GUILTY OF DELINQUENCY
Father Story # 1: A dad routinely dispensed his daughter’s allowance every Sunday night. She knew where to find it when she got up on Monday morning. One Sunday night he forgot to leave the allowance. When he got home from work on Monday evening, he found this note from his daughter: “I believe you are guilty of delinquency in contributing to a minor.” It appears to me that many of us fathers are guilty of delinquency when it comes to contributing to and participating in the lives of our children. Fathers, we’re fooling only ourselves when we think our youngsters don’t need our active involvement. From Ray Franklin Koonce, “Model of Maleness,” Living with Preschoolers magazine, Jan – Mar, 1992, pgs. 30-31
