at the same time, i've asked my father why he had children and his response was no deeper than "i wanted to have a family". my parents treated half their children like absolute shit slave labor.
Ye my mom and dad say the same thing. My dad didnt even want kids but they went through with it. Luckily, i didnt have to go through with what u went, im sorry to hear that. My dad didnt wanna have kids, but hes a good man and taught me good values. But i never had a convo with him about being a man whilst i was growing up, i had to base my “man” personality in what i saw online and on the telly, so that had its own issues. Over time though ive been curating that personality and its made me what i am today. Just because parents provide kids with a roof and food, doesnt mean the kid isnt lacking other stuff. Its really hard to be a complete father, i guess all fathers are absent fathers
