How wonderful and magical. Enjoy these early months and years. I have 4 of these miracles and 2 pieces of advice. Take many pictures and videos, you can’t have enough and don’t vexinate your precious one. She is perfect as is and does not need any toxic sludge injected 💜
1. Becoming a dad affirmed my faith in the sense that it gave me a very concrete example of the sacred. Something that completely transcends any other love and attachment I've ever had and commits me rather joyfully to cherish it.
2. More from a far right perspective, it provided me with an example of the one moral undergirding that should be at the basis of any political system - the flourishing of my posterity. Everything else pales by comparison; no abstraction and no moral law can compete with my obligation to care for my posterity.
I've been conditioned not to talk about how great having kids is, especially online, because I seem to immediately get accused of not being sufficiently worried about infertile women. But I think actually the world needs more of these kinds of essays. Kids are great. Taking care of them is fun. And each one multiplies the joy. When you bring your second home, your daughter will be thrilled along with you and your wife. Keep going after that, because the marginal costs of baby number 3 are pretty low, but the benefits are big. And so on.
As the youngest child I was not a leash kid per se, but my parents did tranquilize me using a variety of tactics and technologies.
I’m Harrison, an ex fine dining industry line cook. My stack "The Secret Ingredient" adapts hit restaurant recipes (mostly NYC and L.A.) for easy home cooking.
My wife is zealously against letting the kid have a smartphone or unrestricted Internet access. Not that I don't share some concerns about that myself, but she's more hardcore about it than me. I think our daughter will probably be well-insulated from "the internet machine" thanks to that.
You’re very lucky to experience it, and realize how special it is. Every stage is fun and different and challenging.
I’ve realized I’ll never be exceptional at much/anything, but being a great dad(/mom) makes a big difference to the world to someone(s).
The joy of raising and connecting with your child is unlike anything else. The stress and exhaustion, however, are feelings we’ve encountered before.
Congratulations, I’m rooting for you and your family.

I take pictures of her every day.
Congratulations on this wonderful new chapter of your life! How do you manage work?
Currently between jobs. But my wife will be (already is I guess) a stay at home full time mother.
Congratulations
Congratulations Person, best of luck on this new chapter of your life :)
Congrats on becoming a parent! You find a love inside yourself you never knew you were capable of, and it stays with you for life.
Two points from my own similar experience:
1. Becoming a dad affirmed my faith in the sense that it gave me a very concrete example of the sacred. Something that completely transcends any other love and attachment I've ever had and commits me rather joyfully to cherish it.
