Me personally, back in late 2006, my girlfriend told me she was pregnant for the first time, I wasn't even ready for parenting and I was kinda selfish at the time because had everything I wanted in terms of buying games and stuff and when I knew I was gonna be a father, I thought it was the end of my gaming hood life as I know it. When my daughter was born in May 2007, the first year will be learning what the baby needs, what to do and not to do, me and my girlfriend had support from our parents and guess what, it's not bad as I thought it would be, I still get to play my games as I watch my daughter growing up and I'm still he game guy as I was in 2006 but not the selfish part.
Here are a some tips this might help you from my experience:
- Always have a game plan, back up plans like putting extra money to the side for the child.
- Always have time to play with your baby as you and the child learn each other.
- Having a kid isn't as bad as it may seems, it's fun, just don't try to be all nevus about it and you'll be just fine.
- Just because you have a child doesn't mean you can't have fun of your own, if you can make time & plan your daily schedule, you can still enjoy your personal hobbies like playing games or go to see a movie.
- Having one child should be easier and since I do have just one, I find it easy to care for my daughter then having multiple kids but that's my opinion on that part.
Overall, if you have a nice career making money and have a good relationship with your girlfriend who wants to have a baby, you'll be just fine :)
My daughter is 10, I'm 32 and still young so hey, I'm still learning as I watch my child growing up. Now Teenage years, yeah I don't know what to expect but I'll soon find out in the upcoming years.
