Hi guys, I'm Luke. I'm the founder of The Full Focus Dad. Never gonna pretend I'm perfect. All I'll show you is that I'm present.
When I was a Kid, I swore I'd be a better dad than mine. He left at 2. I saw him every other weekend. and of a Tuesday to take my sister to gymnastics. I lived with him for a year at 13. but he couldn't cope as I got into a bad crowd, he couldn't handle me. So he abandoned me yet again.
years later. I said those same words. I'll be better yet I ended up like him. I was just a worker, a money supply. Not a dad at all to my daughter. The money didn't make the family stronger, it broke everything, I lost everything and I'm paying the price now reconnecting with my daughter in the midst of being a new dad to my son.
But now I've changed everything. I don't want my son to grow up saying " I wanna be better than my dad". I want him to say " I wanna be exactly like my dad". Yes I work hard but I'm there. Present. Giving Love, care, attention. Making memories with him, not just for him.
Now let's get this real talk started: What's one thing you wish you'd known when you first became a Dad? Drop it below.
