Fathers Past and Present
In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family’s head, he was a success.
Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and a four-car garage. And that’s just a vacation home.
In 1900, a father passed on his clothing to his sons.
Today, kids wouldn't touch their father’s clothes if they were sliding
naked down an icicle.
In 1900, a father could count on his children to join the family
business.
Today, a father hopes his children will come home from college long enough to teach him how to work his smart phone.
In 1900, a father threatened his daughter’s suitors with shotguns if the girl came home late.
Today, a father breaks the ice by saying, “So…how long have you had that tattoo?”
