The Importance of Being a Father

Fatherhood is not about babysitting but a significant responsibility. The story of Stuart Scott illustrates that dads are not babysitters; they are primary caregivers. Fathers play a crucial role in their children's lives, and their presence and involvement are essential for their children's well-being. Being a dad is a serious and impactful job that should be valued and respected by oneself and others.

Fatherhood Is Not Babysitting

3min

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.
