38 - this is because you are a REAL father. Some parents use their children for attention. Years ago after I was no longer playing, I coached football and we had a meeting with all parents. I told them I understood that these were THEIR children but that this team was for all of the kids and if the parents got out of line they had a choice of being banned from games or their child would be removed from the team.
We never had a problem on our team but there were definitely some assholes when we played others. We won our “Super Bowl” three years in a row and definitely didn’t have the most talented players, but they all cared MUCH more about the after game snack and treats - 😂
You sound like a legit good dad man. You put YOUR needs behind those of your children. It’s disgusting to see parents who live vicariously through their kids
thanks for that it means a lot. I am honoured to be my two kids father I really am. i only want to ensure they nevr go down the road I went and live happy lives.
A great John Lennon story
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
I can shoe horn that in as my two went to Dovedale School where Lennon and George Harrison went to school!
