family first mentality man, it kicks in as soon as you are a dad, i'm sure you feel it already. as long as you feel you personally get to spend enough time per day with your family, everything else will fall into place. most of us are very routine by nature in this sport/hobby/whatever you want to call it. in time, your child falls right into that routine and is a daily staple you require just the same as 6 meals, a workout, etc. i took some time off of the gym when my son was born and while i felt frustrated at the beginning, it quickly changed and i was equally happy being around my little dude. over the following weeks the gym was reassimilated into my daily routine and just made it work. having an understanding partner of course is part of it but also being understanding that his mother is not the sole provider and you gotta do your part too. i will say, kudos if you have a breast feeder cuz you'll never have to wake up in the middle of the night to make a bottle cuz she's the sole source!!!
