Growing Up Dad

Sometimes I feel more alone when I am in a room full of people.

I've realized that all of my life people generally think I have no clue of what I am talking about, and then they are floored when something I say or do proves correct. I spend the majority of time having to prove myself. For once I want to hear someone say, "let's do it your way." without hesitation. Instead, I get "I do believe in you, it's just that you are wrong."

I don't think I can do anything right. The majority of the time I feel like a failure trying to fumble his way through just day to day stuff. I don't even know where to start.

Don't know how I feel about it. No fanfare. No kids waking up in excitement. Just everybody wanting to do their own thing, and the only card is from my Mother in law. Just another day. Oh well. Just once I want to feel like the world's greatest dad instead of the world's greatest work mule.
