That makes me sad as I'm excluded from these pivotal moments in the girls' lives. I think it would be better and more fulfilling to be clueless and have a real family than be clueless and have a fractured one.
I know what you mean. I was playing tennis with a friend this weekend -- part of the GALing or just trying to fill time -- when he told me his 14-year-old daughter got asked to homecoming.
That put me in a 20-minute funk. In four years, when my D10 is a freshman, will I be there when she rushes home to tell us about getting asked to homecoming or will I be the first call she makes after she's done telling her mother?
But that's down the road thinking and doesn't do anything but cause heartache. Try to focus on what you can do today to be a good dad.
