Believe it not, we as dads are not perfect.  Of course, it's important to identify our mistakes so we can fix them.  Here are 10 parenting mistakes dads make: 1) Leaving the parenting up to mom 2) Trying to solve problems instead of showing empathy 3) Not providing enough affection 4) Not spending enough quality time with their kids 5) Doing too much for the kids not thinking they are capable (ie. getting them dressed, cleaning up after them) 6) Living through their children (music, sports, education) 7) Aggressive punishment (yelling, spanking) 8) Expectation is too high 9) Underestimating their child 10) Not regulating the food/candy they eat (too much sugar)
