Father Friday’s

#FatherFridays

Meet Michael, 25

How many children do you have ? And how old are they?   [I have a] Girl 1 year old, going on 2.

What is your  Co parenting parenting style? Are you a single father? married?

The mother of my child and I have made an effort to co-parent since the birth of our daughter; as first time parents it has been an uphill climb that has improved with time as we have gotten our feet wetter as parents. Gracefully, I have been blessed with a solid immediate family that provides support to ease the load of being a single father. However, my 2 year old niece and sister reside with me and due to the child's father's absence, I have filled that void and though she is my sister, we function as a married couple in regards to the care of my niece.

What do you find the most difficult about being a father?

Time management and hairdressing. Gone are the days where I would schedule my day around a personal event; now, on days when I have my daughter, my daily schedule revolves around her, then follows everything else.  As a single father time becomes a crucial factor and key element in maturation. As expected, hairdressing is not my forté. I've been polishing my skills diligently as my daughter kicks and screams in anger, not because of the pain I inflict while doing her hair, more so because she is aware that the end result will be a disaster.

What is your favorite part about being a Father? My favorite part of being a father is that the mutual love shared with your daughter is nothing south of genuine.

Are there any Father Stereotypes that you find yourself fighting?

I do not submit myself to the typical single father stereotypes because it is counterproductive. As a single father that sees his daughter on occasion, it is essential to make the best of the time shared with my daughter and supporting family rather than engaging in activities that might seem to combat the alleged stereotypes. Particularly in my case, my fathering skills are exercised around the clock due to my nieces' presence in my home and rigorously tested when I have to tend to both my niece and daughter simultaneously.

Do you have a story you would like to share? I can admit that during my daughter's mother's pregnancy I hoped for a boy up until my daughter was born. She is the best thing that has happened to me and I would not change her gender for anything in the world.

Thank You for your contribution to MissScarlaD.com, Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated.

Father Fridays (On a Monday)

Hey guys, so I thought it would be cool , in honor of fathers day to do a #FatherFriday’s segment. I know, I know -- today  is Monday, But my next post will be Friday I promise.

Please meet my first Father Friday

Jose, 26

How many children do you have ? And how old are they?

I have a 6 yr old boy named Jeremy

What is your  Co parenting parenting style? Are you a single father? married? 

[Co- Parenting], We live in different households.

What do you find the most difficult about being a father?

The most difficult thing about being a father for me is not being able to share every single moment with him. The time we spend together is just never enough.

What is your favorite part about being a Father?

My favorite part is everything. It is so much fun to be around Jeremy and I wouldn't trade any second with him for anything in the world. He's just full of surprises and I never know what he's gonna do next.

Are there any Father Stereotypes that you find yourself fighting?

Not really. I feel like I do what I have to do as a father and anyone around me or anyone that truly matters knows the same.

Do you have a story you would like to share?

So last Thursday I pick him up for a late lunch from his house. I ask him where he wanted go and he picked a diner. I kind of  didn't want diner food so I was trying to convince him otherwise; he was really persistent. His mother interferes and says "I know why you want to go to the diner, you want pancakes don't you?" And his face brightens up, she says "well you can't have pancakes because it's too late!" He then becomes disappointed. So I say "if you want pancakes then let's go get pancakes!!" His face brightens up again. So we head to the diner and the server asks him "what can I get for you, honey?" And he says "grilled cheese!"

xoxo,

Scarla.D
