On being a father on Saturdays……

Yesterday was a Saturday. It was time for me and my daughter to meet and enjoy each others company.
Being a father is great.
I was sitting at the kitchen table. Next to me was sitting my ex-girlfriend (we still like each others company), opposite me was sitting my daughter.
“I do not want my father to be strict with me?” – said my little in a very sad voice.
“Why would he?” – asked my ex a bit perplexed.
“Well, you told me if my father was with me as long as you are, then he would be more strict with me.I do not want that.”
“Do not worry. He won’t be. We will all have a great time.”
We were talking about my sisters wedding. All of us three are going. Since me and my ex split we do not do social stuff together. This is an exception. The wedding is in a different city, in a different country, in a different language. They need me to travel with them. For safety reasons. For any reasons.
I do not raise our daughter. My ex does. I am just the daddy Santa to her. It is about being a father that buys her stuff she likes, just small toys. And I do stuff with her she likes: running around, playing various games, drawing, playing memory games,whatever.
I did not have all this as a child. My father was not at home in the evenings. I wonder where he was. He was in the military service for some time too.
Later I was not at home. I was training or at school. I came home just for food and sleep. I had good friends though and lot of fun with them.
Sometimes I wonder if I am a good father. I should raise my daughter too. But since she is a daughter and not a son, it might work – I mean having just fun time. I know she loves me. She told me many times.
She is immensely clever. Me and my mother-in-law do not meet. Since me and my ex split I haven’t met her. She works in a book shop. My daughter and me were in the city center yesterday, the book shop is located there. It is a small book shop, in a small town with a small town center.
“Lets go there.” – my daughter’s finger pointed towards the book shop.
” Why? You need to see something there?” – I was well aware there is a slight chance we run into the mother-in-law working there.
And guess what? There she was. Hurrying along the low shelves filled with books. She noticed us. We shook hands. My daughter smiled.
I just guess my daughter wanted us to meet. As soon as we shook hands, we said “Hello.“, and just after couple of seconds said “Bye.”. My daughter pulled me away. She had no need to go to the book shop anymore.
I did not asked her any questions. We entered a huge shopping mall. We headed towards the toy shop.
I found this hilarious video of a father who was traveling with his exhausted daughter, somewhere in Russia I guess. Being a father brings funny moments too:
