What makes a good husband and father?

Question

Serious answers please. What if one of his children has special needs....and the others have a "need for their father". His wife is a stay at home mom because of the "special needs". What would his actions need to be/show in order to be considered a good husband and father?

Answer 1

Just love them, be patiend ,kind and understanding.Tell them you love them everyday and show it.

Answer 2

be supportive to what you do with the special needs child, and spend quality interaction with the child or with any therapies the child may be receiving. For him to take over some times for you to have a break, or maybe a moms day out so you can re charge.

For the other children who just need their dad, he could try to spend a certain day or time with them either individually, or together where they are the focus of his attention, and he asks them about their interests and how they feel who they like as friends, & what they are interested in.

It sounds like an enormous task for the man to perform so he will also need your help. If he is spending the quality time with the special needs child, maybe you could have the other kids so the time seems more intimate. And when he has the other kids you take the special needs child closer to you,& allow more one on one for them with their dad.

And lastly he too will need just a day for himself so he can relax. Sharing the duties is a big job but if you work as a team & allow each of you individual time for yourself & with the kids you should feel better about the time being shared & the whole responsibility not being on just one of you.

Answer 3

a good husband is someone that can't wait to get back home to converse, love, share, talk, smile, help, and simply be with his wife.

show his love and how much you really mean to him.

and the same with the kids, only with the add on of being a mentor, a teacher, a helper, a caregiver, and a protector and being the best dad you can be day in and day out with lots and lots and lots of love

Answer 4

I think my hubby is a good father because HE IS NOT PERFECT. He is not always understanding but, HE IS ALWAYS THERE!. He gets mad at our kids. He has lost his temper. He loves our kids more then life. He is a good father because we have never once done without what we needed or just wanted. He is a protector a provider a rock for his family. A father don't always know what right "nor dose a mother" what makes a good parent is one that tries to do right. A good father is there for his children his wife. A good father is not always what the mom thinks is good sometimes you need to accept Dad has a way that is not yours but, that don't mean it's WRONG. All kids havespecial needs that is not really what the issue is about. If the father takes no time for his kids or wife don't not protect or provide he's not being a Father.

Answer 5

I can easily say my husband is a great husband and father.  When we married we accepted our kids from prior marriages. He has 2 daughters and I have a son.  He is helping my son go to college.  That is love.  I adore his daughters too and they love me.

Answer 6

he would need to be a hard working man to take care of the money needs, come home and show them how much he cares and not fight alot with them, be very understanding, want to go out and do stuff with his family when he is off

Answer 7

That he is a good provider and leader and is the man of the house.  He takes charge but it is nice and loving about it.

Answer 8

Give them your full attention when you are there with them. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have my husband come in eat, bathe, and then "plug in" to anything but us...I've spent more time talking to the side of his head than I care to remember.  He always says"I'm here aren't I?"  No, not really.  Play with your kids, play with your wife!!  Make them laugh..This world is so full of serious, and rush, that we turn around and it's been 10 years...Have a "costume dinner night" , climb onto the roof to look at the stars, pillow fights are good, the best thing you can do for them is to give them the best of you.  That's a hero!
