Father’s Day: What Dads Love Most About Fatherhood

Father’s Day is right around the corner, so we decided to celebrate fatherhood by turning to the dads of our tiny fans with a single question:

What do you love most about being a father?

If there’s one thing we know, the answers are sure to make you smile.

Saying I love being a father, is an understatement. It has given me a purpose that I didn’t have before. The opportunity to shape an individual is a responsibility that changes a person! But what I didn’t expect was, while I was focused on teaching her, she was in turn teaching me…about myself and about what kind of world I want her to grow up in. Seeing the world through her eyes has taught me to appreciate so much more and focus on what is really important.

Being called “papa” a thousand times a day is itself the best thing that has happened to me ❤️

I love the joy in my daughter’s eyes when I get home and walk through the door. As a lineman, I’m away for work a lot and I soak up every ounce of time I can when I am home with her. Also, just having someone look up to me and copy everything I do!

My little girl is 4 months old this week! My favorite thing is getting the biggest smile and giggle every morning when I wake her up 😊 The silver lining of this pandemic is that I’ve been at home to see her grow and reach new milestones every day! There is no better feeling.

I love the excitement he sees in my eyes when I come home from work. When I see him and how happy he is, it makes any bad day good.

The unconditional love and trust I receive from my kiddo give me indescribable joy!

Seeing my little girl start to understand how much I love her and show it in return.

What I love most about being a father is the unwavering love and strength she has bestowed upon me, how simple it is to make her happy, and our daddy-daughter bonding time. Being a girl dad is just priceless!

Seven, @luckybabyseven

What I love the most about being a father is watching my handsome baby grow and, as a father, teaching him and realizing I lead by example. So it keeps me on point to be the best father I can be! Being a father showed me how to love and how to show affection more! And it showed me how to be responsible and prioritize. 💙

Every day is special with Akira. She wakes up with a smile and that just makes my day. Having a daughter is so special! I love doing funny things with Akira and then wait for her cute laugh. Akira is such a delightful and fun-loving kid.

Hemant, @pookie_akira

The laughs and all the smiles I get from my children… just seeing them happy.

Although we believe that fatherhood comes in all shapes and sizes and should be celebrated 365 days a year, the entire B. team would like to say: Happy Father’s Day!
