How do I help my husband overcome fatherhood fears
So my husband and I got married last year and we already knew we wanted to start having babies soon after our wedding. Tonight, after the last two months of baby stuff coming up in convo and him pushing it aside saying he's not ready, he finally told me why he doesn't feel ready. He first tried to play it off on our house, saying there were things he wanted to see done with it first. That's fine, I feel the same way, but I know that it will probably take us awhile to conceive due to my crazy hormones (which is one of the reasons I want to start now). Then, he told me that he's scared. He's afraid of failing as a father and not raising our kids right. That's understandable too as neither of us have kids, and he's never really been around kids too much. (Here and there when his mom would babysit for friends, but he's never been directly responsible.) I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas to help him overcome this fear. When we spoke about it, I did explain that I know he will be a great father because of multiple reasons and that we are a partnership and if he feels like he's not doing something right, we can always readjust, or ask for advice from his parents. What else can I do to help with him?
