Re: First Time Fatherhood
Patience is the number one skill I had to work on. My children are 6 and 3; boy/girl.
At first when my son was born it turned my life upside down then I got in a groove and my daughter came along; I was still in the groove.
Now seeing my son at 6 I am done with diapers car seats and just baby things in general. I am ready for the next stage and my daughter is almost there.
Children will test your marriage; it is probably the ultimate marriage test. Right now I don't think of my wife as my wife just the person who is partnered with me in the business of raising kids.
Put all that aside and there are just moments that make it all worth it. My son this weekend had two awesome games that he played very well in (Hockey/ Baseball) and my daughter today when I was leaving here at day care told me she loves me very much. Moments like that will drive you when it all seems impossible.
Congrats Skinsguy!
