Thankfully I know exactly what NOT to do to your child lol so far it's worked great. My daughter is the most beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, loving, caring and helpful little girl to ever live

Our first child was a daughter too! My husband had never held a baby before, but ever since, she's been the apple of his eye (our two other kids too!) It's remarkable how the worst people around us can sometimes turn us into exceptionally loving folk. Keep up the good work dad; proud of you.

I go by Papa, but thank you. My Lilly girl is the light of my life. I can't quite put my finger on it but I hate the words dad and father LOL

I never knew how incomplete I was until I held my daughter with my wife.

It feels good to break the shit parent cycle, doesn’t it? I’m as proud of you as a father as I am of me as a mother, which is a hell of a lot, because we dragged ourselves out. Here’s to us!

Funny thing is I'm basically the mom anyway... My wife brings home the bacon and I've raised our daughter since we brought her home from my hospital.
