We’re currently looking to start a family, so I thought I’d hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time.

Dad’s of Lemmy could you share some good advice for someone just starting a family please :D
Watch Bluey, be like Bandit. 😉
Be there, be useful, be kind. Sleep is huge. When ever you can, let your partner sleep and you take baby. Be able to change a nappy and change many. If the baby changing is part of the women’s loo, kick up a fuss rather than say you can’t do it then. Basically be able do everything except the breast feeding , which you clearly can’t do. But you can get your partner all the drinks and snacks she needs to feed. House work is also something you can take over to help.
One of my pet hates is useless dads. They give us all a bad name.
