And it just meant that I was finding my own way as a dad.
And I think that that's important.
I think we men need that
freedom, so to speak, to be able to say, okay, so I'm going to put them to bed.
We have a certain routine for doing that.
Yes.
And we should kind of try to do the same routine in the sense of, you know, if bedtime is 830, we're not putting them to bed at 915.
We're getting them upstairs to bed at 830.
But if we want to read three books instead of four or five books instead of four or whatever it is, if we want to spend a little extra time cuddling together or if we end up telling our own story because we think they might enjoy it or whatever that sort of variation is,
that's totally okay and what it's really allowing us to do is come into our own as a as our own parent versus being a parent that our wife wants us to be or even being a parent that we saw our parents be right i mean when kids are babies we're learning this on the fly and we want to have some flexibility to be able to learn how to do that in the way that works best for us
And I think sometimes moms can have a real challenge with that because it's not done the way that it's always been done.
But I think there is some real value in letting dads not just fail, but try to find their own way because that's what's going to build our confidence.
and the child.
Yeah,
And to be completely honest, I believe the research, I've read a lot of research about the importance of the involvement of dads.
It's not that, A, obviously, it's not that moms don't matter because moms obviously do matter.
And it's not that dads make the difference that if whether moms are there doesn't matter.
It's that some of those benefits are really because having two parents
who are not exactly the same is really valuable for a child.
Having two parents that interact differently, who interact in unique ways, who encourage the kids to do different things in different ways, really adds a flexibility to the child's personality that makes it easier for them to function in school, to have social relationship, to grow up a little bit more adjusted.
