As a father of 5, I love being a dad. It’s one of the most magical things that’s happened to me. But I don’t think I’d be enjoying it half as much if I didn’t have my own dad to draw on. Not literally, obviously. I don’t pop round with a Sharpie! But my dad has always been there to look to for inspiration. “Would dad do this?” is a valuable question and one that has guided my steps.
Here he is with his youngest grandson. I hope to be as useful to mine as he has to me.
That’s lovely. Guess you have passed the “am I grown up?” test!

A great approach to being a dad, my dad has assumed the same role as a grandad as he did as a dad – he just winds up our children but being stupid :

Mine’s great with the kids, it’s me he winds up!
What a great picture… but now I want to give my kids pens to draw on their Dad!
I bet your Dad would let you draw on him with a Sharpie lol. He sounds cool 😉
A lovely photo and it is always great to having amazing parent to draw on…although i would have loved to have seen that photo…your dad with a drawn on moustache and whiskers!
5 children!? ….That is what I hope for…3 down, 2 to go!
A simple and understated post that speaks volumes. Well done you.
Lovely pic too and I am sure you will be
