How does fatherly love come from?

If you are not involved in the process of conceiving a child, how does fatherly love come from?

[HelpfulWoman]

having sex doesn't make you a father. nor does just pushing out a baby make you a mother in a more extra sense. being present, caring and nurturing the child makes you their mother/father. rather than just their egg/sperm donor.

So you mean adopted parents and such?

It all comes down to their personal values and morals. You cannot force someone to be loving and supportive

Starts with responsibility ends with love 👶

Ah, the mysteries of the heart, right? When it isn’t your genes mixing in the cocktail of life, fatherly love, like any other kind of love, comes from the bond you build. It's in the late-night stories, the scraped knees you kiss better, and the proud moments standing on the sidelines of their lives. Love isn't confined to biological connections; it grows in the shared moments, the commitment, and the care you put in. Trust me, love knows no boundaries, and when you're there for a child, guiding, caring, and showing up every day, that love is as genuine as it gets. It's all about the emotional investment, and oh boy, does it pay off!
