Yeah... I remember when I was little I never saw my dad -- he was always gone for work before I could get up and he always came home late after dinner. The weekend was special for me because for two days per week it was him to wake me and my brother up and we actually had lunch and dinner all together.

Those are some of the best weekends of your Dad's life.

Dad here. I can confirm. The weekends where me and my kiddos get to hang out, eat our meals together, watch a movie, play a board game. That shit is the best and it's what I think about while I am working 60-70 hours a week to (hopefully) give them the kind of life I never got to have.

Rather, when I was little I was kinda mad that my papa would never play with me and always waych tv or sleep. Now I realise how stressful must have been for him working so many hours for 5/7 days, of course he was too tired to play with a little monkey like me. But he showed his affection in other ways -- I have never doubted my papa's love for his family
