The fatherhood code goes something like this: “Others first, father last”. “Others” are one’s wife and kids and, in some cases, one’s parents and siblings.

We have been conditioned to believe that fathers should work their fingers to the bone, but also put their desires on the back burner, until all the needs of their loved ones are met.
