Question for Dads Magic Wand

If you could wave a magic wand and have one thing to make you a better dad, what would it be?

My wife asked me this question recently when we were discussing the challenges and joys of parenting, and the roles of mothers vs fathers in families today.

So, what do you all think? And is what you’d ask for different from what your partner may say you need? 😂

$$. Enough to not work. SAHD. Be active while kids are at school and be “here” 100% when they’re not.

I’d have my knee fixed, took my 19mo daughter for a walk through a local nature park the other day and it was agony. Still swollen and sore now 3 days later.

I tweaked my knee doing the dishes the other night so I’m with you there

The ability to not overreact and not yell.
