Answer 1

A good father will be there for his child, will spend quality time with his child , will love his child no matter what. A good father will support his child in every thing they do. A good father will put the child's needs before his very own. A good father will help his child when they are feeling low. A good father will make sure his kids have food to eat, a place to sleep, and clothes to wear. A good father would want nothing but the best for his kids. A good father will love is child if he or she were to go gay. A good father will be a friend and will never put his child down.

Answer 2

My opinion is that the Bible has the best 'definition' of what makes a successful, effective father. I'll let the following on-line articles give the details:

Answer 3

My boyfriend is an example of a good father and a good man. We have been together for 2 years.

He has a 16 year old daughter who he has raised by himself for the past 15 years.

I have a 3 year old daughter whose father decided that he didn't want anything to do with me or her when she was just a baby. My boyfriend stepped up and became the father that she never had. He is the only father she has ever known. I know he is not her birth father, but he really is her daddy.

Answer 4

A man who loves his children. A father Who respects his children and Man who is brave enough to jump through a ring of fire to save his baby is a good example of a real father. Be sure that your children have one, I dont have one and even though i turned out slightly ok some people dont, My dad died when i was 10 and i didnt know him. And Please if your going to give your babies a step dad make sure that your kids actually like them otherwise...Your children wont wanna be around long. Goodluck

Answer 5

A good father is someone who teaches his children morals. He takes the time to encourage his kids to be good citizens. He participates in their lives, not merely watches from the sidelines. A good father understands his children will fail and be there to help them up, dust them off and encourage them to try again. Finally, a good father sets a good example by his actions not just his words. He doesn't swear, drink all the time, abuse his wife or children and most of all is there for them. Children are fragile and must be treated that way, They are also mold able and the way they turn out is up to the parents. Both of my parents are deceased and I miss them dearly. I love you mom and dad.

Answer 6

My finace is a great father to my son. My son is a few months old, and he gives the baby tons of love. He takes care of the baby, while i'm at work cos he works at home. He bonds a lot by giving my son baths, feeding,playing, ect.
He is very kind, and loveing.

A good father must show love to a child, bond with the child, and be responsible around him. The hubby shouldnt smoke around the baby, be drunk around the baby, aviod the baby, or abuse the baby, and making sure the child is always clean, and keeping up in school.
I know children who wont take showers, cos therer parents never taught them that they needed to, now they are really groossss.

Answer 7

Every Man is has different way of being good father..

Good father or best dad.. Is when you need them they are there for you and when you are sick they are the ones who pick u up from school and give you medication or wake you up in mid-of the night to take medication. Bring food to the table.. and Working a late shift still mange to take they kids to school and take in-law to the doctor office the next day. Support the whole family.. Mange to take care of the household whiling being tired from work the night before. Mange to have family time and mange to gain a lot of energy while knowing they are tired They would alway support whatever the kids wanted to do or explain about life. while growing up.. Would be first person to ran to if there was boys problem or when he your first guy friend in your life..( Your dad is the first guy you kiss and the first guy you hug and the first guy you talk to about sports.)


Every Dad has own way of caring they own kids..
Until the time where the mother is expecting is when man know they are taking up more responsible of having family...
Every Dad is different.. In way.because i think my dad.. Is the best i can every get in life...
My dad have give up a lot for me and had support me on things i have done... and I still learn from what he does.. in life..

SOme how every father is different then other father in this world.. it depend on how they are raise and they knowledge in things... and how they are taught in life. and how they grow up..

I love my Dad.. and hopeful He going to be grandfather soon... and he is excited..to plan to spoiled the grandkid.(if he dear) With my mother...being strict...

Answer 8

Am I a good father? I dont know for sure. I have 4 great kids. I know I love them unconditionally. Support them financially, emotionally, mentally and every way I can possibly think of. I know they are in my thoughts always. I know the thought of losing a child is perhaps more than I could stand. I know that when I watch them perform in a play or play sports or do well in school how proud I am of them. But am I a good father? I guess the proof is in the pudding. What a great question. Thanks for thought the provoking.

Answer 9

Am i a good dad? I think so. How do i know? When I get home from work the kids come running with a big smile and a hug. My son tells me that he misses me when i go to work and I only work 8-5 not 60+ hours a week.

What makes me a good Dad? lots of things.

1) The most common phrase my kids hear me say is "I love you" I say it to them and their mother constantly

2) I play with them a lot

3) I treat them with respect (they're 2 and 4)

4) I I praise them

5) I discipline them

6) I talk to them

7) I listen to them

8) I pray with them

Probably some other stuff I don't realise I'm doing
