Pro father piece

’m one of the privileged ones. Growing up, my dad was very present. He provided for us. Put a roof over our heads. Put food on the table. And he expected things of us. He expected us to do our best. To be good students. Good people.

a bit sentimental -kind of, like something a writer would write, but good stuff here

Turning boys into men is no duckwalk. It’s something the state can’t do. Or a social worker. It’s something mothers can't do alone, as hard as they may try—and as good and heroic as they are. Fathers are uniquely qualified to do this work. And uniquely situated. Dads play a critical—and underappreciated—role in their daughter's lives, too.
