be a good dad

One day when I have kids and a family…

Give them: Confidence. Skills. Awareness. Integrity. Generosity.

Adapt. Challenge. Be an example to them. Seek their advice.

Write down lists of why they make me proud I am their dad and how they bring me joy

My two sons are 5 years and the other 14 months. I know I’m not doing everythin right as a dad but I hope in the end they grow up to become honest men of integrity.

As a new parent, im still learning whats what.

I know myself, i know my 2 month old son, and im sure i could have been doing better than i am. Everything is fine, but my nerves are shot.

My ears are tuned to his voice, and i hear him no matter what.
I think i may have a nervous breakdown becuase im cautious(very) of his well-being.

Im driving myself crazy, which isnt good for either of us.
I know i sound like a basket case, but beleive me, im maybe already past that.

I want to be a good father … but im screwing up.

Brian is most important to me.

One of my biggest joys in life is being a father. At the end of my life, I would hope to be seen as a good dad.

Took Megan to get her passport photo taken and she would not sit down or still for any longer than 3 seconds, let alone sitting down and looking at the camera.

We have a little screaming and some NO NO NO NO NO and then just before the picture flashes she sits down and looks at the screen and has a normal face. Whaooo victory :)

Shes 19 months now, but I think this picture makes he look like a proper little girl.

I don’t have a child yet, but one is on the way and it’s that time when you sit down look at yourself and think, “Sh*t, am I really responsible/mature/selfless enough to look after another human being?” Guess time will tell.

Have this picture and thought it was cute.

Last night we finally managed to get a proper ponytail in her hair, whaooo.

She’s growing 2 fast. I wish she would slow down I’m enjoying this 2 much. I will have to convince my partner it’s time to have another soon :)

She has this great way of shouting “Daaaa Daaaaa” when I’m out off the room soo cute lol.

She also bounces on my head when I’m sleeping just because thats what tigger would do.

I suppose this is a item that never ends.

I really do think I’m a good Dad, my Daughter is called Megan and is 15 months Old.

Been a dad is the best thing ever.

It’s hard to put into words the feelings when she runs up and gives you a real cuddle, not the I’m just cuddling because I should ones, a real squeezing you hard cuddle.

There is nothing in the world that compares to the feeling of either of my children waking up and crawling into bed with me in the morning. I melt and forget about all that is expected of being a man and become human in that moment. I feel alive. And it helps me when I feel overwhelmed and want to strike out at them when my children don’t do what I want them to (which is almost always…) Being a single parent is tough but the rewards far outwiegh the tears…
