Maybe it was a stressful day, a disagreement, or a disappointment. What do you think he walked away believing about how men handle hard things?

Re: Masculinity “What does it mean to raise a good man right now - and does that definition look different than 20 years ago?” (You missed a good one…I interviewed myself. But I forgot to push record otherwise, I would’ve shared the in depth conversation 🤪)

Hi everyone, Chris here from the UK. Adoptive father to my amazing son and favourite human Kai who is currently 10 years old 🌞 I was happy to join after a great chat with @Gino Hijada today. I look forward to getting to know you all 🙏🏻

Mine was playing golf with him. Doing something together seemed to be our thing vs. talking and connecting in a more emotional manner. I do wonder how much closer (figuratively since he's in the Philippines) we'd be - had we had more meaningful conversations. Good news is, I nudged him into opening up/being a much more present Grand and Great Grandfather now!

I had seen what seemed to be a father & son, in my neighborhood, changing a tire together. I can't remember the last time I saw this - except for when I taught my sons how to change a tire. And it inspired me. My goal is to teach my son this week something/anything that will be useful...even if rarely needed. I think it'd be badass for all of us to make the attempt to do some version of this. It may incite eyerolls or a "Why do I need to know this?" But it's the memory that will matter. If you have a favorite recipe, hobby, skill that your son may not know you have, etc. - do it with him and report back what happens. And I'll do the same! (Picture is a bonus)
