I did my job!
This weekend, my three year old son, Teddy, said to me after being disciplined..."Daddy, I am mad at you." That was sweet music to my ears. Why? My job is to not be my kids Buddy! My job is to be a parent. And that means my sons will not also agree with or be happy with me some of the time. Just fine! I still love them to death. In fact, I love them so much that they will be mad at me!
I see many parents that want to be friends with their kids. I totally disagree. Now its not like I want to be feared or hated by my kids. Not at all. But I do have a job and responsability to raise them and bring them up into the men they are supposed to be. And this means at times they will not like their Dad.
So I never in my life thought that those words would be a good thing!
