The Attached Dad
Bear and Bug, after a lengthy deliberation over “the orange one” or “the blue one” choose a “greatest dad” t-shirt for the hubby for Father’s Day.
My husband is simply the best dad ever. No really. He is.
He works 80 hours per week to make sure that I can stay home with the boys while finishing my degree(s!), and he still has time to coach soccer, t-ball, and attend important karate functions. He comes to school events and on the evenings that we don’t have some activity to attend, he can be found wrestling the three of them on the living room floor or outside in the backyard playing and giving pointers on *insert sport here*.
My husband is a natural at attachment parenting. Gentle discipline comes easily to him. He never yells, he never threatens. He instructs, he disciplines and they respect him.
He has always been supportive of my parenting ideals and that means everything to me. The way we choose to parent is not mainstream, so we don’t talk about it much to family and friends. I love that when we are dealing with a new discipline issues we can sit down together and discuss options and come to an agreement on something that will work. I love that he is my common sense parenting partner.
