What is a father for? Liberals will say they have equal responsibility in raising and taking care of the children. Conservatives will tell you they bring home the bacon and discipline the children. Feminists will tell you they're for nothing. Well aside from what the feminists say, a father can be all these things. He can provide, he can care for the children, he can discipline them. But what is he really for?
A father is someone who teaches you how to ride your bike. The one who shows you how to properly throw a football. The one who scares the crap out of you when you're five years old by letting go of the steering wheel and telling you to drive. He's the one who almost gets thrown out of your t-ball game because the umpire made a bad call. He's the man who watches "Men in Tights" with you when your mom says you're not allowed. He lectures you because he loves you. He will always be proud of you. He will always be there for you.
So yes, a father can provide and discipline, but a real dad is the one you make memories with. That's the difference.
