I will be a first time dad in mid July. Me and my wife talk about the baby and all the wonderful things we’re planning as parents after he’s born and our plans on how we want to take care of him quite often and I love those conversations. I love setting up the baby room and preparing the house and all that as well Although when I am thinking to myself I would say almost 90% of my thoughts are not centered around our future child at all and if they are it’s mostly just worrying about if I’ll be a good dad etc. A lot of my thoughts are work, hobbies like fishing, painting, drawing and of course the new fish tank that I had put together at the house (excuse was it’s for the baby, but I just wanted an aquarium to be honest lol) and I know all of the stuff that I like to do currently will change quite a bit in the future What’s bothering me is I guess that I don’t think a whole lot about our future baby when I am by myself, I sort of just think selfishly about all the things that I like to do even that I know I won’t be able to do them as often or not at all. Does anyone else feel the same way or does feel the same way as I currently do? submitted by /u/TylerTurden-11
