As a Dad, do you feel like your actually raising your kid?

No matter how involved you are with your kids, do you feel like a spectator who just makes sure these little people stay alive. You pay the bills. Play with them, and occasionally have to play goalie and smack them back into play?

It’s surreal raising little humans. It’s like trying to grasp sand and wondering how they keep growing almost without you.

I literally put food in their mouth with a fork just as a bird feeds its young with its beak. Yes.

I'm not sure what the question is. I've been very involved in every way up into the teenage years they are in now.
A lot different than my dad and the ones I grew up around who went to work and came home to sit in the recliner and expected the wife to handle everything else except for an occasional hunting or fishing trip.

You have no kids.

Go play in traffic.

I discipline my child, so yes, I actually feel like I raise him. The feeling is never of accomplishment, which I'm told is how to know it is real.

Yeah, now do I know what I’m doing ? Nope, but since they are still alive, I would say they are being raised....

I'm raising my girl to avoid pussies like you, and my son to prey on them



So yes

Dad of 4...24, 21, 20, 20 years old.

Tried to be as actively involved as possible. Believe my wife and I provided a solid foundation. Tried to put them in high quality schools, travelled with them a lot and told them we loved them often. All four are really good people.

I foolishly thought that we would be “done with parenting” after they graduated h.s. I still worry about them and provide advice/guidance when appropriate. Transitioning from teenage years to early adulthood can be tricky in terms of how the relationship between us and our kids changes.

I’d love nothing more than to have one more week when they were in the 6-10 year old range.

My four year old son literally thinks I’m a superhero. He certainly believes I’m God’s coolest creation.

I like to think our close relationship right now is shaping who he is becoming as a person.

I’m the best dad in the world

I do everything for my kids and I wouldn’t have it any other way

I took my two to the movies (1 & 3) alone so my wife could rest

I am just waiting for the day I can jerk my belt off and make that terrifying noise all kids should hear.

On a more serious note, my 22 month old said “oh shite” the other day. Wasn’t my proudest moment as a Dad. I guess I need to make sure my Netflix watching is more restrained when she is around.
