data-id=\"306950\">selfish<\/a>&#8216; thing you can do. Why? Because of the extreme pride and joy you get when becoming a parent and having (and raising) a kid. Certainly raising a kid is tough, but the thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If raising a kid wasn&#8217;t tough, you wouldn&#8217;t have any pride as a parent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2020\/11\/29\/pride-is-a-virtue\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"287953\">pride<\/a> is a good thing. Pride is a virtue, especially as a parent. For example in raising little baby <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/02\/17\/waiting-for-seneca\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"302394\">Seneca<\/a>, I feel joy and find personal meaning and significance for the sacrifices I make for him (waking up, painfully in the middle of the night to feed him, etc). But at the same time, I have extreme joy in him. In playing with him, teaching him, talking with him, and raising\/growing him. In some ways, I want him to become a (more) idealized version of myself. Also, my ethos in raising him is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Treat him like how I would like to be treated if I were a baby.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if I were a baby or a kid, I wouldn&#8217;t want my dad on his phone all day. So when I am with Seneca, I try my best to be 100% focused on him. And also frankly speaking, I find playing with him 10000x more fun and interesting and entertaining than any TV show, any movie, any book, form of media, etc. Why? Seeing him learn, seeing him grab my fingers, seeing him mimic my gestures, make eye contact with me, feeling the sensation and growth of the strength of his muscles legs and hands &#8230; this is pure bliss for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div
