I always say that one of the things that I am most grateful to fatherhood is that I completely disassembled the schemes and that I would enter spin my stock scale, which came out with a completely new order. What seemed really important became less important, and what was new, the feelings of being a father, the responsibility for caring and the possibility of love without conditions, entered directly to the first position.
A voluntary rejection of many things he did when he had no children so he could spend more time with them and dedicate it to what is really important. However, as the years go by, and even though it weighs more than you earn than what you lose, you start to miss some of those things you left behind: the more than 30 things that men miss when they had no children.
I miss them, but I don't change it
On many occasions they end up coming back, because children grow up and end up having some free time; but in the meantime you live in the wait, thinking about those times without children and how you would like to be able to do, or that it was a moment, what you liked so much.
I do not get more than 30 things, really, but so that this was not just a post with the things that I miss, I asked a group of parents about it and they answered many things. That is, maybe there is a man who misses all of them, but usually the parents have told me one or two things, and I think everyone agrees on something: "I miss it, but I don't change it for all the moments I'm going through with my child."
