can you tell me if I am a good dad?

Sacrificing your wants in order to satisfy your childrens needs is a great quality for a father to have. Of course yuor need are important too, spending a little on some new underwear is not a bad thing. I also like the fact that you get your children involved in religion, so many of the children that go to my sons school I'm willing to bet haven't even been to a church since they were baptized. It is nice to see such traditions are still being up held elsewhere outside of my family. I would say that you are a pretty good dad, also remember that your children also need you to be there spiritualy and emotionaly for them as well as finacially. You need to be able to listen to them and help them when they are facing hard times in theirs lives and help guide them in the right directions as they grow older, keeping them on they straight and narrow. I do applaude your methods so far and will keep you in my thoughts and pray you get those new underwear you so desperately seem to need.

I do believe that you are doing great. Your life is all dedicated to your family and not only to yourself. I think sometimes you deserved to pampered even for a short while. It doesn't have to be costly that would take away the budget alloted for your family. I guess just rewarding yourself with something is not bad at all. Congratulation by the way.

Yes, you are a very good father indeed. When you give to your children, it shows that you are a very mature father. You have to plant the seed in order for the tree to grow.
