U.S.: Obama dares us to be better dads. But what if we don’t have kids?
- We need to step out of our own heads and tune in. We need to turn off the television and start talking with our kids, and listening to them, and understanding what’s going on in their lives.
- Barack Obama • On the occasion of Father’s Day, discussing what fathers should do to be better parents. Obama, of course, famously didn’t know his father very well, and says he wants to be a better father than that. “It was only later in life that I found out that he actually led a very tragic life,” he noted. “And in that sense, it was the myth that I was chasing as opposed to knowing who he really was.” • source
