Hug your child, fathers....
Dads are that species of humans who would move mountains for you but silently..he may not show you, or say it, but he does it in different other ways... bringing your favourite fruit next day- you had vaguely mentioned,and he noticed...Bringing your breakfast to your table as he knows you will otherwise be busy with work and wont eat on time..would spend money on your clothes even if he hasnt bought one in a long time.
Just the other day i was having this conversation with my friend who recently became a dad, jist was, man wont be best husband in the world, but man tries to be best father for his child always...
But I advice our generation of dads to be a friend and emotionally available men in your child's life..they need it like any other individual in the world.
They need your practical approach of life, advice and love.
Coz if you don't give them that in growing up years ...that starts affecting their adult life where they start searching it in friendships, relationships and work...that external validation and appreciation..lets face it we are social animals and require validation from closed ones even if we are "we dont care attitude " person.
I have seen my female friends getting into relationships/frienships to get that emotional anchor with even bare minimum care givers of partners...
And male friends who are either passive aggressive, or have anger issues or just spacing out in happy situation.
Earlier generation didn't have concept of openness and display of affection as that is what they have seen in their childhood..
But this generation is well aware of, informed...so give that 🫂 to your kid, give that love and be emotionally available male energy in your son's or daughter's life. Don't just show, speak it in words that you are proud of them ❤️ you are enough and you can do it and that you love them.
In growing up years start affirmations and giving them that love and affection, later on you might have time but he/she might have moved on long back:)
be that safety net he/she can fall back on..if your father wasnt like that, you be the one for your child...
"tu kar jo karna hai life me, me hu tere piche" is what they need.
Life is too short!for regrets! cheers!
