*This is a collaborative post

When you become a family and you have a child or you add to your family, it can certainly change you as. a person. We speak a lot about how it affects us as mothers, but what about your partners and how they feel when they become a father. Sometimes it is good to consider the changes and the positive impact that your partner experiences when it comes to fatherhood. Here are some of the common changes.

Talking about the future, property and politics

Years ago, pre children, pre marriage and during the days where you partner or husband would be out on the town and enjoying life, the terms future thinking probably never even crossed their mind. Let’s be honest, they may not have been able to even plan their weekends. But now they are a father, they think about the future. They talk about property prices, the headlines on the news and the future for yourselves and your children. In all seriousness, it may be a little boring, but they care about what world your children are going to grow up in, and also what we can do to help our children thrive as they get older. This normally means we now have to be an adult and discuss and make wise financial choices. 

Enjoying Father’s Day

Just as we enjoy Mother’s Day, Father’s Day is a pivotal date in the calendar for our partners, and they get a chance to enjoy their day. As mothers, we will be scouring the internet’s nd shops looking for ideal Father’s Day gifts and ideas on how you can enjoy the day together as a family. It must be enjoyable for them as Mother’s Day is enjoyable for us. In fact, it’s coming up so we may need to start thinking about it soon enough. 

Rocking the dad bod and the dad dancing

Life changes for your partner when they become a father, and none more evident than the way they look. The dad bod, the bags under their eyes, and while it may have been a scary thought in your youth, these days you just go with it. And let’s not forget the embarrassing dad dancing that has become a thing. Fathers feel insecure about their body changes just as much as we do. 

Fixing things in the home

Finally, it has now become their mission to fix things in the home. What they can do with their hammer and screwdriver knows no bounds. It becomes an obsession, and the instructions go out of the window. Looking at YouTube videos and making it their sole purpose to be the fixer. Such a dad thing to do. 

We often forget that our partners go through significant changes when they become a father, some amazing positive changes that we can relate to, and other changes that can be life-changing. It is always good to embrace these changestogether as a family unit and enjoy it. Life as a family and with children is a rollercoaster for sure.
