“Daddy finds time for things that are important to him, no matter his job. We’re not important to him; that’s why he stays away at work, sneaks home at night when he thinks we were asleep, and has no need to talk with us. In the morning he bolts away very early to avoid talking to us too. We know this is what is happening. I don’t like it. If he hates us, I hate him too.”
With teary eyes, and my heart pounding real fast, I looked in the direction of Mbubuchi who was standing in the kitchen, a plate in hand. I expected him to say something to correct his older brother and defuse the sudden tensed atmosphere. Instead, he stood there looking equally defiant.
“Okay, children. I promise to talk things over with you when you return from school today. I’ll call daddy too and try to get him to come home to talk to us today.”
“Mommy, don’t waste your time,” Lazana insisted, walking away to pick his backpack as he got set to go to school. “He won’t come. He’ll give his usual excuses. I don’t expect much from him, anyway.”

Hmmm, any man can father a child but not every man that can be a dad in a child’s life. Father influences his children relationship. He is a role model. Father must be ready to spend quality time with his children because they need him. Don’t be among those fathers that will regret later in life for not having more quality time with their children when they were younger.
