I am a better man because of my daughter.

A boat rises with the water.
Children are the reflection of their parents, which is both terrifying and rewarding
They say the third one is like so, yes 😉 The first one is a leader. The second one a fighter.
Yep .
Politicians are amateurs compared to a clever son/daughter
They will almost break up your marriage just to get a cookie.
I have full intention to be a better man for my children. I started the project not long ago once I knew my wife is pregnant.
It’s gets better when you become financially free
Yeah I don’t know about that, imo kids would be a big responsibility and I gotta focus on financial freedom before bringing little people into the world
And believe me you are her Hero. Im an only child, daughter and I know what im talking about 🫡☺️
That may be… but she is the one who rescued me and gave me purpose 🙏🏻
I know but life is long there will be times where you will shine on her light. Like my dad did to me... just make sure you stay alive to protect her as long as you can. Life on ladies tends to be very rough and even though I was independent from young times my dad was there when I didnt see any light out ... ah God... my dad 🥲🥰🫶 look at you ... now I am going to text my dad. I miss him.
My dear lord this photo 📸 🫶🥰🥲
Time with your kids IS time for yourself. It benefits you more than time spent almost any other way. But here’s the amazing part: time spent bettering yourself also benefits your kids, immensely. It’s a generational flywheel and it can all start with you. Freaking awesome!
Most childless people have a life without purpose
There's some mother Teresas out there
But when you have kids it's kind of a default purpose that you absorb without realizing it
You won't have all the time, but you'll try harder to make the most of it. Baby and mother's needs force you to be flexible and effective.
This is 100% accurate.
Children are not just blessings they are our hope that we can through them be alive even when we are gone.
They are the embodiment of our experience, past, present and future.
The world is what it is today because someone decided to have a kid, a kid that came along and drove progress and innovation
Most of my friends who had children ended up breaking the relationship with the mother and essentially abandoning their children.
They have become more unhealthy, less financially stable and their mental health has deteriorated.
I do think children can be a blessing to people who can handle the responsibility but it seems the generation having children at the moment are not cut out for it.
I hear you very loud and clear.
It’s something on my mind a lot.
Nearly had children with the wrong person and dodged a huge bullet, but found a partner whose parents are still together and had a happy childhood. She was the only woman I met in 40 years who told me that, and it’s why I married her, started a family with her. Our challenges magnified and we both threatened to quit along the way until we took a step back and grinded through every hurdle.
We just signed a lease for a house and we’ll be moving in the next few weeks… can’t begin to tell you how scary this entire process continues to evolve, but we both wanted to do this, and knew it would take absolutely everything out of us… we’re committed, and will have more children before moving our family to China in 4-5 years, not because it easy, but because we think it’s the best option four them to have meaningful lives.
I can’t speak to why other peoples relationships don’t work. There are many reasons and I’m also aware most marriages end in divorce in modern western culture… but I will die trying to be the best husband and father I can be, because it’s my sole purpose now.
Even when our lives fall apart, we have to pick ourselves up and keep going. 4 years ago I got hit by a car, relearned to walk, speak, and rebuilt my life. Looking back, I’m grateful for that experience because it made me exponentially stronger and tougher, and made me prioritize beginning a family and moving into the future with dignity.
We can always start over, and I send my strength to all those real ones going through it… it’s not easy, but the sooner we begin putting one foot in front of the other, the sooner we can look back and have things to smile at.
