Father of 2 men. 27 and 29. Guys, I feel you. There is no more difficult, yet rewarding job as being a father. There is nothing better in this world than watching your kids do well at something, and nothing more heartwrenching than watching them fail at something. As a dad, you get to see both. For me, I thoroughly enjoyed the younger years. 8th grade through high school pretty much sucked. Superman had entered the picture... When they hit about 25, they figured out that dad (and mom) weren't such bad people, and did the best that they could. It came full circle, and now we are friends again. I love it when they text or call and share the trouble they have, and ask what I would do. Cat's in the Cradle. Good or bad, have patience, love them, discipline them, and enjoy every minute. Your nest will be empty sooner than later, and the fountain of youth exists for nobody, not even your kids.
