We're currently looking to start a family, so I thought I'd hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time.

Dad's of Lemmy could you share some good advice for someone just starting a family please :D

The most important thing is having a human - as opposed to some sort of monster. Some cultures consider boys more important than girls (very common), while others consider girls more important than boys (much less common) - this is one of the few cases where I will firmly state that all such cultures are wrong. Enjoy what you get. As a parent of both I can tell you that they are different and they are both worth having.
