The True Thrill Of Becoming A Dad
As I sit here writing this article I have to say that I am one proud man. I have just arrived back from dropping off my son at school and this has inspired me to write about the ways in which I have changed, as a person, since becoming a father.
Prior to my son being born I have to admit that I was a fool. I only ever used to think of myself and I was therefore a rather selfish person. I was also extremely lazy in my business life. I am self-employed and tended to work as little as I could – as long as I earned enough money to get by I was happy. I was also very much into the party lifestyle – each and every Friday and Saturday (unless I was ill) would be spent in a local bar drinking copious amounts of alcohol with my friends. I thought this was a rather good life – that was until I became a parent.
There was a large period of time when my wife and I believed that she would not be able to conceive and during this period we considered becoming a foster carer via fostering as well as visiting a professional consultant gynaecologist. But then she fell pregnant which was an amazing delight.
Ever since my son has been born I have changed in a rather massive way. My family are now my main priority (instead of me), I am now very much the businessman and work very hard each and every day – I have even started to save money. I no longer drink alcohol and my weekends are mainly spent with the family – I have basically grown up and I have finally become a responsible adult. This is what life is all about and it is certainly true happiness.
I would certainly recommend other people out their to become parents as it has definitely changed my life for the better.
