We're currently looking to start a family, so I thought I'd hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time.

Dad's of Lemmy could you share some good advice for someone just starting a family please :D
It's ok if you don't feel love or attachment to your baby. I spent the better part of a year or two wondering if I was a sociopath. But as my boy started growing up and developing his personality, that love and attachment grew into something deeply emotional and unconditional.
Fight for your right to parent and spend time with your baby. Your wife might think it's her burden to bear, but insist on you having time to bond, which will also give your wife a break or chance to check in with herself that won't feel like she's putting you out.
Bandit (Bluey's Dad) is Dad Goals, but don't get down on yourself if you can't get there. As long as your child knows you love them and that you spend time with them when they want you, you're already the best Dad ever.
