I really enjoy spending time with kids. Like watching them have fun, enjoy life, and have opportunities that I never have. Love being part of their life since my dad left when I was 4 and never had a father that wanted anything to do with me. Lastly I really enjoy coaching kids. Watching kids learn and improve through a season is great and I assistant coached middle school football before having kids, being able to do that with my own kids is amazing and fills something in me (sounds weird but not sure how to explain).

I really don't know. I think it was to try to get a 'that a boy' or support from wife for doing so much that a lot of other dads don't do. Sometimes it's overwhelming but 99% of the time there's nothing else I'd rather be doing then hanging with kids. I know I'd stop watching the games I mentioned above if kids came in room to play.

No, not at all. I've only ever complained about it to W and now wish I never would have

Because I'm an idiot and it never occurred to me that my wife actually believed my venting was real complaining. I thought she could read my mind and know that I love doing those things, especially since she goes to many of the events and sees how much fun all the kids and I are having.

Yes, more like a thump on the head saying 'wake up McFly'
