Leading by example

Been thinking a lot about what kind of man I want my kids to see me be. I messed up a lot when I was younger but I'm committed to showing my boys that a real man admits his mistakes, works hard, takes care of his family, and treats women with respect. It's not always easy but they're watching everything I do. Just needed to get that out there.

This hits hard. I've been thinking about the same thing since the custody switch. Realizing they're watching how I handle myself, especially when things are difficult. It's changed how I show up.

The fact that you're thinking about this means you're already ahead. My kids have seen me mess up plenty and what matters is that they see me own it and try to do better.

Kids are mirrors, man. They reflect what we show them. Sounds like you're being intentional about what that looks like now.
