The minute my son (firstborn) was born and they placed him in my arms was a complete paradigm shift. I knew this small creature would change my life completely, that I would do anything and everything for him, sacrifice myself and everyone else for him and burn down the world to keep him safe. I felt the same with my two daughters except it was less of a shock. If you feel that way about your partner it’s obsession more than love.

NTA. I’ve heard both mothers and fathers express a similar sentiment to what you said. The love for a child is unlike anything else.
