I always wanted kids. I always kind of knew I’d be a dad someday. Maybe it’s because I’m from a big family — I have 5 siblings. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. I don’t know, but I just always kinda knew that one day, I’d be a father. And then it happened. Twice. And let tell you: it’s not quite what I thought it was going be. It’s more…extreme. It’s wayyyyy harder. The lows are low. But the highs are higher than anything else I’ve ever experienced. Let’s get specific: here are 9 things that no one told me about becoming a dad, along with 13 bite-sized practical tips. 📪 GET MY FREE NEWSLETTER - https://brockmcgoff.com/subscribe 🎬 WHAT TO WATCH NEXT How to Dress Taller → https://youtu.be/oE59Pcl4I34 3 Types of Suits → https://youtu.be/CLFBsw_Jjes Skinny Guy Style Tips → https://youtu.be/ghDDLx720es Neutral Colors → https://youtu.be/DZ5dqPbOXOw Business Casual Style → https://youtu.be/ygzSSDEo7Dk Shorts Length → https://youtu.be/Wvo3-Z1-TUQ Subscription Boxes → https://youtu.be/SfFFIY7G2l0 Best Boot Color → https://youtu.be/kPi-cyXGTC4 Getting Rid of Clothes → https://youtu.be/OP0UQQNOqfg How to Cuff Pants → https://youtu.be/S9A2z8TYkRg 👉 FOLLOW ME ON My Website - https://brockmcgoff.com/ Newsletter - https://brockmcgoff.com/subscribe Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brockmcgoff TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@brockmcgoff 🧍🏻MY SIZES I'm 5'6" with shoes on and about 125 lbs after dinner. I have a 35" chest; I usually wear XS tops and 28x28 pants (or 28x30 cuffed). My best suit jacket size is 34 Short, but even 34S needs alterations (mostly shortening of the sleeves and jacket), so my best-fitting suits are custom. #brockmcgoff Contains affiliate links // Stay stylish! ---- Practical lifestyle tips to help you look good, feel great and become the best version of yourself. 💪 I’m Brock McGoff (previously The Modest Man), a former men’s style blogger and current Millennial dad who’s trying to age like top shelf bourbon.
