From Man To Dad: Embracing The Journey Of Fatherhood (EP. 112)

[@tarikelshiekh2005]

sounds like when men who are in touch with their inner child get to parent 👌👏

[@emanibabin]

Omar!! Talk about it! “Not your little friend”. I’m perfectly fine with my child temporarily not liking me for a season while I save their life and steer them. Children will never understand that and that’s okay, they’re not expected to, they’re a child that’s how they will behave. God gave us the child to train up not befriend (but ofc be loving let them know they can come to you) My grandmother taught us using the plant in a pot analogy. When a plant is growing in the pot- back in the day they would stick I rod in the middle. Why? So the plant grows straight. It may grow around the rod but it has a guiding point. Parenting is the same way.

Man- 3 black men who I admire who are discussing the expectations for a family and household is such a place of adoration and sadness. I didn’t have it, but I am SO grateful to witness this conversation!

[@AnnMarieCrew]

Jalon on the point about talking to your kids and giving them the attention they need is so vital. I have a 5 year old son and I ask him everyday how was school, what did you learn because that is very important to me. It also shows them how much you care about what’s going on with them in their times outside of their daily life at home. I’m now about to have a baby girl, and I definitely pride myself on the type of woman I am and never feeling the need to fit in with what others do is a top priority in raising her. It’s different for boys and girls, they definitely require different types of messages.

this was a beautiful episode to watch! 👏🏽 well done!!

the dopest podcast ye hearddd🎉

[@nicki919]

i needed this episode. raising a son as a single mother i’ve tried to be so much better with spending time with him, being stern without the aggression to get my point across and learning to cultivate his love languages. it’s rough out here, i’m praying for a father for him because i don’t ever want him to lack

[@OliviaKennedy-fd6nd]

Jalon face be so severe when he’s not talking…until he starts talking I think he’s the meanest guy in the room lol

[@KINGPROCESS4U]

No it Omar, he is trying To be Nice 💔😂

[@AngelaElikya]

Lmfao😂😂😂 he just be thinking and analyzing shit

[@leonnaemeka1795]

😂😂😂 Forreal spot on

[@leonnaemeka1795]

​@@AngelaElikya😂😂😂😂 Forreal... Jalon is definitely the biggest analyzer among the guys 😂😂😂 Very intelligent young man, all of them all intelligent young men

[@2_Cool8780]

Real stuff...Omar having a boy does the same thing. He looking at you even more. Literally like looking in a mirror. Being a single father of two...son & daughter. She learning how to be treated & loved from me...she's learning how a man provides..protects...having kids period change you for the better in my opinion.

[@ShyiaRobinson]

You know, I appreciate you guy’s input on fatherhood. A big reason I am iffy on being a mother is bc I haven’t seen, in my immediate circle, men who can genuinely hold space for a woman and cherish her for all that she is and not only what she does for him. Being raised by a single mother and having an aloof dad has definitely played a big part in my experience with past partners. Hearing yall talk about your plans for your families and how to be the best parent gave me a glimmer of hope and got a little excited to start a family. I would be an amazing mother and co-parent, all I need is a wonderful man to match my energy in the connection. 🤗

America wouldn't be the top country for soccer even if they gave it their all. It's years of experience that they wouldn't have.

love this podcast so much! i be saying the intro with yall🤣😂 “yo what’s the deal yall hope all is well!”

[@emanibabin]

Sameeeee

[@MizzAsiaMonique]

U gentlemen have grown so gracefully peace and blessings to you all and your families.

[@olaburrell9091]

Love these conversations! I would love to hear you guy's opinions on should your wife take your last name or not? I would love to hear you expertise dissecting that topic. I think that's such an important yet interesting topic to cover. Please consider it

[@Me-px7js]

That would be an interesting topic

[@firstmilfitness9352]

The answer is yes.

