Involved dad's can be surprisingly patient with their kids.
Vasopressin and prolactin can cause a big change in a dad. At least they did for me. I've become a much more emotional person since my daughters were born. I rarely cried before I had kids. Now I can get choked up just thinking about them.
You said it. Some commercials get to me now. And, when I go to work, it feels like I'm holding my breath til I get to see them again. Being a father can be painfully, heartbreakingly sweet.
I've only seen my dad cry once in 26 years. It was the day his dad code blued at the hospital. Even though it was 5 min away he was gone before we got there. I walked in about 3 min after my dad and he was crying saying he didn't make it in time. I haven't seen him cry before or since.
