The Joy of Fatherhood
I decided to make an ‘interview’ with my husband on this crucial subject. I’d just like to know what he has in his mind about his role as a father…
Me: So, how do you feel being a father of two kids?
Him: Happy, of course, what do you expect? It’s a lovely unconditional love. When I saw each of them in your arms minutes after they were born, there was this huge love flushing into my heart…
Me: Oh, you’re being so sweet. *I kissed his cheek* Now, let’s move on. You are working hard outside. What makes you want to spend lots of time helping me with the chores?
Him: Thats’ easy, honey. I love you and the kids. And, I don’t want you to feel depressed–I don’t like it when you do–so, it’s also for my own good, besides for you and the kids.
Me: Good! *We laughed* Now, tell me. How do you picture the future of this family?
Him: I picture us living in a small city and having our kids live in a bigger one, not far from us with their own family.
Me: Sounds like lots of honey moons for me. *We laughed*
Him: I like this interview…go on…
Me: Let’s say, you are offered a great job, but you have to travel a lot. What would you do?
Him: *He laughed* I know where you’re heading to. Let’s say, if I’ve got no choice, I’d be just like your Daddy. Even if I have to travel, I’ll try my best to be there on special and important occasions. Yet, if I have to choose, I’d rather not take the job.
Me: Yeah, I know you’d do that. Why do you think I married you in the first place?! You’d prefer be with the family…no matter what!
*End of the interview*
