Dad stages

My daddy... so most boys and some girls have this stage. This is where we think our dads are super heroes and we talk to our friends about what our dads can do and how great they are!

Daddy, uggghh.... this is the stage when we start to hate the things our dad says. They are cheap skates, make you do chores, and also have some lame wisdom like knowing the value of a dollar, or money don’t grow on trees you know.

Mack Daddy... this the stage in life when you are cruising around, or just getting into how you look. You spend your days trying to get the girls and throwing down the Mack.

Call me Daddy part 1.... I’ll let this one speak for itself.

Call me Daddy part 2.... this is when your days as a Mack daddy led to you having a little one or four calling you daddy.

Daddy... this is just the general life long days as a dad. You get up, go to work, read books, make dinner, and get climbed on. These are good moments mixed with the bad, the ones that you cherish and some you ask yourself why did I ever do number 4 on this list???

Single Daddy... this is the stage where I find myself now. Raising three girls and just trying to make it through my days. It’s rough and enjoyable, buts it’s your job and you do it well. You miss the days of partnership, but when life hands you lemons you try to make the best lemonade you can.

Mack Daddy, redux... this when you think you’ve still got some Mojo but you realize you are no longer 21. Body parts are not as sexy as they were before and you just ain’t feeling all the drama.

Just like my daddy... so this is kind of like the final stage. This is also where I am to an extent. I find, as my kids get older, I start sounding more and more like my daddy. Although, I don’t admit that what he said was correct. I do admit kids are freaking expensive...and yeah, Money don’t grow on trees y’all!
