Ahem, fathers do care too just a mite, although they are not fashionable among the 'progressive' elites that determine political correctness.
Just adding, not detracting from the OP.

Before I was a mum, I never learned the words to a lullaby. I never thought about immunisations. I had never been puked on, pooped on, drooled on, chewed on, or peed on. ......I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts, and my life. I slept all night.I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously ......happy ... over a simple little grin. I never sat up for hours watching some...one sleep. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.I never knew something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much before meeting them. Before I was a mum I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body..........<<<<< A young Mum
And how many times do they break that heart, but we still love them unconditionally.
Cheers!

You are spot on there Chris - unconditional love is what we give our children.
And johng - agree mate - some dads are amazing.

While I love unconditionally the children I gave birth to, I'm a bit selective these days how much I disperse at a time. It's much nice when it's reciprocated (returned). A couple of months ago I got the "love me uncondtionally" speech from my youngest. I think she meant, "You have to give me money unconditionally". It's not going to happen. My family has taken dysfunctionaly to a w h o l e NEW level never before seen. They even only love me conditionally. That is, when I can do something for them. I'd hate to have to depend on them if I have a problem or lose my mobility.

Billeeeeeee that is sooo true especially the part about your heart breaking into a million pieces when you can't stop the hurt and that carries on for the rest of your life even when they become adults....

Thanks Billie. My 29yr old son went to South Africa today. You'd think the feelings of concern would have left by now but you just reminded me of why. Its because Im a Mum.
