So, I was talking with my aunt last night and the topic came up about parenting abilities. She mentioned that she thinks I will be a great mother and I told her that I think Mr. Joe will be an even better father than I would be a mother! It's not that I think I'll be bad (I'm great with kids!), I just think Mr. Joe will be that good! She said that a mother's love is unique and no one loves the kids more than their mother, but honestly, I don't think that will be true with Mr. Joe! I totally see him as the guy talking to my preggo belly! He will WANT to spend time with the kids and play with them, even if he had a long day of work. He's a big kid himself, so they of course will love him back just as much (I'll probably be the "bad guy" lol). Honestly, Mr. Joe is an amazing husband, but I think he'll be 10x better as a dad, and I'm not exaggerating.
What are your thoughts on your SO as a father?
I know mine will be great. He acts like a big kid, but I know he's responsible and a natural caretaker (I see this with the pets and his family). When he starts making childish jokes or gets overly excited about silly stuff, I tell him this is why I know he'll make a good daddy. That usually quiets him. :)
Oh, I definitely think so. We're two goofs who enjoy making faces at little kids we see when we're out and about until they start smiling/cracking up. But we're nowhere near ready to be parents yet!
He'll be awesome but I feel like he'll budge on extra dessert and later bedtimes tho--he's such a softie sometimes, even with our dogs!
that's one of the things that got me! he's a great dad to his dog, and he's awesome with his niece. he'll definetly make the better parent.
heh, I tried telling Mr. Joe that I think he'll be an excellent dad, but he's like "but I don't even act grown up!" So I tried explaining about how kids love that, but he's is responsible and serious when he needs to be, which is perfect! He works at an animal shelter and I can see the love and devotion he has for animals that aren't even his. I can only imagine how he'll be with kids (I'm not throwing kids at him or anything, he likes them and can't wait to have them either lol)
Absolutely will my FI make a great dad. He has this way with kids and animals. He hasn't met one that doesn't like him. I mean he can make a kid come to him, that the parents say, oh so and so is shy they don't go to people they don't know, and the next thing you know, he is holding them and playing with them! So I know that our kids will be blessed to have a dad like him!!!
Mine fell into the other I'll explain b/c
YES he's already a great dad! And he's also going to be the most incredible stepdad to my son! He spends so much time with him and is loving, caring, and is now going to even be the assistant scout master for his webelos troop!
I heart T!
I think he'll be great. He's great with dogs (don't laugh! ha!), the less fortunate, and his nephew. He's very much like me in that he's not an overly gushy kind of person, but I do see a side of him that makes me realize we'll all be just fine together =].
He has a lot more confidence in this kid business than I do! I'm counting on him =P
The way my FI takes care of our pets and two younger sisters, I know he'll be a great dad. He'll probably be the "fun" parent, too!
Maybe I should add that, about already being a dad. I knew I forgot something!
I think my fiance would be great, but we're not sure we want children. We can still be a good aunt and uncle to any children my siblings might have in the future.
Absolutely! I can see it in the way he treats himself, other people, and his family. I love seeing him hang out with my 11yo brother. My dad simply hasn't been able to support us in the way he should because of his condition, so seeing my SO be such a good male influence is wonderful!!
Great topic! It was one of the criteria I used to evaluate the men that I was dating. From the moment that I met my partner, I knew that he would make an exceptional parent. He is phenomenal in his interactions with children, which is important to me as a pediatrician.
I think sometimes he feels like he's not ready for that role, but I also think he acknowledges that no one ever feels totally ready to become a parent :)
He's going to be a great dad! He's amazing with my nieces and nephews. He's got so much more patience than I do!
deefinitely, my guys is very fun and full of life- a world traveller; if we have kids I am sure he will pas on this zest for life
He'll be a great dad. He's the patient one in our relationship, so I know he'll be good with the kids.
Mr. Roddy is going to be an AMAZING father. He absolutely loves children. My niece and nephew constantly play with him and he enjoys it thoroughly. It's so great to see how he reacts to children. His first nephew on his side will be born today or tomorrow (on his birthday) and he is super excited. He has been planning the future to make sure our children and his brother's children know each other well even though we are over an hour apart.
