Kudos to all the dads in here.
I read these posts and realize that while I love kids, being a dad is probably not for me (marriage included).
Nobody is born ready, I've never held someone else's kid or even watched someone's kid until I had my very own. Real talk. You just learn on the fly.
Having a kid makes me wish everyone could experience this joy.
This is real
My dad was never in my life
But I knew I didn't want my kids to experience the same things I had growing up
Like real talk my kids are waaaaaay sheltered compared to me
I made myself a syrup sandwich the other day
My kids looked at me like I was crazy
There's things the never had to experience
And I'm glad
Considering I had no father to show me the right way
I'm tooting my own horn and saying I'm a damn good father
And it kills me when these bum *** dudes make us look bad
i couldn't imagine not being in my kids life
Matter of fact I couldn't imagine just being able to see my kids on weekends or whatever
Being a father is a thankless job
But I swear I love it more than anything
Not sure if I want more though
