> Baby’s arrival will represent an upheaval to your routine too. You will see your wife becoming a mother, and realise that you have new responsibilities you must meet. You will be required to pass on your values, raise your child, and find the right tone to assert your authority.
> Finding your place: the mother-child bond is so strong that some men may find this difficult. You may want to seek support from your wife.
