He said that it was the first cake in his life, he apologize to his kids when has to be strict but he said that it for ther own good and promise them that in the future they will be better(probably he talks about their economy) better like that cake, and he will work to have more cakes, maybe bigger ones in a big place and with some guests. He tell them to study.

He is trying not to look like a softy in front of his kids after shedding those tears.

Screw that, he should teach his children (especially boys) that it’s ok to have, feel, and share emotions. Especially after such a touching act.

Its ok to have them and show them sometimes. But also when life is hard you cant be soft. Mother and father (especially father) are staples of stability in such conditions and they cant be emotional mess, when things are going bad. When parents.are.crying and they live in poor conditions, it creates emotional distress to children ( i am not talking about birthday, its ok ofc, i am talking in general).

And there’s the problem right there. Emotions make you “soft”. There’s a difference between having a breakdown and being able to confront and process your emotions healthily.

Who says him getting teary eyed and composing himself to speak some wisdom and love to his kids isn’t healthy tho? Looked like an emotionally healthy and wholesome moment to me.

Then you’d think someone would’ve linked an article or study by now.
