Well, they say that daughters are close to dads and they tend to gel well. But, somewhere along the way, we tend to maintain a gap and move away from our dads. We approach our moms first and ask them to help us in all the situations that come our way. We often don’t understand that the man who gives cold stares, is the backbone of our family and is actually expecting you to talk to him more. Yes, dads don’t express much, but when it comes to their daughters or sons, they would want to be a protection and a shield. He work relentlessly day in and out and what do we do to him in return?
We tend to ignore him, we tend to not pay too much heed to his words and sometimes even ignore his calls. Well, father’s day just went by and I happened to read so many ‘I love you dad’, ‘You are the best’ statuses on Facebook and Twitter. I thought to myself – Do we say all this on other days to their face that they are awesome? Of course, we don’t! So, let’s just spare ten minutes of our day, sit with our dads and talk to them about things they would want to know. So guys, try to get down your high horse and just show the man how much he means to you. Here are some reasons why you should talk to your dad more.
Top Reasons Why You Should Talk to Your Dad More
1Because he actually wants to
Dads don’t initiate. Yes, they just don’t try to initiate because they don’t know how to. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to know what is happening in your life. He very much would love to have a tea with you and discuss things. But, he won’t ask for it! Just quietly come and sit next to him. Even if you don’t start the conversation, you will see your dad picking up a topic to discuss within 5 minutes.
2He definitely knows more
Dads are both sensitive and stern. So, you can’t pull the rant of talking about your boyfriend. Talk to him about your career, what’s trending in life now or maybe how tough it is to adjust in the new workplace. He will guide you through it and will be able to suggest decisions for you.
3Because the man cares a lot
4Because he has given you everything
Our education wasn’t inexpensive, nor were those demands. Your dad probably pulled a shift or two extra to cover all those demands. He made sure you got the best. So, the least all of us could do is to talk to him more and give him the feeling that he is important to us.
5You are still five for him
6He will just be there for you
When your dad realizes that you spend time with him or take that special effort to converse, he will feel like the hero of the universe. He will feel over joyed and he will proudly share his experiences and his failures with you. Make that happen often and you will see a different dad!
Here’s to my dad and all the beautiful experiences he has given me till date!
