01. Evolving Daddy


For men SEX is always FUN, right? Wrong. The time you take the decision to take your relationship one step ahead, sex is not about having fun, it is about having…BABIES. There will be changes in your life- good and bad. No more do you need to remember the special dates, like the first time you had strawberry ice-cream together, to have good sex. Instead now you have to remember the right day in her monthly cycle. No more will your sex performance be rated by your ability to make her have orgasm, but by your ability to get those blue lines on the pregnancy test. 


And once you are successful in your objective, it will be all about the mother. You, the poor daddy, will hardly be noticed the next nine months by people other than your now unpredictable wife, whose mood swings will keep confusing you. Your inability to do anything but helplessly watch the pain of the one you love, during the labor, will make you feel miserable. And then when all that is over, will come the time of sleepless nights and nappy changes. Welcome to the world of fatherhood, and believe me, life can’t get better.

'Evolving Daddy' is about the evolution of a father, it is about the things I learn from my kid. It is about those nine months and beyond. I am not a doctor, so do not expect any technical advice. It is about what I am learning from our experience through parenthood.

We have been through those nine months and it has been the best nine months in our life so far. It has not only been only about her, but about us. We have been together through these nine months and will be together through the rest of our life. Fathers do have active role to play even while mamma is pregnant. Do not shy away, because these moments won’t come back. There is more to men then just sex and booze.

  10. Welcome to the club son. The most amazing period of your life is about to begin...till the child is about 4 years old. But I can already see you being wrapped around little fingers....twenty nine years later, I still have to unwrap myself:) As I said, welcome to the club....great start to the developing story.

  11. Look forward to reading more. It is an experience. My husband's life really changed after our kiddo's were born! He went from doing whatever he wanted to watching 4 young boys {our 2 and my sister's 2}. BUSY in a good way. Most days that is. ;)

  12. It takes a lot of responsibility to become a loving hubby and a caring daddy. So, as u said, every man should not shy away from his responsibilities. Nice post and I liked it very much. I believe. every 'would be dad' will like this post.

  29. Sub! first, Congrats. Second, I think it's a lovely thought to record all the difference a child can make in your life, to record all the changes and "evolution" you'll be going through. Good luck with parenting. :)
