There are several reasons why I’m starting this blog.
First, to fix the memories of the first months – or years – of my daughter. I’ve seen memories failing in people when the time flows, bad memories vanishing, good ones even out.
It is such a huge experience, in which I’m learning everyday new things, often several ones within the same day.
And finally, there were few comments which really triggered the idea of a blog into actions. The first comment was linked to the contribution to the pregnancy and birth: “you contributed few seconds and then it’s all about the mother“. Which made me laugh at first, because it is a common camaraderie comment.
But then it came the second one, which was hurtful and left me quite upset. “You should simply work and pay the bills. School, dance, and whatever it comes“.
For me, for my culture, and mostly my soul, fatherhood is much more than that. And I’d like to share, bring a bit more awareness, and if there other guys confuse, help them to try to be better fathers and husbands.
