I think there’s a point in most people’s lives though where they look up to their leading figure in life - be it father; mother; caregiver; whatever - and realise that they’re not perfect and they’re just as prone to making daft mistakes as anyone.
It was a sobering moment for me - I suppose it just makes you realise that they’re just another person trying to make the best in life and sometimes shit just goes sideways.
I mean, twenty years later I still feel like I’ve got my shit held together by thin string and willpower - adulting is hard work 😂
I just made “Father of the Year” by enforcing a time limit on my 12 yo playing with his friends on the computer, so his younger brother could play, and now he’s in his room in tears. Yeah, adulting sucks sometimes.
Yeah refereeing is hard too. Sometimes I want to yeet the controller out the window so nobody plays and solve the fairness problem that way… but then I’d have to listen to both of them bleat on about it!
Nah. I don’t give a shit about anything else you do or have done, you being a good dad to your kid negates all that shit.
Yeah fingers crossed!
