Being the Best Dad

I liked this, it's something I need to keep in mind, maybe you need to as well.

Being the Best Dad

Being the best dad that you can be does not necessarily mean that you have to make a lot of money or that you have to be a perfect father. What it does mean is that you should give the best effort that you possibly can to make sure that you are there for your children so that they know they can rely on you no matter what the situation may be.

Too many dads get caught up in the idea that making money is their number one priority in life. Many dads will believe that this represents fatherhood and that they are somehow less of a parent if they are not making a lot of money. But, making money is only one way that you can contribute to your child's life.

Sometimes just being a person that they can turn to is more than enough. Or it might mean attending their sports games or their dance recitals and cheering them on no matter how well they do in competition.

No matter what you might have been conditioned to feel, being a parent to your child does not depend on your ability to make money only. It depends on your ability to make your children the number one priority in your life. And when you can honestly say that this is the truth, then you are being the best parent that you can be.

Being a dad means spending good quality time with your children first and foremost. This is what they will remember of you as they grow up, not the size of your bank account.
