Lessons after 6 years of fatherhood

It is kind of unreal that my first child was born more than 6 years ago. These last 6 years have changed me so much, here are some of the biggest lesson that I learned:

1. Parenting is easy if it is your top priority. The hard part is trying to do everything else.
2. Parenting is hard even if that is you top priority. You will be tired a lot.
3. Sleep is extremely important. Prioritize sleep over everything so you can perform your best.
4. No matter what you do, kids will behave in unexpected ways. They are not robots 🤖 .
5. Food is hard. I don’t worry about healthy food, I just want to give them enough calories as they are picky eaters. Other parents worry about their kids eating too much.
6. You must follow your dreams, not for you, but for your kids. You will feel tired all the time, and would not want to push your limits. But you must set an example of responsibly pursuing your dreams or your kids will never follow their dreams. Or they would do it in less responsible ways.
