In many segments of society, people grow up without ever knowing their fathers. This is unfortunate because fathers should play as important a role in raising their children as mothers. A father is the model of a man for his daughter and she will choose a man who is like him. A father is the model for his son as well. Fortunately, there is a trend for fathers to be more active in their children's lives. 58 Poems about Fathers and Sons and Daughters 1. Silent, Strong Dad He never looks for praises.

Everyone behaves differently in a relationship, and it can often be difficult to attribute certain characteristics to life I have personally found that strong family ties inspire a unique kind of relationship conduct that extends past the family circle. There’s something special about being with a family When the going gets tough, he won’t get guy who is very close to his family understands commitment at a deeper level. If you undergo hardship in your relationship, he isn’t one to just call it quits and understands that relationships aren’t always easy because he has continued to maintain a strong one with his family throughout his whole life. He knows how to compromise, and sees the bigger He’s supportive of you and what you love, even if he doesn’t enjoy it close to one’s family means attending loads of soccer games, family reunions, dance recitals, graduations and weddings you may not necessarily want to be was always expected of him that he supports and appreciates things that are important to the people he loves. That’s something a family guy carries on with His mom taught him how to respect is a learned trait. A man that loves, listens to and respects his mother for the strong and caring woman that she is, will treat the women in his life will carry those positive values that his mother continues to instill inside of him into his future He loves to spend time with your family, family people make a good match for this reason. If you value time with your family and would sometimes rather spend a night out with your parents than with a bunch of friends, it’s nice to be with someone who understands that and also enjoys will take on dorky family events and celebrations like a complete champ, and you’ll love him for He’s good with everyone wants children, and I understand that. However, being comfortable and playful with children is a positive trait for more reasons than just the prospect of future are innocent and yet complex little humans. Being good with kids means having patience, creativity, kindness and a good bit of kid still left in your heart. It’s good to have a man like He keeps his place a lot of importance around doing what you say you are going to do. If you said you’d be at your little sister’s gymnastics meet, you sure as hell better be you said you would come home for Christmas, you couldn’t even think about backing out. A family man doesn’t make promises he can’t keep, and he also commits to the ones that he does You get to have a second is nothing like forming a strong bond with another family. Family love is a special kind of love, and if you are lucky enough to experience that outside of your own family, it is quite the gift. He will want to welcome you in, and include you in that very important aspect of his He’s appreciative of you and your your family means appreciating them and appreciating the value of the relationships you have created through that easier for him to value other people and what they bring to his life because he’s had the same group of awesome people bringing wonderful things to him since has seen the grave effects his human relationships have had on his life, and therefore he values all of his friendships and relationships9. He’s family who really loves you, will make you feel special and incredible for who you are. If your family believes in you, often you do too. Confidence levels obviously vary extensively, but generally if a man has a really close relationship with his family, he has been raised to have a high level of self-worth and to believe in reflects very positively on a relationship, and will make an enormous difference in the He trusts and betrayal are complex situations that often start in the family. Prior relationship infidelities can also ruin a man’s ability to trust a in my personal experience, I have found that men who have had families that have been there for them throughout their whole lives, have an easier time trusting other people in general. He believes in the larger picture and depth of your relationship, and trusts that you respect him the way he respects He’s a ton of around a bunch of family all of the time often means a wild array of funny stories and picking on each other. Guys from strong families know how to laugh at themselves and make others laugh as are happy with anything, from a raging night of board games to drunken cook-out He’s good at communicating with talk, and communication is one of the strongest qualities of a good and close family. A man who comes from that kind of environment knows how to voice his opinions and feelings to you with effective been sharing his thoughts his whole life. Communicating with you during times of duress, or even on a day-to-day basis, is something that comes naturally for He knows how to be a aren’t all about romanticism and passion. Often the entire foundation of a relationship is a strong friendship, and that is also the foundation of a strong is about listening, laughing and making the best of the time that you have with each other. Friends and families improvise, and have fun doing the most simple of tasks make inside jokes, set up forts in the living room and make up ridiculous games for long car rides together. A family-guy knows how to be your best friend and also your romantic He’s a lover at is something you learn through the ways it was expressed to you. A man who loves his family, was loved by his family, and will one day love the family he creates as his makes time for friends, appreciates kindness shown to him and knows how to love in a committed way. He says he’s sorry, and he know knows how to laugh. He has walked with his grandma on his arm. He has let his little cousins ride on his buys his mom flowers on Mother’s Day, and keeps the trinkets and ties his dad has handed down to him. He knows to hug everyone goodbye at a family event and has probably played many games of hide-and-seek long after becoming an if a man starts to tell you he is really close with his family, keep your eye on the prize, ladies. The prevailing framework with which dads approach