We're currently looking to start a family, so I thought I'd hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time.

Dad's of Lemmy could you share some good advice for someone just starting a family please :D

Enjoy it, even the hard parts. They go by fast and you will say one , looking back at a picture of your child as a baby when they are in High School, "I miss that baby."

Bathtime is a great time as well - lots of laughs, fun, and (I'm guessing) with a daughter something that will go away sooner rather than later (i.e., your not going to get your hair done like your wife would). But, I have two sons so who knows - balls, farts, and the like have continued well into teens to the chagrin of my wife. :)
