Make Time

Raising your child is a huge responsibility.  A dad's role is not over after conception. A dad's role is not over because he supports the family financially.  I work countless hours every week but my schedule revolves around our child.  I get up for work early just to be home to give him a bath, feed him dinner, and put him to bed.  I am not looking for credit - I am simply saying where there is a will there is a way.  Then I have a quiet dinner with my wife.  Then more times then not I will do more work after dinner while we relax in bed.  I love spending time with our son and my wife. There are not enough hours in the day to do what I need to do.  But I make time for the most important thing - my family.  I do not want to miss his "firsts." I may be considered boring by some, but taking my son to a museum, to a park, or to just about anywhere is more fun than sitting at a bar and drinking the afternoon away.  There is no greater reward then seeing my son smile.  But I have to be there to see it.
