We Are Teachers

Fellas,

We were put on this earth to teach our kids, both sons and daughters.

If we are not there to teach our sons, how are they suppose to learn how to properly shave; how are they suppose to learn how to properly take care of the yard; how are they suppose to learn how to troubleshoot issues with the car; how are they suppose to learn how to change a flat tire; how are they suppose to learn how to throw a football, tackle, throw and catch a baseball; how are they suppose to learn how to treat a woman; how are they suppose to learn how to be a man?

If we are not there to teach our daughters, how are they suppose to learn how to trust a man; how are they suppose to learn how a man should treat a woman; how are they suppose learn what they should look for in a man; how are they suppose to learn that they are precious creatures that are not to be exploited; how are they suppose to learn that they are not to be abused by another man?

There are so many other questions that can be asked regarding how will kids learn things when fathers are not in their kid's life. We have to realize that we have one of the greatest responsibilities in this world...to raise the next generation. If we don't raise and teach our own kids about life and what it intels, whether in or out of the household, then who are we giving the responsibility to?...society?...cable networks?...video games?...older kids at school?

I know I may be preaching to the choir, but I hope someone will read this that may have overlooked his responsibility as a father and now realizes that he must be involved in his kid's life. It's not an option, it's a duty.

Be strong and talk to you soon.
