http://www.becomingminimalist.com/2012/02/16/35-things-i-hope-my-kids-will-say-about-their-dad/ I really like this article, it makes me think about what kind of dad I'll be. Seems to me a pretty good list of stuff to aim for, to have said about you.
Dear me...not gonna say how many of those I fail at. Smile in the mornings?!?! Moon on a stick they want.
I got 22 out of 35... Lets call that par for the course because any MORE than that and I'd need to be a freakin cyborg.
I like reading but that's about the only one I can say I do fully. Pretty much all the rest are so dependent on other things. They are too absolute I think.
They DO read as absolutes but I applied the curve of real life making absolutes nearly impossible. I rounded up. If I did something MOST of the time I counted that as a "yes"... If there were more days where I didn't do something it was a no - like that smiling in the morning bit.... yeah, not a chance. In fact, best to just stay the heck away from me til about mid morning. Mid afternoon would be brilliant, lol...
