"To be honest..."

 Parenting is arguably the most difficult task.

There is no manual for it.

The line between "He is MY child" and "It is HIS life" is so blurry.

I am responsible for how he will turn out VS I can't be too controlling, too.

I am in almost zero control of the information entering him yet, I'll be blamed for how he turns out.

As I thought hard on this task, it dawned one me - 

"Honesty is everything"

That's what my child must see in me. Once he sees me practice it, he will be confident confiding in me.

If he sees me honest to him, he will reciprocate it. It will be the way we roll.

If he knows that no matter what he does, he can be honest with me, I'm glad.

The reason he won't do wrong is not because he's scared of me but because he would have to tell me without hiding anything.

Now, before I'm a father, am I honest enough?

To my friends, family and partners, how honest am I?

What kind of parent would my child meet?

To be honest, there's work to do.
