On being a Dad
Daddies, generally being the busy ones working, tend to spend less time with the kids. Naturally.
And this usually means they miss out on witnessing many of the children’s firsts – milestones – like the time they first smile, giggle, crawl (or fall!)
But anyway, Wilson and I had a good chat over lunch today about daddies’ roles in the family.
And basically he shares how he feels daddies – not just the moms – should see the importance of educating and raising their children too. And how – amongst their busyness – they should try and make themselves ‘available’ for the kids (read: being there for them, spending quality time with the kids whenever they can).
And I completely agree.
It takes both a mom and a dad to fill the role of parents. It’s never just about ‘leaving everything in Mom’s good hands’.
I know he’s a better Daddy today than some 3 years ago. Through ups and downs, he continually learns and becomes better. A better Dad. A better person.
Anyway.
Here’s to all daddies: Happy Father’s Day!
