@Lester:
Thanks for the comment - what a beautiful quote. I don't have a son, but it still means a great deal to any father.

@Stephen:
I appreciate your kind words. This world needs more real men...not mean men, but men who appreciate being men and take care of their families. But we need to be men first...and your right - being a women does look too complicated!

I think I found you through Momo's blog. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I like your blog, and I enjoy being a man, too. Being a woman just looks too complicated. :)

I have strived everyday for the last 25 years to be "a loving husband and a wonderful parent." I have had great successes and miserable disappointments. I feel your goal has to be: Trust & Respect. When your wife and kids trust you and respect you, the ups, downs and sideways, all go a lot smoother.

Thanks for your comment. I'm vary aware of how you feel...being spread very thin. But it's always worth it in the end. I used to think that I was a man, but having a child changes your perspective a great deal.

And I wanted you to know that I added your site to my blogroll on the right. I'll definitely check in with you soon.

Very well put!

I have been a husband for 5 years and a Dad for about 8 months now. I think is much easier to be just a husband. Being a Dad requires me to do everything I did as just a husband, but also find it in myself to do just as much if not more for my son. It can spread me pretty thin at times as I'm sure you are aware. :)

Cool blog! I have added you to my Feed Reader. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my site as well!
