Our 693rd Dad in the Limelight is Lee Mosler. I want to thank Lee Mosler for being a part of this series. It has been great getting connected with him and now sharing Lee Mosler with all of you.
1) Tell me about yourself, (as well as how you are in the limelight for my readers knowledge)
My name is Lee Mosler and I am a single father living in Hawai’i. I have my own business as a digital strategist and work from home so that I can spend more time with my son. I am in the spotlight because I believe that every parent out there should spend as much time with their kids instead of using excuses like work to get in their way.
2) Tell me about your family
I have a son that will be 4 in December. It’s just him and me. The mother is currently back in Texas and may or may not be moving out here.
3) What has been the largest challenge you have had in being a father?
The largest challenge I’ve had was actually moving out to Hawai’i to raise my son and leave everything else behind. It was a very challenging decision and still praying it was the right one.
4) What advice would you give to other fathers?
Don’t let anything get in the way of your happiness. Stop using work, tiredness, depression, or anything else come between you and your family. If you step up as a man for your family, all of those excuses will wash away and in front of you will be happiness.
5) How have you come to balance parenthood and outside life?
Since I work from home this one is easier for me than most other fathers. I balance it by working in the early morning and late night and give the rest of the time to my son. We go to the beach, on hikes, and when he’s old enough we will be going up into the mountains and deeper into the ocean.
6) What have you learned from the fathers that you have interacted with?
There are way too many excuses holding them back and they think that strength comes in the form of masculinity. While masculinity is a necessary trait to utilize, so is submission. You have to ask when you need help and submit to someone else helping.
7) What else would you share regarding your experiences as a father thus far?
Life is fleeting and your time on there is no guarantee on tomorrow. Take every opportunity to grow your relationship with your children and your spouse. Teach your kids what respect is and be a role model of it. The young adults of today are crying out for the attention and discipline they weren’t given and it’s making it harder on them now that they have no one to look to but themselves.
8) What have been the most memorable experiences that you have had thus far as a parent?
The day my son was born, when he took his first steps, when he spoke his first words, and seeing him interact with people while flying here. These are all of my favorite memories but I’m sure to have more. Life really isn’t about money spent but experiences made.
