On being a father

The other day I was at a BBQ with family. It was shortly after Father's Day so it was being talked about. My brother that has 2 kids and 2 step-kids says to be "When you think about it, it doesn't take much to be a father". I think that he was talking about the act of conception.

I totally disagreed. That's not how I see being a father at all. I see "being a father" being all the times you wipe noses, rock them back to sleep, hug them after a skinned knee. It's a lot of time. Decades. Lifelong.
