Dad brains: How fatherhood rewires the male mind | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion covered a report suggesting fatherhood can change men’s hormones and emotions, possibly raising oxytocin and lowering testosterone.

One commenter said the article matched his own experience after having a baby, describing noticeable personal changes.

The discussion also criticized employers that do not offer paternity leave.
