“And on those non-workdays, pursuing activities that are child centered, or fun for the child, seems to be the best predictor of a good father-child relationship.”

However, fathers who spend lots of time helping out with child care-related tasks on workdays are developing the best relationships with their children.

...
I feel like I'm misunderstanding this article. Can someone just tell me which days to spend with my kids and what we should be doing?

Furthermore, are any of us actually spending time with our kids on "work days"?

Yeah this article is very confusing. I think they are trying to say that dads who go play golf or watch tv all weekend aren’t forming good relationships with their kids. Spend more time doing stuff your kids like on the weekends when there is less structured activity.

On the weekday thing. It seems to imply that when dads try to play with the kids, it’s taking away from tasks that need to happen. And weekday time is better spent on doing tasks that need to happen. Play during the weekdays actually isn’t all that important.

This article actually makes me feel great. I do spent a ton of time with my kids on the weekends doing stuff they like mostly. Park, pool, games, etc. During the week, I’m not always around. And when I am I try to go play catch with my oldest or play a game with my younger kids. And it’s never enough time. They actually get mad when we have to stop. So maybe I should try being more a part of the routine

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽

Anyone feel as if it’s hard to stay with a company when you’re the only one of color? (&young) I’ve work for 3 companies in past 5 years and have yet to make meaningful colleague relationships.

I feel it takes away some of the joy of having to go to work.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