their role in the family is as an equal partnership with their wife. Dads view their role as that of a team player with shared responsibility with their wife rather than split responsibility. Instead of taking sole ownership for the financial support of the family, many dads share this role with their wife. In return, they play active roles in caring for the children and completing other domestic duties. In this shared responsibility fathering role, dads, as well as moms, deal with the daily frustrations of getting children ready to leave and the hassles of shuttling them to their activities. Even very traditional dads tend to have less of a split-responsibility partnership, and more of a shared-responsibility partnership. These dads complete a variety of domestic duties and reject conventional divisions of household labor. Traditional dads see completing domestic duties as one of the best ways to love their wife sacrificially. Other dads see completing domestic duties as just a natural extension of having a household or the only way tasks will be done the way that they like them. Most dads will take at least some responsibility for childcare and cleaning the house while their wife will often contribute to the family financially and do chores such as mowing the lawn. Jake explains this approach by sharing, “We’re a team, my wife and I. There’s nothing that I can’t do or won’t do for the kids and vice versa. She does everything from, you know, dog care to, you know, working outside, working in the yard. We don’t have one task that’s just mine. We don’t have one task that’s just hers…So, our family’s important and we’re together… We’re doing it as a team together.” This team approach is so prevalent in dads; most children are spending healthy amounts of time and developing meaningful relationships with both their moms and their dads. Dads have a stronger connection with their children as a positive outcome from this shared-responsibility arrangement. Most dads hold significant responsibility in caring for the daily needs of their children. The overwhelming majority prioritize their activities in order to maximize time with their families. As a result of the large amount of time dads are spending with their children, they experience a high level of emotional warmth in the relationships they have with their children. When both parents work and the dad’s job begins later than the mom’s job, dads typically shoulder the entire responsibility for getting children ready in the mornings. Even dads with an early morning commute are usually involved with the children’s morning routines. They are also every bit as engaged in bedtime routines as they are in getting the kids ready in the mornings. Many dads use bedtime as an opportunity to intentionally build their relationship with their children. In addition, most dads anticipate the time they will get with their families on the weekends. Some dads, such as Joseph, integrate time with their children with their chores. “More often than not, it’s all together, and it’s a lot of fun. So sun up to sun down, we use that time. We might run a lot of shopping errands…sometimes groceries, sometimes other things. Just a lot of running around, but we do it together… We try to throw in a store that we know they like to look at, a toy store… to do yard work, maybe the kids will come outside, and they’ll play in the swing or they’ll ride their bike and I take breaks and help them with that and we laugh.” Dads will do anything for their kids. Most dads rate themselves highly as fathers because of their heavy level of involvement with their children. Not only are dads succeeding as fathers in holding an integral part of their children’s daily life, but they also tend to rate themselves highly on the emotional affirmation they provide for their kids. Dads have an especially strong sense that the way they interact with their girls and the example they set in marriage will shape their daughters’ future interactions with potential romantic partners. The negative outcome of parents sharing household responsibilities rather than splitting them is that the dual involvement can often lead to conflict between husband and wife concerning the best way for tasks to be accomplished. Dads say that the lack of clear-cut gender roles creates disagreements as it forces families to tediously coordinate every aspect of household responsibilities. Disagreements are unequivocally dads’ least favorite part of being a husband. Dads especially dread fighting over different parenting approaches. They have strong aversions and responses to disagreements with their wife. Family Challenges Dads tend to feel better prepared to meet the logistical needs that their children have than they do to meet the emotional needs of their wife, especially when their kids are younger. A very prevalent duty husbands discuss is listening to their wife, but this duty is often referred to with a negative tone. Dads recognize this as critical to being a good husband, but many do not particularly relish the task. Dads complain about having to hear the same facts multiple times and having to just listen rather than helping their wife find a solution. Yet even when they don’t enjoy the task, dads see it as their duty to listen to their wife daily, and even more when she’s processing stressful circumstances. Most dads feel like they are failing to meet their wife’s emotional needs. This is often related to the frustrations they have in actively listening to their wife. Some dads say they lack the patience to be consistently engaged emotionally. Others say that they already know what she’s going to say so they get distracted. For many dads, finding time alone with their wife is the biggest barrier to being emotionally supportive. These dads are not insensitive to their wife’s needs, but they are struggling to meet them because providing emotional support does not come naturally for them. Dads, especially those with younger children, have an easier time meeting the logistical needs that their kids present. They may get frustrated with their kids constantly interfering with their sleep, but they are usually able to muster the physical resources to take care of what their children need without feeling as personally drained. Ryan explains how easily he handles even the less pleasant tasks of parenting, especially in the light of the joy he finds in the role. “I’m just tickled to death to be a father and to have these kids…I’m just loving every second of it. And I guess that’s the answer to what is my favorite part?’ Everything. From dirty diapers to giving them baths, to getting them dressed, to watching them learn, to the questions. My daughter is three now and every second is a question…I love singing my daughter to sleep, putting her to bed and cuddling with her, brushing her hair, talking about her day… I really love every single second… There really is no least favorite part, even the inconvenience of just having to leave work a little early to pick the kids up at daycare if they just got a whooping cough… that really rolls off my back, like water off a duck… There’s no pity for myself anywhere and it’s all just like I’m so happy that I get the opportunity to be the guy that comforts my daughter when she’s sick, cleans up after the kids, teaches her how to ride a bike.” Feedback In stark contrast to the devotion with which Ryan approaches even changing diapers and cleaning up after the kids, he says, “I probably don’t put near the energy into being a husband, unfortunately, that I do into being a father.” This preference for the role of dad above the role of husband is common, but what causes it? Ryan, who adores his children, and is idolized by them, says that some days it seems like his wife is always “complaining and creating issues,” so although he realizes his life is “richer, more rewarding, and more enjoyable” with his family, sometimes he thinks that it would be easier if he had his own apartment and could come home to relax in peace. With the multitude of decisions couples must make together and the myriad of expectations that many women have for their partner, the relationship between dad and mom is often fraught with conflict. Parents care so deeply about the well-being of their children, but all too often do not agree on the best path to ensure a secure future for them. This almost inevitably causes disagreements to ensue. These negative interactions can often strain a marriage. Children, on the other hand, have a tendency to be adoring of their dad, which can meet a very deep need for him. Cameron gives an example of this in sharing, “My favorite part about being a father is… when I see my children after a long day at work and they run and hug me and say, Daddy, I miss you, I love you.’ And it’s pretty much an everyday thing. And then one of the things that I notice that…they work hard to please me and make me happy. And that’s something that I love about them…when they play sports…when they’re dancing… they really want me to be happy and proud of them…that’s the best part of being a father… I don’t care how long my day is, I don’t care what I’m doing, when I see my children and they tell me they love me and they hold me, it makes me feel good.” Receiving positive feedback from their children while being critiqued by their wife sets the stage for many men to prioritize their relationships with their children above the relationship they have with their wife. Most dads think that they are doing a pretty good job as a father, certainly better than they are doing as a husband. Part of this difference between the roles of husband and father comes from the great enjoyment the men find in being a dad. As a result, many men invest more heavily into their role as a dad. Although this is common, it is certainly not universal. For some dads, having kids is their favorite part about being a husband. For other dads, though, their favorite part about being a husband is being alone with their wife, so they are excited for the kids to grow up. Either way, there is consensus among all dads that for the present, having kids and being a family is a “beautiful thing.” Accomplishment vs. Enjoyment Partially as a result of the more complicated relationship men share with their wife, many have a deep sense of accomplishment in successfully maintaining their marriage. In fact, a commonly shared favorite aspect of being a husband is the commitment and maturity that marriage requires of them. They appreciate being required to mature and be committed because this makes them a better person and they are very proud of the relationship they have with just one woman. One dad said that his favorite part of being married is knowing that he’s a part of God’s purpose. Others say that the biggest challenge of being a husband is beating the statistics to keep their family together. Very honestly, several dads admit that the way marriage forces them to be less self-centered is simultaneously their favorite and least favorite part. Jamell crystallizes the sense of accomplishment he feels in being a husband. “I love being married. I love being with one woman… It gives me a sense of self-importance, self-value to be with one person and to be able to commit with one person, when there’s so much out there, so many temptations that humans are confronted with… So to be able to turn away from that life, to be with one person for the betterment of two people, I love the fact. That keeps me happy, with knowing that I made the good decision to get married.” In contrast to the accomplishment dads feel in being a husband, they tend to find deep enjoyment and fulfillment from being a dad. When dads are talking about their favorite aspects of being a father, they get the biggest smile on their face. Several say that “everything” is their favorite part of being a dad. Dads delight in being with their kids and watching them grow. They find a special kind of satisfaction in helping their children master new qualities and skills. The time dads share with their children is precious to them. Most dads do not share a least favorite part of fathering. Among the few who actually shared, their least favorite is the same as their favorite, watching their kids grow up. While some of the greatest enjoyment in being a father comes from helping their kids discover the world and successfully master new skills, this same process can also be heartbreaking as dads realize how quickly their children are growing. Perhaps William best sums up what so many dads feel when considering their roles of husband and father. “Favorite part about being a husband is my family. I think if I was a husband without kids, that would be pretty challenging. I do love my wife, don’t get me wrong, but I definitely appreciate my family, kids, the whole family life.” “My father is a man like no other. He gave me life, nurtured me, taught me, hugged me, dressed me, kissed me, shouted at me, but most importantly he loved me unconditionally.” – AnonymousOver the years I’ve come to realize just how much my dad has done for me and I’m extremely grateful for him.