[@AngelaElikya]

If they all are christians the answer is yes ! Their wives will have the husband last name

[@triciajohnson9379]

Another thought… to pull your child out of school due to the gender/identity of their teacher is interesting because it shows your true beliefs on identity. To speak on your kids being different, or being themselves, what if your child chooses/feels as though they align with a different gender? That doesn’t necessarily have to do with what they see visually, it can truly be who they feel they are at their core? Especially if your influence over them starts at home. What are your thoughts on your child being gay or non binary?

[@randyvixamar3072]

Man I wish I was able to hear what Jalon and Omar told Duke when my daughter was first born. That routine do become different and you got to remind yourself this is life now. Figuring it out. Great episode

[@triciajohnson9379]

I really wish duke did a better job validating Omar and Jalons feelings.. he seems to always be like yeah but anyways next point, after they done expressed something big, then follows up with another question. I’d love to see him open up more and give to a conversation, not just put his opinion in but his feedback

[@emanibabin]

Do you frequent this podcast? I think they all validate each other’s point and very well if I might add. Especially Duke, he genuinely listens ( ofc they all do lol) but Duke does & I can tell by how he responds to everything it’s very thought out and attentive

[@triciajohnson9379]

@@emanibabin I watch it every week. That’s just my perspective

[@ALMAENCASA]

Yeahhh❤good to hear that brother in eternity ❤

[@bello75]

I enjoyed this conversation

[@dechick4l]

I 100% agree with Jalon and Omar about being flexible as parents, at first your routine will be all over the place however you will eventually find your rhythm. Also there will be a season that the kids will have to come 1st before mum or dad for example 1st 3 months of baby 's life mum is still finding her feet and may not be up for some sexy time or dad may feel rejected because only mum can comfort baby all of this are normal but with communication and understanding you guys will get through it. And lastly always remember that you are a team, don't put too much pressure on being the partners that you were prior to having kids, things are different now just hold on to the fun sand sexy side of you guys lol🙂

[@jeanty12345]

43:52 I hear you Omar but school and the world have an influence on your kid.

[@emanibabin]

& they may, by that doesn’t mean she has to conform to be like them. You don’t have to be influenced by what’s infront of you. I know Omar is determined that his daughter will have a different story then the rest of the word and know who she is & I just love that!

[@AngelaElikya]

​​@@emanibabin I don't think Omar has a actual power on it his daughter will have tho.

[@emanibabin]

@@AngelaElikya I mean of course. He’s not in her body making decisions for her lol. That’s impossible, but the Bible says train up a child in the way they should go and they won’t depart from it. I believe Omar is a Christian (although I saw him doing Ramadan, which I’m curious as to why he partakes in what Islamic people do to get closer to a false God, seriously I’d love to know his thought process) but nonetheless since he’s a Christian he can rest in that principle because Gods word doesn’t fail☺️

[@AngelaElikya]

​@@emanibabin you are totally right . Even with the questionable things Omar be doing👀 as a christian " lol

[@emanibabin]

@@AngelaElikya Yeah sis I can’t speak too much to that 😂😂 but yeah I peeped it….I think it’s kinda crazy though tbh😭

[@rashade5877]

Great podcast! However, with baseball it is a toughness you find in it. If you get it enough in the head with a mit, getting hit by a ball on purpose, the talking shit on base all comes in baseball. As well as when stealing a base and sliding into the bag, it gets physical for sureeee🤣🤣🤣

[@meekocicero1010]

I truly appreciated this conversation, cause y’all mentioned a lot about how to parent children that I agree with [ I don’t have kids yet ], but when I speak to other men about this they make it seem so domineering. I started to feel like men don’t have the balanced capability to a stern parent without the physical force [ whooping ] while also being present & attentive. Happy to know that if it exists here there’s more out there. Great job guys 👏🏾✨

[@mickeyhayes7665]

I absolutely love this podcast! Men talk and with morals and honor! Thank you for this platform that you all are on.
