Another instalment in our regular parenting column by advisor, writer and mother of three, ORLA BREEZE.
Sometimes I think about dads. Not like that! Come on people, lift your minds out of the gutter. I mean in a caring way. A compassionate way. It’s just a part of what I do. Working with them, that is – not randomly thinking about them. This is getting awkward – let’s move on. My point is that sometimes I think about dads and I wonder how they are managing to be the dad that they thought they would be, or the dad they had dreamed of being, or any kind of dad at all. I used to think that it was us mums who had the short end of the stick but nowadays it’s looking more like the men who are under pressure to be the kind of parent that even I don’t understand.
Allow me to elaborate.
