About this episode
In this episode of The Dear Son, Podcast I took a hard look at my parent-to-friend ratio when it comes to my son. Let me explain (see what I did there), in the previous episode my father broke explained the meaning of a quote he’d tell me throughout my youth: “I’m your father, I’m not your friend.” You see, he was more concerned with providing me the right direction as an authority, than watching me fumble my way through life because he was too busy being my friend. I wanted different for my kids…or so I thought. Now I’ve created this parent-friend dichotomy; picking and choosing when to act in each capacity. I err more on the side of parent, but those moments where I slip up and get too friendly could be costly. Fatherhood is tough.
