I love that my hubby derives joy from hearing "Hey Daaaaaad!" yelled through the walls of our home. I love even more that 30 seconds after he arrives at the scene, I hear laughter from our kids and heavy foot falls coming back to me. I love that my kids ask me when he'll be home and get excited seeing his vehicle pull up to the house. I even love that, most times, they choose him over me for an activity director. However, last night when my son said, "Happy Father's Day" and told him he was the "best dad ever," Hubby responded by telling him it was easy to be a good dad because he had such great kids.
It was nice of him to say, but make no mistake World, THAT IS A LIE! Not that our children aren't great, they are, but only because of hard work, time, love, patience, and commitment that Hubby and I show them everyday. I don't mind if my children are delusional about this, but adults shouldn't be. Children are encouraged to be fantastic by committed parents (who after all that commitment, sometimes feel they should be "committed").
I guess what I was trying to say when this started is "Happy Father's Day" to my Hubby and all the Dad's out there who are giving
100%. You know who you are.
