It has changed me a lot, I used to only care about what was best for me but after my first son arrived I started basing life decisions on what would best bennifit him and later his brother. They are the main factor in deciding where I live now and my job as well.

Congratulations! Becoming a father for the first time is the most significant change possible to your life, if you want it to be! Since bringing up our children is the most important job we do, you can choose to abdicate this responsibility, try to do it to the best of your ability or in some very sad cases, be forced out of it by implacably hostile mothers. I amd delighted that after 12 years of fighting, my son moved to live with me in May and we have not looked back! So i don't go out as much or see my friends as much, but I have the msot wonderful son and he needs me now to make up for all the lost time when his mother refused to allow me more than alternate weekends with him. Enjoy it and revalue your life through your child's eyes. It's worth it!

That's what they say... Becoming a parent or a father will really change your life forever. Your priorities change coz now, you are not only thinking of yourself but of others also, members of your family. You will have dreams and aspirations for your children once you hold them in your hand. That's what happened to me. At first, it was only me and my wife. Then after six months of being married, she got pregnant and gave birth 9 months later. The first time I held on to my daughter, it was pure bliss! WOW! A precious gift from God! A baby girl that we can call our own. To cherish and to nurture. Thoughts flooded my mind on the presence of my new baby. Dreams and aspirations grew everyday and made me excited all the time. So becoming a father really brings out the best in us. So let us do our best to give the best to our children. I wish all the father here a fruitful experience with their children as long as they shall live. More power to everyone! God bless everyone!
