Rising Dads

Success as a dad is when you are no longer necessary (YMMV)

This is a community of dads working towards that goal.

What does it mean to be a good dad? A successful dad? How do you answer these questions? The answers are likely going to be a unique combination of your experiences, knowledge, relationships, beliefs, and values.

If you enjoy spending time with your kids, your kids will enjoy spending time with you.

If you don’t enjoy spending time with your kids now, do you think they will enjoy spending time with you when you’re 80?

Dads

Rank these metrics in order of importance:

1) the amount of time you spend washing dishes
2) the amount of sleep your partner gets
3) the number of times your child laughs per day
4) the number of times your child sees you kiss your partner
5) the amount of sleep you get

I had a humbling call with @lylemckeany about being a dad of a special needs child:

- fears/worries
- how he's changed as a person
- how he takes care of himself mentally and physically
- his advice for expecting dads

What if you were the average of the five dads you spend the most time with?

- Do you even have 5 dads you spend time with?
- Do you have supportive people who want you to succeed?
- Do you have accountability partners who will push you?

Surround yourself with dads you admire.

[Rising Dads @RisingDads]

Are you going to be a first time dad in 2021?

We'd love to support you however we can along the journey!

Document. Every. Thing. You. Do.

Prepping a meal? Document it.

Visiting a park? Document it.

Meeting up for a play date? Document it.

Looking at Christmas lights? Document it.

Saving for college? Document it.

Seriously. Start now.
