I would like to share some of tha challenges, struggles, and tha joys of being a father. From my child first step, to their first date As their father a relationship with my children is a very special one. Tha importance of a father’s role in shaping his children’s self-esteem is often underestimated and with that said Our children don’t come with an instruction manual either it's hard to figure some they shit out I swear.... But as their father we have to figure a lot of things out for themselves when it came to raising our Kidz.... Shited to keep it real I had my 1st child when I was 20 years old and my 2nd when I was 22. I was a very young man, with limited income, I lacked maturity, I was very selfish, and I had a lot of bad habits.I remember sitting there one day watching my Daughters playing, and I became so overwhelmed with being that young, and having tha responsibility for raising two children at that age that I ran away and left my daughters behind. Think that I still had a chance to correct tha mistake by better myself I struggled with being responsible for raising my children, but I struggled more with being a role model for them, especially when I didn’t have my own lyfe together.....Raising children can be very tough, especially when you have them early in lyfe, and have limited resources. Preaching about not having kids until you’re financially stable, or married doesn’t help those who are already in this situation. I wasn’t married when my first child was born, and I surely didn’t have any money. Tha President of tha United States came from a single parent home with limited resources, which proves any child can achieve success as long as they have parents who love and support them. I decided to live #lyfe to learn how to be tha best at who I am as a man.... I don't never want to repeat tha #mistake I have made just want to correct as many as I can....before I say #goodbye...... To tha guy that out there in these shoes now take it from me running away was not tha answer..... Stay and be there for your children; As fathers we need to be there for our children regardless of what we are or what we have. My father was a man, who struggled with every aspect of his lyfe, but he never abandoned me, and he was always there for me until day he died. Our children don’t need us to be perfect, they just need us to be there!... I learn that tha hard way Fathers need to be tha best role models we can, and build our children up, not tear them down. As fathers we can tear our children down with our words, but we do it more by our deeds. Words are very important and words hurt. Tha positive words our children hear stays with them forever, tha negative words they hear can damage them forever. Tha relationship a father has with his children’s mother is very important. People are not always compatible, and sometimes our feelings towards our spouses, or our children’s father or mother changes. Every day parents are faced with tha difficult decision of rather to remain in a relationship, or go their separate ways. If you and your child’s mother are separated, it is very important to work as hard as you can to maintain a positive and civil relationship with her mother. It is also important that we resist tha urge to say negative things about our children’s mother in front of them. Divorces, and breakups can be very tough, but we must think of tha impact our behavior has on our children. They are innocent victims of our failed relationships, and they usually wind up suffering the most, many times blaming themselves. It is our job to make our children know they are not responsible for our failed relationships.Being a father is tha most important job a man will have. Being a good role model and being there for our children can be tha difference between them having a lyfe of positivity and prosperity or a lyfe of struggle. Children who believe their fathers believe in them have higher self-esteem, and more self-confidence. Remember to love your children unconditionally, over-communicate with them, but above every thing else, be there for them. Tell them they can be, and encourage them to be whatever they want to be. No goal is out of reach, no dream is too big if we give our children tha encouragement and support they need. A father doesn’t need to be perfect; he does needs to be there,........
