Whats peoples view on this advert.
My 9 yr old son actually told me about the advert and said that it reminded him of me and him. I think I would miss out on so much if I wasn't his friend. He also has a lot of respect for me and we find it easier to talk about problems much easier with the result of being friends. You can certainly be a dad and a friend.
It’s nice for dad’s to get some screen time
I love the idea of a dad being your friend but I found this advert rather unsettling as dads also have a lot of other roles too.
Maybe it's just me!
Yeah we have loads of roles but def the most important is to be your kids best friend and to always be there for them. Not an easy task...
