It’s Father’s Day and we are all at home…not spending time with each other but spending time with each one’s craft – hubby with his gundam kits, the twins – playing DS, me – with scrapbook and blogging. This is not quality time as you can tell, but this is also our way of being with ourselves. At some point, we have to split up and do what ourselves desire. Others may find this appaling but for me it is not. We also need to breathe.
Anyway, since it’s father’s day, let me talk about my husband as the father of the house.
I’ve known my husband for eight years before we got married. He is a short-tempered man and easily gets irritated over little things. His patience can be measured. We’ve been together for a long time and he changed….little by little….in his own way. I never really asked him to change his personality for my sake but yeah, I sometimes showed him I get tired and displeased with the attitude.
When we got married, he changed even more…he became more gentle and sensitive about my feelings. He always calls home when I got pregnant, making sure I am always OK. He’ll make sure I am listening to Mozart before leaving the house to make sure that the little princesses sleeping in my womb will hear that too. When the kids were born, he was so happy. He knew that this time…he’s no longer the same – he’s now a father to two little angels.
As the kids grow, they became to closer to him. And because we’re always in the office, they would always want to sleep by his side. They wouldn’t want me getting in between! Oh kids! Being a father made him more mature, more responsible. He’s no longer making impulsive decisions but would always consider my approval and the outcome.
Becoming a father is already a change but it can also change the person and his outlook in life since they play a very vital role in parenthood. I guess all fathers do.
Happy Father’s Day to all father’s visiting my blog 
Not every Father changes when they become a parent. It’s out of love that he strives to be a better person. I know becoming a Mother changed me too and made me look at things in a different way.
hi maria – thanks for visiting. yes, you are correct…
Hi Mommy,
Thanks for your visit and comment. And yes, will be glad to exchange links with you. I’ve already added your link.
My husband is the same. He had a short temper. I am always afraid to ruin his mood. I know that this is a flaw and of course I wanted to be changed. I prayed for it. And God also gave me a good timing to raise this matter to him. He still explode sometimes but he can already manage it properly. I thank God for this. And I agree with you that fatherhood, most of the time, make a difference.
Btw, you have a nice template.
