If you're a father or if you've ever considered being one, I've got a message for you for this Mother's Day. You've got one job and one job only, and that is to love their mother. If you're a father of a daughter like I am, you're going to have all these anxieties like I have. Like, is she going to actually meet a cool guy who's going to treat her well with respect? Remember that the way you treat her mum is going to be the way she's going to grow up expecting to be treated by guys in the future. Do you give your partner flowers? Do you keep your promises? Do you show up for her on days when it's hard? I want you to have a think about that. If you're a father of a son, then you've got an even bigger job to do. And see, your son is looking up to you as an example of what it really means to be a man. You know, this world needs more men who are true to themselves. They have good values and know how to respect and love for a woman. We typically show up on Mother's Day with flowers, gifts, spa dates. Look, by all means, do that. Really do that, because she's gonna love that. But tomorrow, when Mother's Day is over, keep doing that. You're gonna keep setting that example, because then you can really show your child what it means to be a man. And by just doing that, you're gonna shape the future of society. Happy Mother's Day.
