Men Reveal the Things That Make Them Feel Like Bad Fathers

The pressures of being a parent can really get to people. You have the responsibility of raising up a human life, and the last thing in the world you want to do is drop the ball.

“Am I a good parent?” is a question that has haunted so many for so many years. And the reasons the question comes up are as varied as people themselves.

Here are a few reasons in particular that men feel they might be bad dads.

10. Stress

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. Kids are a handful, especially at that age. Stress is inevitable.

9. Need to Flirt

A lot of how I’d assess this one depends on whether you’re single or not…

8. A good job

Now that is an incredibly dicey situation.

7. Work work work

Seasons like this are ok, as long as they don’t last forever.

6. Friends

It’s always tough on kids to leave their buds behind.

5. Wanting to leave

Some say there’s no such thing as a bad divorce.

4. Spending decisions

Sounds like a little budgeting is in order. It’s not so bad, just sit down, write it out, stick to it.

3. I lost it

Everybody loses their patience now and then.

2. The work problem

The central theme to a thousand Hallmark movies.

1. Solve for X

Some things he’ll have to figure out for himself, just like you did.

Here’s to all the dad’s out there – it can be a real tough road.
