I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm just a pretty regular dad.
I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
The most challenging part of being a dad is self-restraint. So often your instinct is to teach and tell. I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them.
As a child, I didn't see my dad that much because he was always working at the restaurant. He became pretty jaded after working at the restaurant for so long.
When I'm home, I've got the kind of time that other dads who live there full time don't have. I can go and have lunch with my kids at school and that sort of thing.
I'm just constantly trying to be a good dad.
I have a Father's Day every day.
Being a father is an everyday challenge. It goes on and on.
I'm just a regular 24/7 dad now.
I think you need something to take care of in order to figure out who you are as a person, and in that way, being a dad has levelled me out more than anything. You've just got to be good for that person no matter what's going on in your head that day.
