Nothing better in the world.
Best part. Watching your kids grow up.
Worst part: Watching your kids grow up.
Teenagers aren't too fun though.
How do you argue with infinate knowledge?

There are no bad parts! My life actually has some worth since my son was born. He is the only thing that keeps me going. I love being a dad and I recommend it to those who wish to put in the energy, discipline, and silly moments to reap the benefits of fatherhood. But, if you're not going to do the work it takes, then don't bother having children. Kids need both parents to grow up stable and smart.

Yes, being a Dad is great!! It totally changes you. It is mind blowing to watch another human being totally depend on you for everything. You no longer have that leisure time, when you can get away and "Kick" it. Their are so many changes you will go through and learn along the way. It will be just like any other new situation, you will adapt. It can be tiresome, exhausting, and make your chest stick out in "Pride". Just remember this: CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE. So, knowing this, always say Good and Kind things to your child. Whatever you call them, that is what they become or act like. I know these things from experience.

All I ever wanted to be was a dad & it's great!!!!!!The bad parts are worrying about your kids because this world is crazy.The good parts are too many to list & far out weight the bad.The only way you will ever experience true unconditional love is if you are a parent.Kids are a blessing & I've been truely blessed.

Being a father is the highpoint of my life so far. Far better than I thought it could be. Good parts are teaching your child the right way, watching him grow. Bad part, watching your two year old dump your brand new Nokia in the toilet.

The part that sucks is when you want to hang out as a family and go do something fun and your wife say that she'd rather bring the kids to her parents house.

i know this was a ? for dad - but one of the best parts of being a mother is watching my daughter with my dad- and you know what suddenly it gives you such a great insight and even more love for your own parents- such wonderful answers by the dads : )

I don't think there are any bad parts, there are some not so fun parts, but none that you regret.
