I am a father and am tired of being guilt-tripped for not having this amazing come-to-Jesus moment the moment I became one. I did not turn into another person when I became a father. There are no words to express how much I love being a father but nothing has really changed, personality wise. I still make decisions some stupid parents see as 'selfish'. Only difference is I have someone I love just as much (ok, maybe slightly more) than me. He is very well-cared for, privileged and is perfectly fine living anywhere.

I think you are basically saying the same thing as me. (See highlighted.)
