A father is a real man. Someone who is there through the good and the bad. When you mess up and when you succeed. He loves you unconditionally and not on the weekends, holidays or during the summer months (part time). Anyone can be a dad but it does take a real man to be a father.

The word Father means, he helped my mother create me. The word dad means someone who loves you, cares for you, does thinks for you with out thinking twice. Trust me I have two men in my life and I can only call one dad. My dad is the one who has always been there for me when needed. The othe one I consider a father, a biological sperm donor.

Hi:
When he loves his wife and kids and is there for them.
Does his duty to both home, community and country.
Encourages rather then put down expect when it needed.
Listen with both a open mind and heart.
Is well like by almost all the people and honored.
Follows God and stands for what is right, moral and just.
Discipline his kids when needed and always open his arm to welcome them back and forgive them of the wrong they did.
Is forgiving of faults and tries to find the good in others and help them to find it.
Knows when to let go of the kids when they be adults, but always hold them in his heart and thoughts.
Leads by example and deeds.
Admit his mistakes and shortcomings and take action to correct them.
Willing to learn and adapted to new things but never against the good principles of right and wrong and will stand for them.
That is what is think is a good father Do you?

A father is not simply the biological sperm donor. He is someone who is there, for PTA meetings, sports and other child developing events and encounters, school supplies, health issues, learning problems, clothing, entertainment, encouragement, emotional support, discipline and the one ingredient that participation in all of those above shows; LOVE!

A father to me, is someone that is there for a child. It does not matter if they are bonded by blood, family court, or feelings of trust and compainionship. A father is someone who cares for a child so much that he will do anything for them. A father loves, listens, and shares.

a father contributes sperm to make a child. A DAD, loves you supports you and is there for you. He does things with you, spares some time with you and includes you in things.

A man is not a father unless he is willing to spend as much quality time with his children as possible. He must be there for them, otherwise, what good is he?

A male figure in your life who cares, loves and provides for you! Anyone can be a sperm donor but it takes a REAL man to be father!

a father can be a loving person to help you grow you can talk to him and lean on him till you are grown. to many aren't fathers yes they give you life but that is where it ends.
