You will know them for most of their lives.
Become successful, become someone they want to be.
At some point you have to look to the future or at least plan for it if the here and now can not be helped.
You will have a much greater influence on your kids if they see you as someone who led a successful and illustrious life and who waited night and day to be with them again.
But you have to be cool and independent. You’ve got to be the cool parent but also the respected parent.
If your wife married a bad guy and he hurts your kids then you have to kill him.
Otherwise there is not much you can do at the moment besides make yourself into someone your kids, even as adults will want to emulate.
The sad truth of parenthood is you will always love your kids more than they love you.
They will realize it far too late when they themselves have kids who grow into adults.
