This is a better father/daughter connection song. Honestly, there is so many father/daughter songs out there. IT is even worse when you hear them as a father to a daughter.

I listened twice. It played again before I could compose myself.
I do love her first.
Lilly along with mom and Sparty.
Your right I had the privilege of being my only daughter matron of honor so this song meant a ton to the 2 of us

I’m not going to lie I’ve live a charmed life but the song struck everyone... as I said I had the honor/ privilege to be my daughter matron of honor so when she asked me to helped her pick the best song ...... well that song was perfect and I’m not a big country fan lol.
Good luck your going to need it lol

One of the things I'm still struggling with is how I can be the best father to my kids while enjoying my work. Right now, I still get time with my kids before I go to work and with two days off during the week, it isn't bad. Once both kids his kindergarten and above, if I'm on a m-f 4pm to midnight shift, I will miss things. I want my kids to get into sports, but I don't want to depend on others to get them to games and practice. I don't neccarily want day shift (if that is ever an option) either. I also don't want to leave my field as I'm going to be getting more money per hour starting next year then any years past including after 17.5 years at my previous job. My job is also enjoyable and I have been in the field for 20 years. How do I balance both career, family and myself? Bad part right now is that I work noon to 8pm every weekend, that just kills even weekend family time.

Balance is so hard.
We had three kids in 33 months. Three.
When they started hitting HS I gave up my position in global management and took a position that was less lucrative. It was such a good decision. The time with kids has been so worth it.

Law enforcement is still a great career for the right person. He must be a strong and convicted man.
Nice work, dad.

Read about that. Things have gotten so bad they're hiring convicts.

Sorry to bring this back up, but I am curious. Were you able to solve?
So many opportunities these days.

I don’t go in at noon anymore, so sorta. Switched departments so I start at 3. When not in school, allows for more time on weekends. It is a great solution, not totally but I like my job so I really don’t want to leave. Plus paying 15 an hour in my area is really good.

I had almost forgotten about this thread. Our oldest is a Sophomore at KU and hasn't washed out of the Aerospace Engineering program yet. It's been rough but he's still clinging to his academic scholarship. Our youngest is a Sophomore in high school. He's not quite as studious as his big brother but he's keeping his grades up. He's like a celebrity with all of the old folks at the nursing home that he is a dietary aid at. We were starting to wonder if he was ever going to grow and then he had his sports physical. He had grown 9 1/2" in the last 18 months. He hadn't played any sports this year up until now but he started tennis a couple weeks ago. It will be good to start leaving work early again to watch some sporting events.

Outstanding!
The Mrs. and I think Jr. may have found the girl he's going to marry. She's a perfect fit for our family all the way around...and she comes with a luxury suite at M&T and Capital One...
