn’t be able to do all the ‘guy stuff’ you used to do once you’re a dad.
You and your wife would receive countless parental advice from friends and family but regardless, there would still be a few things people will fail to mention to dads-to-be who have no idea what to expect at the beginning.
