Its hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before youre about to become a father. You are asking:

11、will I make a good father? How will I cope? Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can I provide for it? Heeelp! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy (不适) before the birth and it would be most unusual

12、if you didnt share them.Its difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. A hen-pecked (惧内的) boss may feel like a seven-year-old when hes at home.

15、some moments in their lives, are capable of great maturity.Once your baby arrives, youll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. Youll see you have very little in common with a need

16、y child, particularly if its looking to you for comfort and support.Comfort yourself, David, with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. And remember that people who havent grown up dont go around talking about the fact t

17、hat they dont feel grown-up.Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one.Sincerely Yours,Miss Advice43.
