I can relate to a lot of what exador's talking about. I stress out quite a bit about my parenting skills and instinct and it may all stem from the fact that my father left when I was 4 months old and I never met him (he has since passed from lukemia and I never met him). I think I tend to "overwork" my figure as a dad and also expect a lot from my kids; more than they are capable of giving me, or are capable of understanding when I break down and give lectures. But I'll be damned, if coming home and having your kids run to the door screaming "DAAAaaaad!" for hugs and kisses isn't one of the greatest feelings on this planet... that right there tells me I'm alive, and hell, I'm doing something halfway right.
