Adjust your priorities to focus on your family's needs from "summary" of Dude, You're Gonna Be a Dad! by John Pfeiffer
When you become a father, your priorities are going to change. It's no longer just about you and what you want. You have a family now, and their needs come first. This means adjusting your focus to make sure you are meeting the needs of your partner and your child. It may mean sacrificing some of the things you used to enjoy or changing your schedule to accommodate your new responsibilities. Your family is your top priority now, and everything else comes second. This might mean cutting back on work hours, saying no to social events, or giving up hobbies that take up too much time. It's all about finding a balance that allows you to be there for your family when they need you most. This doesn't mean you have to give up everything you love, but it does mean making some sacrifices for the greater good of your family. Being a dad means being selfless and putting your family's needs above your own. This might mean missing out on some things you used to enjoy, but the rewards of being there for your family far outweigh any sacrifices you might have to make. Your family is counting on you to be there for them, and that means adjusting your priorities to focus on what they need. In the end, being a dad is all about being there for your family and doing whatever it takes to meet their needs. It's not always easy, but it's incredibly rewarding. So embrace the changes that come with fatherhood and adjust your priorities to focus on your family's needs. They are the most important thing in your life now, and making sure they are taken care of should be your number one goal.
