My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think my father couldn't wait to get home to his wife, but I don't know if he was so keen on us children.
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 waiting for the day when my children cease to find my domestic propriety reassuring and actually find it annoying.
I'm trying to be the best father and take care of my kids.
All kids want from their dad is for them to be around - and to show up when they say they're going to show up.
Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'This is our moment to look at who our men and boys are.'
Parents have to really talk to their children before they leave home.
We're homebodies. I've gotten to see my kids' first steps, first smiles, first words. Every day is a weekend.
Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.
I have to keep reminding myself that I am their mother. Sometimes we are sitting at home and I feel like we are waiting for our mom to come home.
