One of the things that I have enjoyed most about being a father is the fact that I get to watch my kids grow up. The truth of the matter is that I love seeing my kids mature as they go into their teenage years. What is even better is that there are many opportunities for me to actually get involved in their lives because my wife is able to help them with all of the homework assignments and such. While some women may not feel as emotionally connected to their kids as some older women, the bottom line is that the bond that is formed between mom and her kids will last a lifetime and it can be very important..
