Yes Dads, Mums get really scared and need you. Being by your partner’s side, reassuring them will bring life together. Often Mum’s biggest question is, “Have I got it right?” … and we look at those we know to show us what to do, but in reality Mum and Dad are learning as they go. They are doing their best to sort what makes sense for them and what is advertising bull!
Remember, advertising and marketing is focused on SELLING something and it can create far reaching problems down the track by manipulating what popular thought culture is … “In order to do the right thing for your children, you MUST do this otherwise you are not doing a good enough job of being a parent …” There is a lot of fear created with the marketing some companies do online and offline … FEAR is known to be a great motivator.
New parents have parents that they can share ideas with. They often have friends, brothers and sisters who already have children of their own that they see on a regular basis. If they are paying attention, new parents will see that they really don’t need a lot of the expensive equipment that is out there.
Buying the basics is the way to go 
…. Remember you can always add as you go!!
Here is where the Power of Partnership plays an important role …
Before the birth of your child, agree, between the two of you, to work together during this amazing time.
Dad, Mum needs you to be the king of your castle! She needs you to protect and look after the family when she is tired, upset and confused. When you are partners, you will know what she needs even if she does not know in the moment. Mum, you need to let Dad be the king of the castle knowing that you are the queen of the castle. You need to trust him and let him do what he knows is best. Together you will come up with the answers. Remember too, your parents and sisters, friends and brothers are great backup if they have children.
Here are a couple of suggestions to help you both grow as parents …
Only read books, 1-2 at most, that are written in a down to earth way. Make sure that they have been updated and are written by an author who is living the dream you want to be living in the real world. There are quite a few books out there created by people who only have uni based or job based experience. You really want to make sure that you are getting advise from people who have children and grandchildren and who have real-life experience with what works and what does not work.
Grandparents are a great resource for support. And, when you show your children how to care for and behave with grandma and grandpa, you are also teaching them how to care for and behave with YOU when your children become parents themselves.
When my grandson and granddaughter come over to our house to stay on Saturday and Sunday, they love it when we are do things together – cooking together in the kitchen, going for a drive to take bottles to recycle in the land cruiser, in the shed making things and using the spammers, hammers, nuts and bolts! It makes my heart happy to see that it’s not only Luke who wants to be out in the shed but also Jennah my grand daughter. They just LOVE spending time with their grandpa. Sharing those little every day things and being together is just wonderful all the way around!
