My first Gratitude List, I'm a little behind: I have a great job that I love that gives me good benefits. My wife is still enduring a job that she doesn't care for which takes away from her time with her daughter to keep the family afloat until we find something better. No matter how bad my day is or how sad I am, my daughter never fails to cheer me up. She's just into the habit of giving me hugs and kisses when I get home from work and it's great! My extended family that's incredibly supportive and available to watch the kid when my wife and I would like some time alone. My daughter wants to play with me a lot. Growing up I didn't have very many friends and no one in my family wanted to play with me very often, so it feels great to have that connection with someone and being able to provide that connection with her.

I know how you feel. When my phone updates with this podcast I listen to it no matter what podcast I'm currently listening to or half way done with.

I love listening to this podcast. I have a daughter that's 2 and I've never had a good male role model growing up. Being a dad has been something that I've had to piece together on my own since I started the journey. I would be interested to hear your guys' stories on your dads/male role models. Not having one growing up makes me curious how others feel having one and how it affects their lives and the lives of their children.

I've got to agree with what David was talking about when money comes in after a baby. I was unemployed when our daughter was born and just a month after I found a great job and I've been here for 2 years now.
