Daddies and daughters. Why it's important to be earnest. A story, a printable, and a song :)
We’re lucky to be mummies in the modern world. Our generation are one of the first, in Western societies at least, to have daddies involved in the parenting. In more than just a ‘wait til your father gets home’ kind of way. My husband has been struggling under the yoke of this modern ‘equality’ in the home since he met me. He sometimes laments, with a smile, falling in love with a feminist. It has given him a role in our children’s lives that is meaningful, productive and healthy. He knows them, he understands what they eat, the rhythm of their days. He has walked the halls singing them to sleep and washed the sick from their shivering little bodies. He’s changed nappies and made breakfasts, lunchboxes and dinners, he’s listened to their long-way-around-stories, and read them many more. He’s a softie about lights out and a push over when it comes to tomato sauce. He’s an awesome Dad. The kids are so lucky to have him.
