One of my best friends who has one child and second on the way told me be ready for change. I never really gave it much thought because my wife and I were through the late night partying phase. Being that I am 31 and she is 30 we were tired of the bar hoping scene. Being an avid fan of "Scrubs" I always went back to when Dr.Cox told Carla and Turk having a child was like having a dog that learns to talk... So with that said...
Having a daughter and being over protective I think it changed me more mentally rather than from a physical standpoint. I view the world from a different perspective now, I now no longer get caught up in petty stuff and basically let things role off my shoulder. In the past I was always concerned with what friends were happy with my decisions. Yep I based my decsions on what I felt other people wanted, now having a child everyone can basically kiss my ass. It might seem selfish but I can no longer worry about who is mad about not being invited to dinner, movie, etc. My world revolves around my daughter now and everyone else is on the backburner.
Now of course only my friends with kids understand this thinking because they have been through it. Having a child will change your life one way or another. In my case it has been for the better and I wouldn't change it for anything..
