I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing that drives me more than anything else is being a father.
Being a father is an everyday challenge. It goes on and on.
In real life, I'm a dad.
Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.
I'm just a regular 24/7 dad now.
I'm just constantly trying to be a good 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.
I never knew my father, and I'd hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I'd also want to be there for them no matter what.
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.
One way of reading my life is that I have been in constant search for a father.
