I'm a dad now and whatever I'm doing in life I usually put a lot of effort into it - usually too much effort, so it kind of comes off ridiculous at times.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm just constantly trying to be a good dad.
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.
I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports, or plays, or school performances, so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.
I'm a good dad and a fair husband and I work quite a bit. That takes up a fair amount of time.
Being a father is an everyday challenge. It goes on and on.
It's just really making sure I am doing the best job I can do as a dad. I do think that is my No. 1 job.
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.
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.
All I want to do is be a good dad, but I'm pretty bad at it.
