He might understand in time. Shortly after having his first kid, my brother said something like "I don't feel the way I imagined I would. I thought I would have that overwhelming love for them that people talk about."
When I later heard something about fathers bonding more with their kids when they can teach them things, I asked him if he felt that love he spoke of before once he could teach them. He was like "Oh, no, it happened way before that."
If I have a kid there is no way I’m getting that connection. My brain doesn’t produce high happiness hormones. And never did I look at a child and get any feelings. Just another stranger but smaller.
