The beautiful journey of being a father - Insights: Episode 2 | Ezyschooling
Ways in which being a father changes life
Becomes more affectionate
If you weren't into public displays of affection before, that's all about to change. There's going to be kissing and hugging, and it's going to happen on demand, at any time and any place, and you're going to be okay with it.
You get really excited by small accomplishments.
Like a child that manages to eat vegetables. Even a single bite of broccoli will make you do a victory dance.
You're responsible in ways you never thought possible.
It's one thing to be in a relationship and have people depend on you financially and emotionally. It's quite another to become a dad and realize you're responsible for keeping this tiny new human being alive. He or she depends on you for everything! That's an awesome responsibility, and not one to take lightly.
You're not as risk-prone.
When you were younger and childless, being careless with your health felt like good gamble. But now that you're older, and there's this tiny person who depends on you, taking risks — whether it's booze and cigarettes or driving too fast — seems like the most selfish, wrongheaded thing you could ever do. That's right, you're boring now. And happy to be so.
You can experience a full range of emotions in under a minute.
Being a dad can be an emotional rollercoaster, quite literally. In the span of just 60 seconds, it can take you from red-faced anger ("Put that down! Why aren't you listening to me?!!") to full-on weeping ("You were just a baby yesterday!") to heart-swelling unconditional love ("I just feel so lucky to be your dad.") Are all dads manic depressive? It sure does feel that way sometimes.
You learn to think before you act.
Your words have power, especially as a father. So you stop blurting out the first thoughts that come into your head. You start considering how other people might react, and whether you're speaking out of anger or raw emotion, and how sometimes it's just a better idea to say nothing at all.
The social norms are rightfully changing. Fathers are contributing equally to mothers and not just with the finances. Let's see how our parent for today: Mr. Vikram Arora explains his journey as a father.
