Here I am,
my child.
The culture mocks fatherhood while failing at every job you still have to do. Presence first — then the obligations that outlast fashion: “A father is obligated… to teach him Torah, to find him a wife, and to teach him a trade. Others say: teaching him how to swim as well.” In a place without men, strive to be a man. Then build a neighborhood where babies are celebrated and fathers are visible.
Then Isaac said to his father, “My father?” And Abraham said, “Here I am, my son.” Presence before performance.
Society actively mocks the most important role a man has. You are surrounded by media and institutions that portray fathers as obsolete, foolish, or toxic.
The architecture to endure the ridicule, raise strong children, and preserve a multi-generational legacy while the culture around you collapses.
Do not water down your authority to buy temporary peace. Your duty to your children is non-negotiable, regardless of the cultural narrative.
