Not ready for this.
Not at all.
Not ready for this.
Not willing to fall.
A friend of mine told me that all we do now is talk and think about the babies without any regard for other people and what is going on in their lives. It felt a bit harsh, but there was some truth to that. There are times when it takes all of my energy to switch it off in my brain. I can't help it. During this time, before they are born, it is such an odd time to be obsessing about the little things. There is so much change that is coming, so much poop, so much money to be spent.
I stress a lot about not having enough money or time to put into this thing called fatherhood.
I'm just not ready.
It won't be the horror story some make you think it will be. It will be like anything else where you just have to change your lifestyle to a decent degree.
ReplyDeleteKids are pretty cheap when they are small once you have made those initial investments like strollers and cribs. The diapers are a big issue -- cost vs convenience, cloth vs disposable. We used both.
The toughest thing sometimes, I think, is getting used to your wife having to spend so much time and energy on the babies.
