ALWAYS REMEMBER: YOU ARE THE FATHER
When you’ve been in the office for 60 hours this week, don’t forget you’re a father first and foremost. No one ever says at the end of their lives: “I wish I spent more time at the office”
When your buddies want you to stop by after work for a drink, ask yourself if that is really the best use of your time. In 50 years you probably won’t even remember their names. But hopefully your children will never forget yours.
When you are watching the game on TV and your child asks you a question, remember, you are a father before you are a fan.
When you are trying to catch up with maintaining your house, and your young son wants to ‘help’, don’t forget you are his father and he needs to learn from you.
When your daughter asks you to take her to the mall, take her. Treat her like a princess…but don’t buy her everything. Remember, you’re her father who teaches her how a real man is supposed to behave.
When your child needs a hug, or a smile, or a stare-down, remember, you’re their father…s/he learns from you.
When you don’t live with your children, at least live for your children. After all, you are their father and they need you.
Never forget to be around for the milestones. Is an extra hour at work really more important than your child’s first band concert?”
Never forget to discipline your kids when they need it. Be firm but do not yell or shake!
Never forget to ask them how they are doing, at school, with friends, with their siblings, etc. Talk with them--not at them. They love you and love talking with you.
Never forget to be respectful to their mother and to be a partner to her, especially for your kids’ needs.
Never forget that neither you, nor your children are perfect. Be patient, loving and kind. They will grow up to be like that too.
Never forget that they are not you. Let them be the person they are, but guide them as their father.
