« An essay from Jen B of Jen and Tonic |
Main
| Growing Into It »
The following entry was written for Mommybloggers.com by our friend Pete of Chocolate Makes It Better and Dadcentric.
Jenny, Meghan and Jenn have been nice enough to ask me to contribute to their ever growing list of daddy bloggers giving their persectives on fatherhood for fathers day.
Fathers day in Australia isn't until September so I thought, instead of talking about my dad, I might write about what being a dad means to me.
For me, being a dad is about a lot of different things. It's about being scared but confident, authoritative but relaxed and happy and sad all at the same time.
It's a cavalcade of emotions and feelings that starts at one spectrum and can turn 180 degrees in an instant. It's about keeping your wits about you and the negatives aspects of life away from you. All in all it's a bloody hard job!
I get the most out of being a dad when I get to 'just spend time with my kids'. No rollercoaster's or cricket games, just sitting in our lounge room playing with a cardboard box, pretending it's a car or train. That's when I really see my children prosper and develop and this is when I get the most enjoyment.
I sometimes love to just sit and wonder about all the things my kids will do and think. Will they grow up happy and life a long healthy life?
Will they get taken away from me by a horrible accident?
Will they get along, or will they fight?
Will they be like me?
It's at the point of the last questions that I start to think"Oh my fucking god I hope not!"
To me, being a dad is about enjoying your children, getting pleasure from a backwards glance or a tiny foot. It's about watching your children grow and being amazed at the fact that for a short period of their life, all they know is you.
That's what being a dad is all about to me.

My husband is a SAHD and he loves it!
I, too, love hearing from dads who LOVE being dads. :)
Thanks for sharing!
