It would be interesting to hear what you have to say about your wife through all of this. What did she learn?

Lmao

​@@locochang6533 What's funny?

Well you’re doing fantastic !

Love your honesty..don't give up you have one of the important jobs in the world!

Finally I know others feel what I feel. It’s tough man. Beautiful, but tough.

😂😂 Agreed!

Just walking in the steps I was ordered Fam thank you!

@@BeleafInFatherhood Mr.Bealeaf may I ask you something?

👏✊ let us take pride in Jesus our Lord instead of ethnicity

@@BeleafInFatherhood you just inspired me fam I'm a stay at home dad year and half so far and u just blew my mind

I thought that was him

La Guardia Cross Are you related to him?

It is awesome seeing all of the empathic dads, single dads, and stay at home Dads on youtube. As a single dad it has made me feel a lot less alone. Although we now have a family, my son has a step mom and step sister, I still feel a lot of the weight being a majority time sharing parent. Thanks to all of you.

😍😍😍

My two favorite fathers on KZfaq lol , thank you guys for all that you do and the example you set the bar high. Peace and blessings

Bedside, I see what you did there. Walking miles in somebody else's shoes, eh? 👍

Men still will think they do the most

​@@atlantis6855Because they do.

Proud of u.... seriously ☺️

@@snehasingh6835 thank you ☺

How did u manage feeding ur baby in his breastfeeding times

@@rashmiprava8020 he's 2. He doesn't need breastfed. He was mainly breastfed at night. He got bottles for the most part during the day as he was a demanding baby and it was taking it out of my wife.

Currently in that journey with two girls.. man, more challenging than installing an entire HVAC system

We are in this together!!!

HAHAH!

EXACTLY!

Hes not a man that gets it hes honestly lucky he got the chance to experience it

Thank you so Much! Still got a lot further to go Lord Willing!

Yasss same here! Praying for continued success!!!!

YAY!! thank you!

Proud......he's doing what ever man should do. Take care of your Kids.

Thank you SIS!

Thank you fam!

Me to

Am totally not judging you at all but...if you can get even a minimal job...even a small job...you might be surprised how that would help you and your family. I came from a family where my father stayed at home and my mum worked...but I just wanted my dad to work. Even if he was a janitor, or a cleaner or a carpenter...I would be so proud...so so proud. I don't know your situation but I would advice you for this.(my dad has a history of depression and alcoholism. I don't want to have children because I don't want to continue his lifeline. I think it should end with me.)

@@augustinembae8266 Sounds more like you need to see a therapist. I really think it could help you. That resentment should not be what guides how you live your life. Also sounds like he was depressed before and he needed to speak to someone too. I'm thinking partly because he's a man and his wife is the one working. That's a major blow to most men. No matter the situation. He could have had all his appendages blown off and be in a wheel chair. Some men are only taught to financially support, or you're worthless. They skip or ignore the part where there supposed be supportive in general. Even though he might have loved you guys, that's sounding more like residual resentment. Like he was feeling hurt and bothered. And that's something that could be felt by others in your circle negatively. When a lot of people drink to escape, their feelings almost always come out. Life update: The reason I wasn't working was because the company I worked for lost a major contract and laid a few of us off. I got another job shortly after, then had our second baby. My husband will take random vacation days and he'll stay with the kids. He struggles and things don't get done around the house same as with me. He not the type of person to admit he is struggling, but will show signs passively. He will call me about 6x a day to ask how to make a bottle or where this or that is. It's hilarious. We actually like our kids and enjoy spending time with them thought. And the 4yo can/will do most things on his own. Determined to be independent. He's still a handful though. More in the way of questions authority, most likely gonna be a lawyer or a contractor/architect that knows his way around the law. Tries to be sneaky, but he's too loud. If the baby is sleeping and he's not, he'll try to wake him up. The toddler is a tornado, and he will fight and then have a tantrum or run off with his hands in the air looking for somewhere to fall out with the drama when he's told he can't knock his brother upside the head with a toy.🤦🏾‍♀️ He's the one we had to baby proof EVERYTHING for. At this rate, I'm guessing he'll either go MMA or WWE.🤷🏾‍♀️ Our poor dog just runs into her crate sometimes when she sees him coming.🤣🤣🤣 I am currently at home but for the same reason as most people. I took longer though because I've had medical issues in the past and didn't want to chance anything. Plan to go back sometime next month. In the meantime, I make jewelry and I'm actually working on a custom order for some centerpieces. God bless!💙

@@augustinembae8266 I'm also speaking from experience. The way your upbringing sounds reminds me of someone else and their siblings I know closely. They love their dad and their mom was the breadwinner. Looking back at the past you can see he was showing signs of depression. And his kids felt the same way as you sound like you did. They resented him. Looking back as adults they understand more of why his dad was the way he was. The sister sees a therapist and it's helped her tremendously. The younger brother seems okay, but his personality is very nonchalant so it's hard to tell. The older brother is almost 10 years older was there for the father's behavioral changes so it effected him a lot more. He definitely should see one. He's a mess.

@@kharlie22 I'm a stay at home dad. I do work some but the reality of societal expectations is hard to ignore. Khalire I empathize with you and every single woman who has ever stayed at home. My fiance one day was like, "it must be nice to nap during the day." I looked at her and said, "you realize I'm now working as a cook right? Sorry if I ever take a break during my 16 hour work days." lol I still want to be the bread winner, but nonetheless. I am grateful for a perspective most men won't ever get.

@@JonJosephKuhn There’s a difference in a stay at home dad and a broken dad. These dads had trauma that prevented them from working. As a stay at home parent you always run the risk of being judged, which is unfair if you both agreed on it. Also if the bread winner needs help financially it’s time to find a job.

I appreciate that! Thank yoU!

Thank you brother honored! Got your email and I appreciate all your encouragement!

I believe this was intended for the fathers

Paulina Nkansah Smh Right! Show yourself you cowards!!!

AMEN

Thank you bro!!! I can't wait to rock with you!

REPRESENT!

I appreciate that Fam! Thank you for being down for so long!

Beleaf In Fatherhood of course. Love your stuff. Love that you are a good role model for dad's.

Hahahaha! You make me laugh I had the same mentality depending on the age of your kids your about to be humbled my friend. But don’t fear your not alone

Haha! 3 years later and I bet you’re eating your words! 😂

Thank you so much for your support The love is real!

God bless you 🙏🏼🌸😇

thank you!!!

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm Honored!

Thank you so MUCH!

I'm honored thank you!

HEY KEISHA!

He is a new found role model for me. I am a stay at home Dad currently. I have so much more compassion and empathy to what it is to be a stay at home wife/person. It also takes a lot of trust in the working partner, because you completely rely on them.

Thank yoU!

Really???
