28 Rules for Fathers of Sons
1. Love his
Mother. He will learn to love like you love, and hate like you hate. So
choose love for both of you. Devote yourself to it. Love with your whole
heart and express that love each and every day. Then, someday down the road,
you will see the way he loves his own wife, and know that you played a part
in that.
2. Let him
drive. Every child remembers the first time they drove on daddy’s lap. For
that one moment, he will believe that he is just. like. you.
3. Teach him
to be picky. Especially when it comes to women and burgers. Teach him to
never settle.
4. Take him
to a ball game. There is something about sharing a day of hot dogs, sunshine
and baseball with your father.
5. Love with
Bravery. Boys have this preconceived notion that they have to be tough. When
he is young, he will express his love fully and innocently. As he grows, he
will hide his feelings and wipe off kisses. Teach him to be a man who rubs
them in instead. It takes courage for a man to show love: teach him to be
courageous.
6. Talk about
sex. Sometimes, boys need to know that all men are created equal.
7. Teach him
to be a man’s man. Show him how to be brave and tough around the guys. Then,
remind him on the ride home that it is okay to cry.
8. Share
secrets together. Communicate. Talk. Talk about anything. Let him tell you
about girls, friends, school. Listen. Ask questions. Share dreams, hopes,
concerns. He is not only your son, you are not only his father. Be his friend
too.
9. Teach him
manners. Because sometimes you have to be his father, not just his friend.
The world is a happier place when made up of polite words and smiles.
10. Teach him
when to stand-up and when to walk away. He should know that he doesn’t have
to throw punches to prove he is right. He may not always be right. Make sure
he knows how to demand respect- he is worthy of it. It does not mean he has
to fight back with fists or words, because sometimes you say more with
silence.
11. Teach him
to choose his battles. Make sure he knows which battles are worth fighting-
like for family or his favorite baseball team. Remind him that people can be
mean and nasty because of jealousy, or other personal reasons. Help him to
understand when to shut his mouth and walk-away. Teach him to be the bigger
better person.
12. Let him
dance in tighty whiteys. Dance alongside him in yours. Teach him that there
are moments when it is okay to be absolutely ridiculous.
13. Share
music. Introduce him to the classics and learn the words to the
not-so-classics. Create a rock band with wooden instruments, share your
earphones, and blast Pink Floyd in the car. Create a soundtrack to your lives
together.
14. Let him
win. Sometimes he needs to know that big things are possible.
15. Teach him
about family. Let him know family is always worth fighting for. Family is
always worth standing up for. At the end of the day, he has you to fall back
on, and pray to God that you will have him.
16. Father
him. Being a father—to him—is undoubtedly one of your greatest
accomplishments. Share with him the joys of fatherhood, so one day he will
want to be a father too. Remind him over and over again with words and kisses
that no one will ever love him like you love him.
17. Listen to
him now. If you don’t listen to the little things now, he won’t share the big
things later.
18. Let him
try on your shoes. Even if they are old and smelly. Let him slip his little
feet in and watch him as he hopes like hell that someday he can fill them. He
will fill them.
19. Give him
bear hugs. The kind that squeezes his insides and make him giggle. The kind
of hug only a daddy can give.
20. Give him
baths. Because Mom can’t do everything damnit.
21. Teach him
how to pee standing up. Let him pee outside- such is the joy of being a man.
Mom cannot teach this talent, so someone has to.
22. Know the
answers. He will assume you do. If you don’t know them, pretend you do and
look them up later.
23. Toss him
around. Because little boys love seeing the strength of their father. Throw
him up in the air, so that he knows you will always be there to catch him on
his way down.
24. Ask his
mother. He will come to you with questions that he won’t always want to ask
his mother, about girls and about love. Ask her anyway, she will know the
answers.
25. Love him
like you would love a daughter. Little girls are not the only ones who need
hugs and kisses. Love is the color yellow of emotions. It is both happy and
gender neutral.
26. Grow a
big belly. Because every child should get the chance to rest their head on
the absolute softest pillow ever. Daddy’s belly is the best place to land.
27. Don’t
say, do. American inventor Charles F. Kettering once said, “every father
should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his
advice.” Be a good one.
28. Be his
hero. You are anyway. To him, you have the strength of Batman, the speed of
Spiderman and the brain of Ironman. Don’t disappointment. Prove to him that
Daddy’s are the biggest heroes of all. Only Daddy’s can save the day.
After all,
good fathers make good sons.

Fatherhood
Fatherhood meant..
1. Eating at
Jollibee or McDonalds (used to, Cairo’s a big guy now) even if you crave for a
piping hot pizza or steak.
2. Eating his
leftover food even if it looks dirty and messy and tastes disgusting (re:baby
food).
3. Being overjoyed
upon seeing him smile his silly smile or learn something for the first time.
4. Letting go so
he could face the tough world outside of home not knowing what would happen.
5. Not minding
being the only ‘stage’ father in school and all the ‘where is his mom?’
questions.
6. Teaching him
the subject you hate the most, Math and pretending you’re good at it (Cairo:
Dad, you don’t have to pretend, I know).
7. Conceding to
buy some of the ‘luhos’ after hours of ‘no you can’t take that, you don’t need
it and no we don’t have enough money’ haggling (Cairo: who’s the boss?).
8. Being
‘superman’ every time, all the time. And yes, he is my kryptonite.
9. Having miles
and miles of patience and tonnes and tonnes of understanding (Cairo: do you
always have to exaggerate?).
10. Sacrificing
my happiness for his and breaking all the rules I've set with no regret at all.
