Kiddo, you about blow my mind. Do you know what a wonderful rarity that you are??
An old saying is that the best thing a father can do for his children is to LOVE HIS WIFE. It sets an example. It helps hold the two of you together as a couple (even when the babies are adults).
I suspect someone in your life has shown you what a good dad can be. Sit down and think about the qualities that you wanted from your father (and maybe got).
It is good to respect your parents and hers.. but shift to thinking that YOUR family comes first now.
If there is one thing I have heard from so many unhappy wives, is that a guy works 8 hrs and figures hey, I am DONE for the day. Moms work 24/7, there is no "time off" for them. When baby is newest, you might feel scared to physically deal with the baby, that's kind of normal. Like driving... you HAVE to do it, to get used to it, then suddenly its like breathing.
NOT pushing religion.. but if you feel good in a church, those teachings about patience, guidance, kindness- these are all worth it ten fold when it comes to babies.
I googled "being a good dad" and I did come up with many hits. Browse through those. And maybe you are the person who has lots to teach other guys.
You have love for both your wife and your baby. Really, you already have the most essential ingredient. The rest will come naturally, as long as you put those first.

THANK YOU for standing up and doing the right thing. Anything said to women about parenting is the same for men, your desire to be part of your child's life is the most important thing the rest you learn as you go. Being loving and responsible are two very strong advantages of happy relationship. Keep up the good work and just enjoy the process of watching growing up and new challenges of youth.

I would suggest you and your family go to a family planning clinic or health centre and talk to someone there. It's good that you're seeking support, most guys wouldn't and would just blunder through it. It's obvious that you love your wife and child and you should be proud of yourself for reaching out. There are fatherhood support clinics around too so checking them out online or making an appointment to speak to someone will help.
All the best and good luck for the future.

Make sure you have a job to support you baby and your wife, Get involved with new parenting classes from the health department, or ask a parent for help, they have been through it at least once already trust me they will have plenty of advice for you. Lastly love and care for your wife and new baby! Good luck, and congrats!

well its nice to see a man do the right thing all the best. the best place to start is your family doctor he or she might know of places you can get info and support and ask alot of questions even if you think there silly people will help when they see your trying your best and lean on your wife for support she may not know the answer but then the two of you can find it together.
good luck

Well depending on where you live go to the state office for your county, they hae many different programs, or like the other person said type in teenage parent aide in your state and city. Apply for everything even the stuff that is claimed for just girls still go to them for help also.

Welcome to the world of grown up men. You see, women are expected to need help and information on everything, ... men are expected to just suck it up and figure it out for ourselves. All I can say is congratulations for choosing to do the right thing, ... but sadly, I don't know of any sites that can be helpful.

the only advice i have is go to google and type in teenage fathers. or u can go to the health department and see if they can give you information on being a new dad.
congratulations on the baby.

Start local. Try a church or check with your city to see if there are any resources for you.
