Make no mistake, regardless of the pride, joy and amazement that being a Father can offer, the one certainty all Dads share is — it’s a job!

As Fathers, we do the best for our children that we can.

We want to protect them; give them all the opportunities and resources we didn’t get from our Dads.

We don’t always get it right, but as men Goddamit, we’re determined to CRUSH THIS ROLE!

The irony of course is we never really know if we are doing a good job. We have no yardstick for success as every child is different, so there really is no proven play book to go by.

Because we believe we must be tough, strong and have every answer for our children, men would never think to do the most obvious thing to gauge how they’re doing as Dads — ASK OUR KIDS WHAT THEY THINK.

So, for this this episode, I opened the proverbial Pandora’s Box and did just that — I talk my children about how they feel I am doing as a Dad.

I will say the talk surprised me and might just surprise you too!

2b:T49a,If you’ve been paying attention to the social trends, you probably have some inkling that boys and men are struggling, in the U.S. and across the globe. Males are much more likely than females to die by suicide. This disparity may be due, in part, to the greater reluctance among males to seek mental health treatment and internalized expectations around “masculine behavior.” Men are also struggling physically. Men account for close to three out of every four “deaths of despair” — suicide and drug overdoses. Men feel the need to fall into a false narrative of what 'strength' is. Men are facing a crisis in society due to economic struggles, loneliness, and lack of role models, and their mental health issues and challenges should be addressed with compassion and understanding rather than blame, as they face higher rates of addiction, incarceration, and suicide compared to women. On this show, we are having the conversation. We are talking about the hardships that exist within manhood, but also the joy and pride that can come out of it too. Nothing is off limits, and e

WHAT OUR KIDS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HOW WE'RE DOING AS DADS.
