Growing up, my parents used to always tell me that having kids is one of the greatest things you'd do in your life.
With Father's Day right around the corner, I want to hear from you all you dads! What do you wish you knew before having kids?
Maybe you discovered no matter how many parenting books you read, being a father actually comes with a lot of trial and error?
Perhaps you and your partner had a huge sense of shock when you saw just how expensive everything from childcare to baby essentials are?
Or, maybe you finally realized all the lessons your parents tried to teach you growing up made a lot more sense as you started raising your own little ones?
