"When you put your trust in your dad, he will feel the responsibility of that trust and try harder than ever to understand and to help. As your father, he is entitled to inspiration on your behalf. His advice to you will be the heartfelt expressions of someone who knows and loves you. Your dad wants more than anything for you to be happy and successful, so why would you not want to trust someone like that? Boys, trust your dad."
M. Russell Ballard, "Fathers and Sons: A Remarkable Relationship," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 47
I get so headstrong as a mom. Sometimes my hubby will come up with ideas or advice in parenting and I just look at him like he has been getting all of his information from some underground group that is against matriarchs!
But in seriousness, he is very loving with his suggestions and helps level me out.
Over the years I found out that indeed he is right about a lot of the crazy things I hear coming out of his mouth:)
So, I am glad that my boys (and girl) have the father that will whip them into shape and spend time teaching them life's lessons. I am also glad that I have learned how right he is!
