6 Things New Dads Should Know About New Moms

4. Your wife wants to feel young

As a new father, you should know that even though your wife has become a new mother, she doesn’t want to feel like she is sixty years old. She stills wants to be flirted with, wooed, caressed and pampered silly by you just like when you were dating. Don’t let the romance fizzle out just because there is a new arrival in your family.

5. Your wife can cry without any reason

A new dad should feel at home with his wife’s outbursts for no apparent reason. This is their way of letting out all their exhaustion and emotional catharses. Remember that when your wife cries for no real reason, she needs a shoulder to cry on. She doesn’t want your advice or unnecessary questions.

6. Your wife will feel obsessed with her baby

Don’t be scared if you see your wife sending pictures of your baby to random people, emailing videos of how the baby looks while sleeping or recording random sounds the baby makes. A new mother is likely to be obsessed with the latest arrival in her life. Her obsession will die down naturally, just give it some time.
