Fathers

Blog 10

I want you to think about your childhood and what kind of father figure you had. Did you have a father figure in the home? Fathers have such a big impact on their children. The world tends put fathers down by saying that they are stupid. For example, if you were to go onto Disney channel and watch some of those shows the husband is always being torn done they parents normally don’t agree on things. Studies have actually shown that fathers have a big influence on their daughter’s growth. Mothers and fathers tend to teach their kids different things, mothers might teach their kids how to be kind and loving where a dad might teach his children to work hard and when someone is mean to them he teaches them that they need to stand up for themselves. One that I hear dads tell their little boys quite often “boys is don’t cry.” Something my father taught me was to work hard. He taught us that work comes before play. That is something I think that it is very important and lots of kids are losing their willingness to work. They just expect everyone to do everything for them. Dads pick up their kids and help them stand back on their feet. I remember growing up when my dad would say “I’m so proud of you” It was just so meaningful to me that my dad would say that to me I remember feeling so accomplished once he would tell me how proud he was. Fathers also have such a big impact on their sons. A good father role model will teach them to work hard and the proper way to treat a woman. There have actually been studies that show girls tend to marry people who are like their fathers.

 Some People don’t have the opportunity to have a father in the home, so it is very important that some another man step in whether it be an uncle or grandpa. That will help a lot more than it would without any man for a young boy to look up to. If they just turned to the television instead of an actual person that they look up to, they might start to think that it is okay cheat on their future wife. 

Think of what a father means to you. A father to me is someone I can turn to when times get hard. Someone I can turn to and he will listen to what I have to say and gives me his two senses. People have different thoughts on how a father should act in the home. Some kids grow up with their mom working out of the home and their dad is the stay at home parents. Some kids are not very close to their dad they might not have a good connection. Lots of people think that kids that grew up without a father figure in the home won’t be a very good dad that is not necessarily true my dad grew up without a father in his home one of his oldest brothers was a fatherly figure to him, and I think that he did a great job raising my siblings and I. I think my dad has done a great job with being a father with a very little example in front of him. It is a common thing for people to not want kids because lots of people think that it will ruin their fun adventures lives. There was a study Dave Urbanskiit says that “the men asked, more than 8 in 10 replied that they’ve always wanted to be fathers of think they’d like to be fathers someday.”
