So for the first time ever, I will be a father. And during the months leading up to this point, I've ran millions of scenerios on how his life will play out, and I haven't even met him yet. When you have a child, genetically, they're clones of the parents, good and bad. So with that said, what "good" qualities do I teach him dealing with character? Of course I teach him the simple things: believe in the word of the Lors, be respectful, importance of education, etc. But what about, how to be good at gambling, or how to get 5+ phone numbers in a night, or the Harrison men's "Gift of Gab", or what about what to do in bed to drive women wild.
Some of those seem bad or wrong, but were things put in my life that helped shaped me into who I am. But with these things, who deem them wrong? Some of these are great qualities to some. Where I grew up, you had to have card savy or you lost lunch money, he will surely need to know how to approach women, and how to please his partner. Will I teach him how to be passive like me, or will I promote him to be outspoken and not passive at all?
I am a person who sees 2 sides to everything, and it's funny but with him, see nothing but positive endings. It's funny how I will give ANYTHING I possess to ensure he is happy and successful. Total dedication to someone I can only feel whem they kick lol. I've never understood how men can let petty conflict between the mother and themselves have any effect on how they interact with their child. You don't have to ever think about the mother again, but you will always have the child to think of. We all try to be happy, but it should reach a point when seeing them happy is what you want more than anything.
My excitment level is through the roof, and I can not wait to encorperate him into my life. I am now starting to see myself as a guide for him to be all he can be and the best he can be at whatever he chooses to do. I will always be an open book to "the Sequel", but I don't know if that's good or bad lol.
Well as you know Marko, I have no children, but I heard a great quote that applies in this scenario, "Bought sense is better than borrowed sense". There are going to be some things that you can teach him and other things you can't. He will have to go through life and learn things on his own. You can tell him until you are blue in the face, but until he learns for himself, it is what it is! I know you are ecstatic on the arrival of your son. I wish all of yall the best in raising him! Hope he keeps you up everynight, lol, j/k!
