What does it take to be a good father? A little relevant background on me: I am stolid, my default mode is one of indifference and lack of emotion. I am not a wicked person, but I am unnaturally unemotional. I have little or no bonds with anybody. I make a deliberate effort to not be attached to anyone, including my family: "keep it formal," I like to call it. I was thinking about my future recently and I wondered if I will make a good dad with such disposition. I envision myself as someone who will provide for his family in every way, especially financially, except emotionally. I may not be all lovey-dovey with my wives and kids (except if I marry a Goddess character-wise ), although I will provide for their needs as a matter of responsibility and humanity. Is this a sufficient condition to be a good father? If not, what else is needed? What if my character is not disposed to the demands of fatherhood? Should I then stay celibate? Discuss.

You seem to have the making of a good father but the unemotional part might be a bit of a disability for you. How do you expect to marry someone and have children if you show little to no emotion? Wouldn't you need to form or establish some sort of bond with someone before doing those things? Hmmm, you kinda sound like me when I was around 18 or 19 . Sometimes I'm still like that but I try not to let it get the best of me.
