An honest reflection of being a father for the last 2.5 years:
1. Sometimes for no apparent reason, you'll start crying
2. Parenting is a constant cycle of ups and downs
3. Ask for help (it really does take a village)
4. Friends and family (even with good intentions) will always find something to nit-pick about your parenting style
5. Having a child will test your relationship with your partner and reveal that you two *might* not be on the same page as you thought you were
6. Default-divorce is the path unless you and your partner actively work on your relationship
7. Toss every expectation you had about what it'll be like as a father
8. Movies lie
9. All of the above highly depends on the type of child you have
10. Culture plays a big role. The west and east have _very_ different ways of raising children
