conv: I'm really not sure what to do; my wife is having our baby next week and I don't think we're ready for her! I've read parenting books and talked to my own therapist about it_comma_ but I'm just a nervous wreck. I am so not ready for this baby. The wife is due next week_comma_ and I'm really uncertain that I'm gonna be a good dad or that we'll have enough to provide for her. You will be fine. Its going to be hard but dont beat yourself up over it. I hope you're right. I've read lots of parenting books_comma_ and I've been seeing my therapist regularly. There's just so much that I'm still worried about. Then it sounds like you are already ahead of most new fathers.
