We are expecting our second child within the next 4 weeks. I'm excited in some ways and have participated in birthing classes as best I could. However, I think I suffer from a common dad issue - I haven't really shown the type of enthusiasm that my wife would like.
I don't think I'm on my own, I think it's probably a common male trait. I will be a good father and take great care of our newborn, but I don't really know how to do that when our baby isn't here yet.
I try to be supportive of my wife, but I have to be honest in that this is not my strength. I'll wake up at all hours and change innumerable diapers, but I just am no good at showing up for my wife until those talents are needed.
