9 Ways to Be a Better Father - Part 7 - Don't Set Unfair Expectations Quick Tips For Dads

Have you ever been let down because someone didn't live up to your expectations? Did you voice that expectation? Was that expectation reasonable? We all have expectations for ourselves, our kids, etc... but we need to make sure those expectations are fair and not unreasonable.

Setting those unfair expectations for your kids will only do more damage than good.
