Man Shares The 10 Most Important Things He's Learned In His First 6 Months Of Parenthood And The Thread Goes Viral

Here's a new twist on fatherhood from a new father who shares his experiences in the form of hilarious tweets.

Parenting is a never-ending learning process. It is not just the kids; the parents also have to learn and adapt as things come their way.

Children are little bundles of energy, and they need proper care to flourish. However, it can be quite overwhelming for parents to take care of these little munchkins.

The adults handle everything from feeding the infant to cleaning up after them. This is as intense as one can imagine.

Understanding the child's mood and knowing their sleeping patterns is a task to accomplish. Indeed, it turns out to be a great responsibility on the shoulders of the parents.

The most beautiful feeling of being a parent can become cumbersome for some. The partnership between the mother and the father can make or break the experience.

If the father actively participates in taking care of the infant, it aids the mother, and the child receives equal attention and love. This is ideal for the growth of children.

This is exactly what is happening in the case of little Mihla, who is fortunate enough to have a caring father. Bonisile Mgidi shared a thread on Twitter that went viral, and people enjoyed the list of things he learned from being a parent for 160 days.
