Fathers Then & Now

Today, I read a story about fathers are much different than 100 ago. The author make some listing to compare what they are different.
1. In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family’s head, he was a success.
Today, if takes a roof, garden decking, swimming pool, and a 4-car garage. And that’s just the vacation home.
2. In 1900, fathers passed on clothing to their sons.
Today, kids wouldn’t touch Dad’s clothes if they were sliding naked down an icicle.
3. In 1900. fathers said, “A man’s home is his castle.”
Today, they say, “Welcome to the monkey pit.”
4. In 1900, when fathers entered the room. Children often rose to attention.
Today, kids glance up and grunt, “Dad, you’re invading my space.”
5. In 1900, fathers and sons would have hear-to-heart conversations while fishing in a stream.
Today, fathers pluck the headphones off their sons ears and shout. “WHENYOUHAVEAMINUTE…”

I think comapre to 100 years ago, father are much like firend today. But they also have much more pressure, obligation...
