Ever wonder what it means to be a father? Having a child with a woman doesn’t mean a man is done with his part. It’s just the starting point of the journey called fatherhood. Being a father is to be involved in a child’s life even if the father is not married to the mother or a divorce happens. Remember a child needs their father as much as their mother.

A father represents a strong figure in a child’s life. Being a strong figure will keep a child safe and secure from the rest of the world. This is one of many responsibilities that a father has to do for their child. A safe environment will lead a child to a happy life. Other responsibilities include is to teach their child respect for others and show them how to respect the opposite gender when they are old enough. A child will also learn discipline as well as money behaviors from both parents.

A saying that has been passed through many generations is that Boys want to be like their fathers and girls grow up wanting to marry a guy similar to their fathers. Boys tend to treat their fathers as heroes and they will learn to raise their own kids in the same way. Girls will learn how to be treated by guys from the father figure in their lives.

How much a child will learn from their fathers depends on how much time they spend with them as well as if their fathers are a nice person or a mean person to them. Being a father is an adventure and can be the best part of a man’s life as well as the child’s life.

Why a Baseball Field Picture You Say

I finally found a picture for my blog header. It is a baseball field since that is where I planning on spending the first part of the summer at. My oldest son T is playing baseball. He is a good batter and a decent catcher / outfielder on the team he is on. He hasn’t played any games yet but he already has a battle scar from the baseball hitting him in the check. He is a little bit bruised but is just fine.

My other boy J is going to play baseball next month. His season is only four weeks long and is indoors with a soft baseball. He likes watching his brother play.

The twins, M and L, are just being two year olds and they are a hand full. They expect me to give them all of my attention especially when T is doing his homework in the evenings.

Between all four kids my day starts out at 6 AM and ends around 11 PM if I’m lucky. I’m doing this while trying to be a good husband to Busy Mom. Sometimes it is not as easy as it sounds and other times it is too easy. Yes I do work and it is sometimes stressful at work with deadlines and due dates.

That is why having date nights with your love one is a very important step in having a sane household. Else I would be pulling my hair out instead of cutting it all off like I do now. We try to have a date nigh at least once a month. It gives us a break from reality of having four kids.

Do you have date nights or something similar? Share your stories in the comments. Or feel free to use my ideas as well.

Welcome to my new blog.

I’ll start writing posts on my blog as soon as I get them out of my head and when I have some down time from being busy.  That is why I picked the blog name.
