What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
It's hard to say if there is one particular part that's the most rewarding but what I can say is defiantly the thing I love the most is that I'm always going to be dad in their eyes. No matter what happens during the day I know they can come to dad and be the comfort they need or the shoulder to cry on. So most rewarding would be knowing they can always come to me and I'll always be there for them.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I strive to be the best dad I can be because my dad always worked and wasn't always able to spend time with me and I felt like I missed alone time with him (having 5 kids). I work almost every day but no matter what I always find time for my girls, I could have taken a job that pays 4x the amount I make right now but It requires me to be away for two weeks at a time and no amount of money is worth loosing time with my daughters.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would probably use it to pay off some debt that would ease some of the financial stress so then I could spend more time with my girls. I've always wanted to take them to Hawaii to ride some waves swim in the ocean and just get away from the craziness of everyday life. Would put a little aside for both of them in a account so when they are older they might have enough to put towards a house or school but it could help with what ever they wanted to do in life.
