This is a subject that hits close to home. up until recently I was a full time single Dad. My ex has had no involvement whatsoever in the kids lives. They were 4 and almost 2 when we split, and I have had them ever since. They are now 14 and almost 11.
I always found it uncomfortable when people would treat me like I was some kind of superhero because I love being Dad, and had full custody of my children. I believe that parenthood is an exercise in sacrifice, and it has taught me much.
Did I get some odd looks @ the park? I was too busy playing w/ my kids to care or notice if other people were watching me. I do see will's point, and I tend to agree, I just don't worry about that kind of stuff.
