Being a father is no easy task at all. I am learning that is true for fathers and children of all ages. Yes, some things have gotten easier. There are many other things that have gotten way more difficult. You go from sleep deprivation and strains on your marital relationship to worrying about things like school violence, or a kid even riding a bike down a street without getting killed. I use that example because it just happened to a couple that I know and their son was the same age as mine and they only live about a half hour away from me. Ilnesses, worry of disease or getting them educated properly and making sure they stay out of trouble are just some of the things that come to mind. Believe me, in some ways, things like I am ranting about, like soccer are a godsend, because it keeps them occupied and safer than they would be, if left to their own devices, in some cases.
