I think parents are there to lead by example. Father, mother, and if you have positive grandparents and older siblings, that doesn’t hurt either.

A good dad is priceless beyond value. He is a solid wall of safety and he brings a sense of calmness, steadiness and logic to the lives of those he loves. He might not be overly demonstrative with love every single day but you unquestionably feel how much he loves you because he's always selflessly dependable and a great provider. He's just always there for you with the small things and the big things. Thanks to all the awesome Dads out there. You are very much appreciated xx

I try to be the steadiness and security in my daughter’s life. She knows she can rely on me if she needs to. My own dad was somewhat distant in my life, so I wanted to make sure that I was different.

@Oneofthestormboys that's awesome

A great dad can really be impactful. Dads contribute to a kids development in various ways, like shaping their emotional, social, and building a strong character.

Something a lot of little young people are missing out on. I know I did ☹

@HumanEarth yeah each deserve good parents. Your kids got blessed
Our parents are usually the biggest influence in our lives, for better or worse. I was blessed with two great parents. They were not perfect people, but truly dedicated to doing their best by us. If there was "privilege" in my life .. it was their influence, teaching guidance, and unwavering support.

A good and safe dad can help contribute to a child's development just as much as the mum. Team work too.

@WoWgirll I just seem to pick the bad ones unfortunately. Single for life
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@MiraRoss some of us must learn from our own mistakes.
Mines 50/50 at best don't feel bad
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@WoWgirll yes you are right

A disciplinarian anchor. A first-hand model for how a man should treat a woman, seen through dad/mom relationship dynamics. Good dads are the best.
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@DarthInvader I agree and rare sadly same with moms not enough good ones
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
To role model positive masculinity in the home. Because I can guarantee that the same children will encounter plenty of toxic masculinity outside of the family.
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@SunshineGirl very true
Fertilization · 36-40, F
A father doesn’t have to be perfect—his presence, guidance, and effort to be involved often matter more than anything else.
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@MiraRoss it's tricky man
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@WoWgirll it is definitely. We all want what's best for our kids but life likes to test us so much
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@MiraRoss you are soooo right t u
romell · 51-55, M
Both parents are important ..Dad's the anchor ,the huge tree gives shelter from the storms to the family..under his protection the family grows
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@romell I agree
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@romell I promote a dads presents when I hear women say they are not needed I think that's delusional
romell · 51-55, M
@WoWgirll Dad's are very important they enforce discipline in the household ,theirs tons where a man does perform better ..kids feel more secure with elderly make at home
Christina · 31-35, F
Maybe the sense of security? The feeling that someone’s got my back no matter what?
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@Christina yup. Sounds correct to me
They represent a unique perspective, offer a consistent model for healthy relationships, and encourage children to take healthy risks, helping them develop into balanced, well-adjusted individuals.

Everything. Emotional support. Discipline. Integrity.

@WoWgirll a father like both parents should be a role model there for love and advice when needed
dpoet · 36-40, M
the same that makes a mom so important
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
@dpoet agree
Nanoose · 70-79, M
Because they teach their children important social skills – like the old “pull my finger” joke. Cheers!
