Guffaws.

Dads don't go through 9 months of nausea, vomitting and all the other symptoms of morning sickness that moms have to endure. Dads don't have to suffer during delivery. Dads don't have to worry about a flying career in jeopardy once a child arrives into the house.

So it amazes me when I read from The Sun today that apparently dads DO actually suffer from post-natal depresssion. Some dads that is. According to the article, a child whose father 'suffers' from such an illness faces an increased risk of having psychological problems in early life. Goodness.

Come on. Sure, the combination of having a newborn child in the hands and thinking about the future responsibilities as a dad is very overwhelming experience for most men. But that's why life is so sweet. As the child grows and learn, so does the dad. Lessons are best learnt by walking down the path we call life together.

I would think that 7 months (since most men found out about the good news when his wife is already 2 months into pregnancy) is hell of a long time for any man to prepare for this upcoming Superhero role that he has to assume.

If moms can do it, so can dads. In fact, I do know of a great dad that everyone should get to know... :-)
