If you do not act like a real man today then someday you will look back with regret, wishing that you were a better man and that you did what you were supposed to do. A real man takes responsibility for his children and actions, and would never neglect or desert his family for a new love interest. Too many men today make children and then move on, not paying child support or visiting their kids on a regular basis. Once your children are grown it is too late, and the relationship pattern has been established. The pain that you have caused your children can not be erased, and eventually you will have to answer questions about why you were never there for them and why you were such a poor role model.

A real man will stand up for what is right, pay child support to make sure their children are well cared for, and spend time with their kids to be a good role model. If you do not do this then you will look back and be sorry. Deadbeat parents do not pay, but they also do not invest the time and emotion needed to be a good father. Some men find a new woman and then take care of her and her children while neglecting their own. Instead of wishing that you were a better man in the future take the time and effort to be the best father possible today. A real man would never neglect, hurt, fail to support, or ignore their children for anyone no matter who it is.
