Fatherhood

Well i just wrote a paper about this subject for this class. Plus we are talking about parenting in class lately (and throughout the semester). I have been so blessed in my life for my dad and the way my parents have chosen to raise me. These are so many things that a father can do and teach that a mother cannot. Well, a mother might be able to teach these things but a father can teach them better and give a child more information. The way a father and a mother teach their children is very different and can be detrimental or help in so many ways. I am thankful that i have strong parents who have fought through all the hard trials in my life and their life's. I have seen the effects of divorce on children and i don't know if i could be where i am today if my parents were separated. I Love my parents and i do not think they will ever understand how wonderful they have been to me and my siblings. They have and are still teaching me so much and i only hope i can be half as good of a parent as they have been to me when the time comes. A father has a big role in the family, just as big as the mothers. Even though some people make it seem like the mother has most of the responsibility for the child, a father is needed to a child's development. I am lucky to have a good dad who has taught me all he has and given me the good values that he has. My father is a wonderful example of what a father should be like. I am very thankful for what i have been learning in this class and that i will be able to apply these things in my life as the times come.
