I just recently responded to a discussion that really made me think this one up. The discussion was about dead beat dad's and how a father never called his son on his bday. Now I have 3 daughters my two eldest have the same dad and my baby has another dad. The drama and headaches that I have had to deal with putting up with my older daughters father was hell. He never wanted to be there and it always felt like I had to push my daughters on him in order for him to even be involved.
Things have however over the years gotten much better with him and it isn't so stressful anymore.
Now for the whole point of the hero cookie comment ... lol! My baby who is now almost 2 has a different dad then my 2 older daughters and I am telling you he is an amazing father. He has been there since day one and as much as I hate to say it he is probably even better then me ... lol! He loves her to death and he has a hard time going even a day without her. She is truly lucky to have a father like him in her life. I don't know just how many fathers like him that there are out there but he defiantely does deserve a hero cookie in my books. How about you ladies when it comes to the father part in your child's life what is your take? Deadbeat? Or hero cookie ... lol?

Well my oldest son his father is a deadbeat lives like 2 blocks from us and has not seen his son for over a year. Does not pay any kind of support. But, that all okay in my sons eyes. because my daughters father is a great dad to both of my kids I could not ask for a better father he is just wonderful. Not only taking care of our daughter but my son from another man. So I must say that he should get a hero cookie!

Yuppers I agree he is definately hero cookie material for sure for sure. It takes a big man to raise children up as their own and the ones that are out there all deserve hero cookies in my eyes. My daughters father also plays a big role in both my older daughters lives as well and his influence is wonderful.

My husband has wanted to be there for his children, but their mothers have not always made it easy for him. I am the fourth wife, and LAST haha Three divorces, 10 kids (6 bio, 4 adopted but he calls them all his kids), and he does what he can to be with them. Now they are adults and old enough to make their own decisions.
I'd say Hubby deserves a hero cookie.

My husband and the father of our 3 children definately deserves a hero cookie! He is and always has been a great dad. We have 2 older daughters and (dont tell anyone because he may be embarrassed) he played tea party,sang silly songs,played barbies,and kissed boo-boos.He had his share of trying to fix hair and pony-tails too. He has taken care of our 1yr old son while I go to work and they sleep and eat together in the recliner. All 3 of our children would at times rather have him than me. He is definately hero cookie material!

That is great I am glad to hear that there are other hero cookie father's out there. Before I met the man that I am with now my youngest daughter's father I was starting to think there was no such thing. Your daughters are definately lucky to have him in their lives as there are so many little girls and little boys that don't have the opportunity to have this gift in life.
