I hear a lot of fathers complain they don’t have enough time to be engaged dads. That fatherhood is hard. I work two jobs, sixty hours a week or more. I commute. I have another child and a wife. I have friends, membership in a professional organization, and four author groups.

I’ve got medical issues and I’m crippled in one leg. I’ve got PTSD from multiple traumas over decades. I’ve got debt and financial struggles. And I make time for my kids so that when they reenact the father-child bond in play, the toy daddy is an engaged father.

Stuff like this makes being a Dad awesome! My daughter is almost 5 and thinks she doesn't need them. I got her down for an hour and a half today though
