[grid::fatherhood]
Q: What advice would you have liked to receive when you were a new or expectant father?
The biggest surprise for me as a new father was that I would give up so much of my "personal" time to do kid and family stuff. Actually the surprise wasn't that I gave it up, but that I don't miss it. Being a father was so much more rewarding that now I wonder what I spent all that time doing.
So my advise is: don't worry about all the things you might have to give up and spend the time with your family, you won't regret it.
(It is all Tim Bacon's and Dave Hoover's idea)
