Brett Young's second daughter Rowan Marie is here (born July 21st), and he says that he's learned a lot about being a dad, and how to best support his wife, from his first daughter Presley, who's almost two years old now.
“I think what I’ve realized, like the best ‘dadding,’ is to be able to identify mom‘s needs without her having to tell you," he reveals in a statement from his label. "Because they’re gonna take the brunt of it, especially at this age. Like, the baby needs mom all the time, so trying to figure out where you can insert yourself and help without getting to the point where she’s like, ‘AAGGHH! Help me!’
"So, I think at the beginning, it was like taking out the trash or doing the dishes, the things that I would normally do, but just making sure like there wasn’t ever a dish in the sink or the trash never got half full, or things like that," he continues. "And now I think I’ve been able to watch Taylor be a mom long enough to know what she needs before she needs it.
"And so, I think that the skill set that I’ve kind of honed in on the most is being able to read Taylor and make sure she has what she needs from me before she has to ask me for it.”
