welcome to the wonderful world of mylot. i think you worry too much. i have a 5 years old son. you and your son needs to grow with experience. you will learn a lot from your child as he learns a lot from you. you need to set goals. you said you are still a student, then you need to be a student and a dad now. study and work if you can is what you need to do. dont forget that you are also a son so you also need to see if you as a son is doing right. if your parents will let you study even you have a son already then grab that chance to study harder and make your son as the inspiration. goodluck with the parenting and goodluck with mylot as well.

Parenting does not come with an owners manual. The reality of it is that you must raise your children according to what your heart tells you as well as your value system. I often ask myself this very question. I was 19 when I had my son, so I can understand what its like. I had a hard time being a parent and a big part was that the father was not around. Financially or in person. So the fact that you are there for your son will weigh out with positivitey on what you arent sure about as far as being a father. I am glad to hear of a man willing to step up and actually be a father. One thing someone told me once is this, how your children act in public is the portrayal about how you are doing. Happy parenting!!

I think that's great that you are eager to be a good father. Don't forget to be very appreciative that your parents are helping you out. If he goes to school and asks "why do we live with grandma and grampa when my friends live with their parents only" then you should tell him that you did not have a lot of money, and grandma and grampa love you guys both so much that they helped you by letting you live in a nice house. He will grow up to appreciate you and his grandparents if you show him how.
Enjoy his childhood! He won't idolize you forever, so enjoy that now.
You'll do fine if you keep trying your best :)

I think the fact that you are even asking this question would probably point to the fact that you are being a good father :)
Spend time with your little boy. have bags of patience and mostly realise that the time before they start school goes so very fast and you will never get it back - so enjoy it! Spend every second you can with him! Show him love! You won't go far wrong :)
