What I Wish I Had Known
Before my baby was born I wish I knew that the experience could unpack issues my wife and I had dealt with long ago. That we’d be resolving some of our old personal issues at the same time we’d learn to be parents. Also what it meant to work together after just being together. Too many parenting books are very dogmatic and not necessarily accurate. There is no one best way to be a parent in charge of your family. We get to do our life and be parents one time. Enjoy it, be in it, we’re always in this together, don’t worry more than necessary. Most of us do fine.
