my hubby likes children in general, but he doesn't gush over them as much as i do. when we were still going out, i can barely imagine him cuddling our baby, talking to her and being patient with her in every way. i mean, he was the "macho" type, the one who does not show his emotions to others that easily. but just last night, when our baby had a fever because of her vaccines, i saw my husband as a man who i've dreamt for so long, a man who would be a good father to my child. he was so patient with her, even at three am when he is groggy from sleepiness.
so in my husband's case, even though he does not prattle about children like i do, he proved to me that i have chosen the right man to be the father of my child

no it is not an assurance. being a good father does not define your love or like for kids. as you know in our culture father is more on the cash side, on the work side, you cannot expect them to hold the kids, to kiss them always, to wash them. They think those kind of work is for the mom, that we are expert of those. My husband, during our 5 years of having a kid and having 3 kids, never experienced putting a diaper on the kids. He just expect me to do it. and if my memory serves me right, he only wash the kids less than ten times since they were born. when the kids gets up in the middle of the night he don't care, he won't have the patient to get them back to sleep. when the kids cry he would get irate most of the times. he is not very patient with the kids, but I knew he loves our kids so much. He shower them with toys, he protects them when I get mad. those kind of things..
a man who loves children does not mean he would be good father but a good father loves his children ( what ever way he show it to them)

Definitely a man who loves children will make a good father . Men are not like women in expressing how they feel and they are not prone to gushing over children but you can tell when a man will make a good father just in the way he talks or interacts with children .
My husband is the macho type to but he is a wonderful father . He takes the time to sit on the floor and play with the younger one's but is just as quick to let them know when they are doing something wrong . If one of the children is sick and I am not around he calls me to find out what he should do as this is not really his area , more because he really just doesn't know what to do for them .
