Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

Don't worry,it'll be OK. You'll be financially poorer but, as has been eloquently pointed out here, you'll be a DAD, which is about the best thing there is.
You don't need lots of fancy equipment for the baby and TBH, I wouldn't buy a thing, as people will gladly give you everything you need - cot, baby clothes, buggy, whatever you want.
If anyone offers you anything, swallow your pride and accept it.
Don't shell out unless you really have to, and even then try the Buy/Sell!
I know that won't help with the wife's loss of earnings but in the long run, a few years' frugality with your young family will be the making of you both. ;)
PS I have of course been there, done that.
