Show notes
Stop! Don't! Sit down! Wait! Just be patient. Sound familiar? If not to you, then ask your children how often they've heard these exclamatory statements. Sometimes these outburst are warranted whether to keep the child safe or to keep the child from harming someone or something else. Other times, parents are just too far spent with life to deal with an annoying request for mild and cookies (oat milk, of course).
What is the lesson for the parent? That's simple...take a dose of your own medicine. Life comes at you fast, and sometimes we make the mistake of trying to outpace it instead of taking a step back to analyze what's really going on. Sometimes the clutter is all mental or perhaps a collection of small frustrations, or maybe even an indication that our health is in jeopardy. The source is important, but very much irrelevant when it yields mistreatment of our children.
We took advantage of this safe space to evaluate how patience, or the lack thereof, has informed how we parent. There were periods when the angst of life prevailed, but thankfully, we've grown through and from those challenges, which positions us to be better fathers today. There's also a new segment, during which we responded to a sincere question from one of the DSN faithful. There's a pretty great chance that this will be a consistent part of the show moving forward. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
This conversation, as do most, provides a transparent view of life through the lens of fatherhood; however, it does not exclude women. There may be parallel experiences that resonate with you, or you may just want a peak into the minds of men. We wouldn’t be here without you. You're welcome.... you’re all welcome. We invite you to take this ride with us to experience life as we know it.
We learned quite about ourselves during this dialogue, and that’s typical. Hopefully, a point or two will prompt you to have similar meaningful discussions in your home. We highly recommend that you consume the entire episode for the best results. Also, meet us in the comments or tag us with your opinion on social media via the links below. As always, we welcome your perspective. It takes a village.
