Mike Melton tells fathers to leave work stress at the door and be fully present with their families. Kids notice if you're there, not whether you had a bad day. Be the best version of yourself at home, not the depleted one.
Before you go home tonight, I want you to take one second right before you open that door, because your kids don't care or what you went through that day or how stressful it was. They don't know what your payroll cost may have been. They don't know what deal may have fell through for you that day. The only thing they do know is whether Dad walked in with his full attention or not, or you sitting there giving them your leftovers. Because you know what? I've walked through that same door carrying that work home instead of being present. And I can promise you, your family deserves the best of you, not what's left of you like you're giving them now. I'm gonna tell you what, you leave that pressure in that truck today when you go home and you walk inside like you're the leader of that home, 'cause your kids and wife are home waiting on you. Now if this hits home for you, I want you to share it with a man who may need to hear it also.
