THE ANXIOUS DAD
When we were expecting our first, the only people we knew with kids were our neighbors; the woman looked awful and was constantly bitchy, so fear was a factor for me. But my wife was beautiful and sex was plentiful; we had a book that showed some fun positions for when she got really big. We used all of them—twice.

(the Mark and Brian show), father of three

One of the scariest things about impending fatherhood is the realization that I am never going to be the adult I thought I would be when I had a child. I still feel like a kid in many ways.
— Actor Ben Stiller, father-to-be

I knew in my heart that I could take care of a child, but
I was still nervous that I somehow wouldn’t be able
to do it. It was both an unknown and something I cared about so much. But once my son came into this world, that fear disappeared.
— Actor Dean Cain, father of one
