(Parenting.com) -- Here's one thing they don't teach dads in prenatal class: Once a baby's in the picture, you're going to be shopping for more than just diapers. You're also going to be scoping out some new friends.
Moms go through this friend turnover as well, but I'd argue that we have a tougher time with the transition than our wives do.
Why? Because men and women interact very differently with their same-sex pals. Sure, women do stuff together, but they're also happy to convene over coffee -- a date often planned well in advance -- or call each other up just to chat.
Guys aren't quite so down with the whole heart-to-heart thing. We tend to connect by doing something active, such as a hike or a round of golf, typically arranged the night before.
This strange phenomenon is also know as losing your balls.
Get new friends? My friends without wives and kids are the only thing that keep me sane.
A hike? Some of the other active things we dads do together are
1. get lap dances
2. watch each other get lap dances
3. buy each other lap dances
4. talk about how much weight are wives have gained
5. share stories about how awesome we were in high school
