I was telling a woman about my book, Dads Matter, today and she said she had a father not a dad. When I asked her about the distinction, she said a father produces you and works to provide for you but a dad is much more.
I have heard it both ways, depending on the marketing message of the organization presenting it. I see more of a distinction of "becoming a father" and "being a father." I think it's a clearer picture of "fathering in the moment" versus "fathering for a lifetime."

ReplyDeleteBy the way, my name is Seth, and I'm from a fatherhood program called Dads Matter of Fayette County, located an hour south of the Pittsburgh metro.
