Know your own father

Advantages of unstructured, “hanging-out” time with children

ESCHEW BEING A SUBSTITUTE MOTHER
If a child already has a perfectly good mother, there is no need for a less qualified person to be a mother substitute.
“Mister Mom” is insulting to women and demeaning to men
What the child needs is an equally good father

new dad? What impact did your birth have on him? What is the legacy you carry from your
father? What you don’t know about your own
fathering, you will be destined to repeat or ignore?
