True!

The thing that myself and others found so disagreeable is that your copy sounded… maybe “whiny” is the right word?

It reminded me of the “buddy dad” that cares more about his kids thinking of him as a “best friend”, than being a father. Those are very different things.

Maybe your copy is right for your audience, depending on your goals, but it stuck a strong negative chord for me.

Email in profile, by the way. Happy to iterate and provide direct feedback, as fathers do need good resources.
