This chapter emphasizes the misconception of fathers being seen as babysitters rather than parents, stressing the importance of acknowledging their role as significant and irreplaceable caregivers in their children's lives.
You’re not a babysitter. You’re not some lesser figure in your kids’ lives. When you are with them—and when you are not with them—you’re their father. That matters. It’s an important job, one that you should take seriously and never demean (and not let others demean, either). You’re doing it because you love it, because you get something out of it, and you know what kind of impact it has.
