Let's Talk About Men

With Father's Day approaching, I'm thinking about the male role models in my life.  So let's talk about men, or perhaps male figures.  The role of men in relationships these days is very different from when I was growing up.  The traditional role was that of breadwinner, disciplinarian, top dog.  Things have changed a lot.  There is substantial overlap in the roles of men and women in families now.  That's a great thing.  People now seem more free to choose the path they want for themselves.  Anyone can stay at home and parent, go out into the workforce and work, and sometimes do both.  It's great to see more and more dads becoming more and more involved in their family's life.  It's crucial for both parents to be involved in their children's lives.  I have tried very hard to be as involved in my child's life as I possibly can.  The enjoyment I get out of sharing life with my son has been beyond my wildest imagination.  The rewards of parenting are absolutely unmatched by anything else.  I am so grateful to have him in my life.
