Now, I have a baby this year. I hope he will grow normally from year to year. Sometimes I worry that I could not be a model for my children in my family. A father must have good character to be a good example for their children. Any of you have the same worry? I hope that everything will go on well.

hi there pormadi, indeed it is very difficult to be a role model to children. that, no matter how careful you are in your moves, they will always have questions in mind to throw out for you. and as you keep on responding on them, they tend to keep on questioning you with their unending query. so in this regard, it is really difficult to be a parent. futhermore, it is really hard to be a role model to them.

It is always easier said than done. Being a model to our kids depends on their character and interests. Of course we must teach our kids values and moral in this life. But we should not influence our kids what we want in this life. Being a model is to live a clean life, and not preaching them what they should do. We wonder why there are good couples/parents in our neighborhood having bad kids. No parents ever want to raise a bad kid- but it happens. Once kids grow up and mingled with other people, they are beyond our control. All we can do is to guide them and never get tired of giving them advice as well.

I do agree with you. Family is the good place for children to get good way of life (good characters). It is walways easier said than done.

I am not till married and I am not thinking about much about it. It is very important to have some one has to be the role model for the children. No one is not perfect in this world. So it is very difficult to show an role model.
