Fathers Day

Father's day soon so I figured I'd look back at when my kids were home ..I guess I was strict. We laughed a lot and had fun and I didn't consider myself strict. It was more to keep them safe. When I said not to do somerhing I meant it. I had long hair and was not shy about telling other people to stay out of our business and i applauded my kids to the point of embarrassing them. I suppose I should have gone on those fishing and hunting trips i was asked to join but since my wife worked I was the caregiver ..i am not apologizing for how I raised them .i didn't know anything about kids so I did what I did. I never liked the feeling that it embarrassed them when my wife or I cheered loudly for them and I refuse to apologize for them mistaking my keeping them safe as BEING TOO STRICT. They survived and became adults. Maybe the only example they took away from me is what they don't want to do. I'm human and not a expert so fire me or love me. I think I was a good dad and I still embarrass them but now they can protect themselves. Fair warning ....anyone ever hurts anyone in my family? They better hope the police get to them before I do ..yep I'm a father ..happy father's day to the rest of you dads
