Taking them to sit in the family stand, makes me feel like a Dad.
Good school reports* and seeing the oldest score a goal at his footy make me very proud of them.
Any teacher types out there - oldest is in year 5 and got '5A to 5C' for his various subjects this year. What exactly does this mean, please, thank you.

Having in depth knowledge of Ben 10, Power Rangers and Transformers makes me feel like a Dad..

It means his father should read up on 'levels and grades explained' in his report. Or maybe you could do it.
I don't need to read up on anything. I have NSC, wikipedia and google images. The holy trinity of all knowledge.
Oh, and I neednt worry too much about parentage. He is the IMAGE of me, so I think I'm okay

I once told my wife during a drunken arguement that our oldest wasn`t even hers.

Seeing my eldest (6yrs ) score his first goal, in his first game of little league 'soccer'.
And then jumping six feet in the air yelling "get the f*** in there you beauty!"
And then being bollocked by the other parents for being inappropriate.
And then doing it again when he scored another

I f***ing LOVE being a Dad
My children are 19, 16, 7 and 6 and every day they do stuff that makes me proud. They can be complete TURDS at times but the good stuff WAY makes up for the crap.

Without wanting to be patronising, you're young and you might well find things change. They did for me. I never wanted kids until my my thirties. The thing is, many of those things that you want to do become less appealing as you get older.
My son is only 8 months and receiving my first fathers day card made me well up on Sunday.
Outrage makes me feel like a Dad. I caught his Great Auntie letting her dog lick his face on Sunday. I could have taken her life with my bare hands (that applies to the Auntie and the dog).
Seeing them develop as people.
Take my eldest for example. His Mum was my second wife and has had to see her health deteriorate over the years as MS took hold of her and eventually killed her last year. He lived with his Grandparents for 4 years from the age of 4 whilst we fought for custody and then saw both these grandparents die within 6 months of each other 4 years ago. He's coped with all of this and has developed into an outstanding Young Man. He got 11 GCSEs, 5 A Levels and has just got a FIRST for his first year at University. For all this, he's not a speccy geeky type - he loves life and all the stuff teenagers should do. His Mum's real health deterioration came when he was in the middle of his A Levels and he managed to stay focused and was unbelievably strong when his Mum died. We have supported him so much but a lot of what he has achieved has been down to HIM and we are so proud of him.
My eldest daughter is 16 and it's like having a fantastic breath of fresh air around us all day. She can be a f***ing pain in the ARSE but she is funny, witty, intelligent and just GREAT to be around. I love her to bits.
The little ones aren't so little now but they are just great kids who love life.
THAT's why I love being a DAD. It's bloody hard work but when you get the good stuff back it makes it all worthwhile. And the 7 year old knows the first 2 verses of GOSBTS and is working on the rest.

Seriously, what's more rewarding, challenging and important than bringing up the next generation of human beings?
I'm 37 with 2 kids and this may amaze you, but I still drink, have sex and play football. I try to stick to 90 though.
