I do things like Daddy/Daughter dances, go to my girl's dance classes, take my girls to their gymnastics practices. I take them out to do things. My wife does these things as well with our girls.
Lately, I keep hearing "you are such a great dad!" I am not trying to be condescending, but isn't this what Dad's are supposed to do. There is nothing "great" about spending time with your kids. I figured that it should just be considered normal.
Has our world become so busy that a dad doing things with/for his kids is the mark of being an exception? My parents were not involved with my life much growing up. I never wanted my kids to experience that. But, I don't feel like I do anything extraordinary.
I guess, I just really wonder if we, as a society, have become so busy that doing just the normal things in life has become rare. If that has become the case, what does our society need to do to correct the problem?
