I enjoyed doing a series of blogs about mom's I know, so I thought I'd do one about dads. If you know my husband, who is the first interview, you know he is a man of few words. But he answered the questions while I plied him with rhubarb crisp and ice cream.
I think it is really fun to see Matthew as a dad. He does not stress or get mad (unless Graham is having a tantrum), and he got up with me every night while still working fulltime at a job he had to commute to an hour from home. For awhile Graham went through a big mama phase, but now he loves Daddy! He wants to wear one of his dad's hats each day, wash the car with dad and he loves jumping up and down on dad.
1) Name and Age: Matthew, 30
2) Kids' Ages: Graham, almost 17 months and soon to be baby #2
3) When did you first relate to the word Dad? (Was it when someone called you dad?) Explain how you felt.
When he was born I felt like a dad. It was a life changing moment.
4) What is your favorite aspect of fatherhood?
Watching Graham change and grow up.
5) What is your least favorite aspect of fatherhood?
Him being a crybaby.
6) Who is a dad you idolize/look up to/admire?
My own dad.
7) Do you think dads ever get enough sleep?
Yeah I get enough sleep....right now. Now that Graham is sleeping through the night.
8) What advice do you have for new dads?
Be patient.
9) What is your easiest go-to dinner when your wife is not home? Frozen pizza or bratwurst.
10) What is your favorite non-dad thing to do?
Taking trips on my motorcycle.
Stay tuned to more interviews!
