DaddyYo loves you!

Love is not something DaddyYo's usually talk about, not sure why. I'm going to try and figure it out.

Love is as much a DaddyYO thing as it's a MommyYO thing. Its a human thing. There's no denying it. However, more parenting sites/books speak to MommyYO if at all DaddyYO. Why is that? (Love the Dad-blog!)

Those DaddyYo’s who tell and teach their LittleYo's the meaning of Love from the start, probably went through hard times in their own lives to truly understand the word; which makes these DaddyYo’s tougher than most. However, lack of communicating this LOVE and caught up in the old ways of the world in which we were raised has put DaddYO in the back chapters of parenting books and on the 2nd string "parent team".

Love is a powerful thing, almost alien. Love overrides those less useful emotions like hate, insecurity etc. Therefore, the more we say "I Love you" to our LittleYo’s the more we're both empowered as human beings. The more human powers we can control, like our emotions, the more we control our situational outcomes. The sooner you understand this, the better you are off in this crazy world.

We DaddyYo’s need to step it up and not only be more of a teacher of this most important and powerful emotion but to communicate it more openly. Don’t worry; it won’t make your pecker any smaller.

No Dude wants to share his full range of emotions, especially love. When was the last time you’re drinking beers with your buddies, playing poker talking about love? Sounds funny, not sure why it is…I guess its how we were raised as kids, social acceptance and gender specific behavior that effects who we become as adults. We are taught this from birth like having your room painted blue for boys and pink for girls. I’m not saying for us men to sit around for hours talking about Love…C’mon!

I know, It’s a sensitive DaddyYo subject. We are all at fault. For example when I'm sad, I don't cry, I scream and yell (never at MommyYo!) at the top of my lungs because it more gender appropriate response for a man to scream rather than cry. I’m cool with it. It’s what I learned and how I was programmed growing up. Another example, reading this blog entry about “Love” (I can’t even believe some of the things I’m writing) the whole thing sounds gay. This is all a clear testament of the change that needs to take place within us, DaddyYo’s. I’m not scared.

The lesson learned is simple; by not communicating and sharing this intense emotion we not only dwarf our own spiritual and family growth but have passed on the "meat head" genes to our LittleYo’s. We all want the best for our LittleYo’s, our families and for Meat heads to just go away. Maybe someday parenting sites and books will reference more of the DaddyYO and give us the credit and recognition we deserve.

Remember, DaddyYO loves you!
