Why Being a “Cool Dad” Doesn’t Matter to Me Anymore
Being a “cool dad” used to seem important, but I’ve realized it’s not what truly matters. Parenting is about building trust, setting boundaries, and being a reliable role model for your kids. Instead of focusing on being cool, I now prioritize creating meaningful moments and teaching valuable life lessons. Kids don’t need a perfect or trendy parent—they need someone who genuinely supports and understands them. Embracing this has made me a better dad and strengthened my relationship with my children.
