What do kids need today from their dad? There is nothing replaces the father saying to their son/daughter, "Hey! I am so proud of you! I am glad you are in your life!"....and do so on and so forth. Make them feel they are important! Make them feel that you need them! Talk to them. Ask their opinion.

If not now, when? When are you gonna do it for your wife and children? There's more to life than working every single day. Stop disrespecting your family when it comes to money. You can't always say no in spending on something. Sit down and plan how to spend.

Hey, you only get one chance with your kids! Don't let your kids get to you or do the things you like which they don't. Go where they are so you can get connected with them! Please don't be selfish. Don't make your kids to something that they are not. I am telling you, it is worth it! Go on love on your kids and get involved with their lives.

Let me tell you this and I'm going to be honest with you. I've talked to a number of people that are not that great as a dad and they're not that great as a husband.
I've made plenty of mistakes over the course of being a father and being a husband but you can't do that long term because what happens is you deteriorate the relationship with your children. Later on they're going to see this pattern and then the other thing that they're going to start feeling is they're under-appreciated, they're not important.
I just want to encourage you that if you don't make some radical changes it's not going to end well for you.
Let me ask you now, are you becoming the leader or father that is worth following?

It is important prioritizing our priorities. One of the things that I want to talk to you about is making sure that what you say aligns with what you do.
Guys say the things that are important to them, they start talking about how my family's the most yet they spend very little time with them. It's like they'll spend 12 14 hours a day at work and then they come home and they're too tired to do anything and they don't have meaningful conversations with their spouse. They can't play baseball with Billy because it's probably dark outside but now and they got to send one more email or get this other thing. I'm not I'm not dogging on you. I'm not saying that those things are not important and you shouldn't do those things but the truth is, if you say it's important then we need to allocate some time towards making sure that you have time to pitch the ball with Billy or go to Susie's recital or spend time with your wife out on the patio talking about things in your life that you really want and the things that you want to accomplish.
