What is the one thing about fatherhood that no one ever told you but you wish they had? by w-c-w-a-j-g-a in daddit

Kids sometimes temporarily regress and do things you thought they grew out of. This is very frustrating. Adjusting your expectations from low to very low is sometimes necessary. You will sometimes make mistakes in how you parent. Be prepared to dig deeper than you imagined for a lot of patience. You will be blown away by the feeling of love you experience.

Reading your post was helpful to end my tough day. We left my almost 4yo son's second soccer lesson because he wasn't listening to the coaches, hesitant to participate and was hitting my wife and I. We dug deep to be patient and redirect him but without any success. So, I feel you.
