How will I ever be a good father?
My buddy just found out that he and his fiancee are going to have a baby and he posted this question. I have two daughters, aged 3 and 4, and had this to offer:
1. Remember that you are not the first father, not the worst father and that if some people can do it, assuredly you can, too.
2. None of us were given an instruction manual - your heart will take you from step 1 through to completion.
3. You WILL say and do things that you will regret when you lose your patience. Take a step back and breathe. Your child will forgive you and you need to forgive you, too.
What would you add?
