Father's Dilemma




Every Father goes through an emotional roller coaster…

juggling between things...

trying to find a balance in everything…work…family...kids…friends...

To begin with...

Transition to Parenthood…how to change diapers…what clothes to buy…so many questions…importantly so many things that might get screwed..

Guilt of missing your kids first giggle..

Guilt of not being able to provide enough Money to take care..

Guilt of leaving the Partner alone to deal with issues at Home..

The difficult thing…being a Father is that

Everybody wants it now!..The kids want it now!..The wife wants it now!..

The job wants it now!..The opportunity is now!

Because

Your early years are your earning years

If a Man…Is at Home all the time…

And if he is bread winner...

That’s a bad sign …

The difficult thing…being a Father is that

You can never get it 100%

If I give Time…we don’t have Money

If I give Money…we don’t have Time

I can’t be there with you my Kid and earn a living at the same time

My wife says..have Patience..

When I asked Patience…Patience asked me more Time..

The difficult thing…being a Father is that

I am limited and

I have an Obligation…to make sure

My Kid, your life has to be better….Than mine

That’s the real Essence of a Father’s Life…