Oh yes he'll be a good DAd. Probably better parent then I'll be. He knows when to have fun and when to be serious. Unlike me. I'm going to be the Hard A**. But I guess one of us has to! LOL
Yes, yes, and yes! He is patient, loving, and kind. He loves kids almost as much as I do. I know we both look forward to teaching our kids about the things we love.
my boy adores kids and is really extrememly patient [which is a prereq with dealing with the women in my family. LOL] and considering how quickly my two youngest nieces took to him [i had to pry one of the girls off of him!] i'm positive he'll be a fantastic father one day.
My husband is much better with children than I am. But he has six young half-siblings to interact with, whereas none of my family or friends has yet had a baby, so I lack in the opportunity to interact with children department somewhat.
My FI is already doing a great job - he has no children of his own and we are not planning to have any, but I have two from my previous marriage. One of the reasons I fell in love with him was the way he treated my children. They get everything from him that they don't get from their father.
Neither of us want kids... but if it were to happen, he'd be great!
FI will be a great dad - lots of patience (which he needs to cope with me!) and he's very loving and affectionate. He also has so many varied interests and I know he'll be active sharing all the things he knows and enjoys doing with any little ones we may get blessed with. My best friend is pregnant and his first reaction when I told him was 'that's great! can't wait til it's us! My friend couldn't believe he didn't react by freaking out (even in a joking way)
We're both very conscious that it's the next step after we get married. I cannot wait to see him as a dad.
I think so, but he's going to be scared witless at first. He's afraid of damaging anything delicate :-)
Just watching my FI with other people's kiddos makes me excited and proud to have chosen to be with someone that will make such a great dad
I voted that he is already a great dad, but "we" don't have any kids! I have a 2-year-old with an ex bf, and my FI is AMAZING with him. And he says the sweetest things about how we are BOTH everything to him and stuff. Its so cute how he gets excited about the things he wants to do with him to! :) I know that he will be a great dad with our kids too!
My bf told me during our 3rd time hanging out (before we dated, we were great friends) that I am the first person he's met that he thought would make the best mother. I laughed in his face and slapped him upside the head I think. I just thought the idea was ludicrous. Those poor children would be surrounded by the most ridiculous of antics...but hey, maybe that's a good thing. I've always thought HE would be the best parent. He's truly the most selfless, loving person I've met in my life, and its kinda funny because even though we each think the other would make an awesome parent, WE DON'T WANT KIDS. Yep. Hahaha, well, my parents think otherwise, so I guess time will tell.
I love watching my FI with his niece and nephew. He's so good with them and he's such a big kid himself, that it's perfect. And he takes such good care of me and is already talking about us having kids, that I know he'll be a great dad!
i am excited for when that time comes because he is already good with kids, but i can tell it's gonna make him more of a softie...hehe =D
absolutely!!! he treats our pets like babies and I LOVE seeing him around his own family's babies (his nephew has a 1 year old) and he is SO cute around them! plus he really wants kids - and I couldn't BE happier about that!
come june we are TTC! :D
I definitely think The Hubs will be a great dad. I didn't grow up with my dad around, so I'm really looking forward to watching my husband with our kids someday.
Mr. Buttons is one of the sweetest guys I've ever met, and I KNOW he is going to be the most amazing father ever. Am I biased? Yes...but I have a good feeling about this...
Yes, yes, yes! He's so great with kids. And honestly, I wouldn't have picked him if I thought he'd be bad with kids...they're so incredibly important to me.
My FI will be a great dad... I wouldn't be with him if I doubted his possible parenting skills in anyway. I grew up with a sh!tty dad & wanted more for my children. I know its hard to know if someone will be a good parent, but my FI is so great with kids. He's just a natural & I know he'll do the best he can to be there for our children. :)
I have a son and from day one my FI has treated my son like his own...I can see he is going to be a great father....
