Fatherly
 
Jul 19, 2022
 
As a parent, you’ll never get everything right. There are wins and losses and at the end you hope the scoreboard is in your favor. Part of notching that win is hearing from other dads about, say, their biggest regrets or hearing from adults about what they wish their dads did more when they were growing up. We recently asked the latter question to a dozen men, each of whom shared something worth considering. One mentioned how he wanted his father to let him help more; another simply wishes that his dad had played more with him. What they shared highlights something important to remember: Kids want to be involved in your world, and have you involved in theirs.
