My neighbors have an infant boy who cries for a living. 1am-4am is his time for crying.

And every night, the father is awake with his wife until the boy goes back to sleep. Every night

That's the kind of father I want to be. Be in the life of my kids from cradle to adulthood.

The mistake some men make on this side of the planet is to assume their role as father's starts and ends with making financial provisions for the family.

Aside providing for the family, maybe play the role of a disciplinarian for the kids. JD: Provide money and beatings

And then after hustling through sweat and blood to raise kids into adulthood, he realizes that he has no connection with the kids, they're distant.

All the love the kids have for their parents goes to their mother. And trust African mothers to exploit the absence of fathers.

Anyway, as much as you will be hustling to fend for your family, try to be present in their lives.Don't let only the woman do the grooming/raising of the kids. It will end in tears for you
