I don't doubt you one bit. I just know that our kids will always see who we are through our actions and not through what we say. Sounds like you're on it. Thanks Tony. I don’t doubt you one bit.

"Be human, man" ... well, I'm nothing but "human", and I think hiding it from my son (and other future children) won't do anything but hurt my credibility. Besides, it would be a fairly impossible thing for me to do anyway. ;) t @ dji Dawud,

Kids don't ask us to be perfect. They ask us to be consistent, loving compassionate and honest. If we can be those things as parents, our kids will great, rich lives and will grow to be beautiful adults. This isn't sappy or wishful thinking. It's just true. Valeria, nice.

It translates roughly: "a son always loves his father and he does so while he judges him and almost never forgives him. Until he discovers the sign of a tear and for the first time he sees a person..." So to what Dawud says, I respond: they'll love you more if they see the real you.

I've got a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. Being a dad is amazing (and hard work) - as I'm sure you already know. What I've learned is that I need to be human for my kids. They need to see that I laugh, cry, hurt, make mistakes and spend too much time on my computer - and that it's all okay. The thing my wife and I have learned is that kids just need to know that whatever they're feeling, wanting, going through, scared of, mad about - that it's okay. That doesn't mean they get to act from feelings any way they like. But we do make the feelings okay for them. Be human, man. Let your kids know that you make mistakes or love video games. They'll love you no less. Tony, first off congrats. I’ve got a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. Being a dad is amazing (and hard work) – as I’m sure you already know.
