Is your father the best or the worst, or somewhere in between? Do you have any compliments or complaints?

Question

How would you describe an ideal father? What is the most important thing for new fathers to keep in mind?

Answer 1

My father rocked. He taught me well. He made me face consequences instead of raising his hand to me. He taught me to do the right thing. He never cleaned up any of my mistakes, but he taught me to face them and how to make it right.

He hurt with me, he rejoiced with me and he listened to me. He could sit and talk with me for hours. He genuinely wanted my company. He had a wicked sense of humor. He was happy to go to work but even happier to come home.

I miss him so much. IT's been 5 years since his death and on THIS father's day, when my husband reached for his cell phone to call his Dad, I instinctively reached for mine to call my Dad.

New Fathers: You will shape your son's attitude towards women. You will shape your daughter's expectations on how she is treated. Treat your wife with respect, dignity and love. Lead your family.

Answer 2

I would say in between. An ideal father would be one who understands his children well. Give them everything they need. A comfortable home to live. Always support them and he should be able to accept that his children would be different from what he used to be when he was a child. he must give his children more importance rather than his job or promotion.. Always be partial. Not to make one child his favorite and neglect the other. He should also help her wife and not fight with her.unnecessarily

Answer 3

I had a wonderful father. Growing up I didn't always think my father knew best or that he always knew what he was talking about. Kids! But as I got older, I realized my father was a very wise man. He never judged my siblings and I when we did wrong and he always forgave us.
Always be understanding to your child and never judge them. Let them know that your love for them is unconditional and no matter what, they can always come to you and that you will stop what you're doing and be there for them.

Answer 4

My dad was the best (not perfect) - missed very much.

Ideal dad - Teach your child values by example, pay attention to them and just do YOUR best, DON'T be their best friend (they will have plenty of those, but only 1 dad), discipline, they will come to appreciate all your effort when they are grown up.
