Fatherhood
Many people say that being a mother is not an easy task. Well, being a father is not a breeze either. The family relies on the father for security, support and strength, and for this, a father must always be strong for his family. Fatherhood is not a responsibility; it is a journey. Fathers learn things as they go along fatherhood which they can pass to their children in forms of father’s advice, discipline, and being a role model.
Building a deep relationship with the children is often a little hard for fathers to do as compared to mothers. Being at work most of the time to earn money so that he can financially support the family, the father often spends less time with his children. Therefore, he has lesser chance to get to know the personalities of his children and establish a deeper emotional bond with them. Most of the time, fathers tend to make the mistake of overdoing things in an attempt to win the love of their kids.
One of the things many fathers tend to overdo is trying to become their child’s hero. They try to do things that are usually out of their capabilities, promising things to their children just to make them happy even though it is difficult to keep them, and being overly protective.
