Quote★★★★
“Fatherhood isn’t brain surgery. I say this in defiance of the new conventional wisdom that being a father is breathtakingly difficult, that it creates tough dilemmas, and that fathers need a strategy for carrying out their duties. I don’t think so. Most men I know have an instinct for fatherhood that is triggered the day their first child was born. They instantly recognized the number one requirement of fatherhood: to be there.”
Steve May, The New Republic.
The point
Argues fatherhood's core requirement is simply showing up and being present.
