Personal Narrative: Growing Up As A Father

Improved Essays
Growing up my father, well I do not know if I can call him that. I looked at the other kids playing with their dads. Playing baseball, basketball, or even just hanging out with their father knowing that they loved them. For me it was a different point of view I saw it differently, my father never liked me in any way. We would never do things that the other children were doing. We never did go outside and play baseball, basketball or any other sport that seemed fun. It seemed that he and I could never get along. We could never do anything that we fun.
Nonetheless, he looks at me with hate like I have done something to him. Like I have stolen something or smashed one of his favorite objects. I was only a child at the time I did not know what

Especially in a family that I did not ask to be in. Why did I have to be the one that lives with a man that hates me for no reason? Why could I not have been replaced by someone else? Why could not I have been born somewhere else? With another family that a father would have loved me.
Even, what I realized when I got older was the fact that I was maturing more than he was. Now he wants to start being a "father" and starting hanging out, joking and doing thing together. It was already too late for that; he had a chance to make it right when I was young at the time. He missed his opportunity to be a father; he acts more like a child than a grown man.

I do not like being around him now, nor do I like joking with him or being around him. All in all, now I realize that, if I ever get married it's to treat my son good and to raise him right. Be treated equally, let him make friends, and make sure that he is happy and not mistreated and to be well loved by his own father. I make sure that my son has a childhood that I never had. That we do the things that I did not do. That I spend time with him and spend every minute of

    A third potential way I see this article by Jessica Lahey relating to me is as a future. I may be young, but not too young to think about how my upbringing and temperament may impact my future parenting style. I think myself and others my age should take this piece and think about the magnitude of the advice the author is offering. I do not want to be the mom who puts her children at a disadvantage by never letting them stand on their own two feet. I have a strong maternal instinct and desire to protect.…

    Becoming a father was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. It is such a special feeling living for someone else and not just yourself, knowing that your sole duties in life are now to love, provide, teach, mentor, and discipline. I always hear people say “ Im don 't think I 'm ready to be a parent.” and to be honest, I do not think anyone is ready to be a parent. I can still remember like it was yesterday the day my son was born.…

(By Fabio Robert ( about 700 words) I always thought that being a good husband and father would be a big challenge and a difficult step to overall adulthood.
