Have you ever found yourself feeling like a parenting superstar only to quickly realize that what you did is just part of the job? Over the weekend, John Miller received the prestigious ‘Community Values Award’ and shared a moment during his acceptance speech where his wife, Sarah, called him out for his attempts at taking credit for parenting duties. He reflected on how being a parent has become his most significant character-building experience yet.

Honored at the Community Center in his hometown, the award recognizes individuals who consistently exemplify strong character as role models. In his heartfelt speech, John humorously recounted his past misjudgments and dedicated the award to his family, particularly to Sarah. “This morning, I thought I was doing a great job because I woke up early with the kids so she could sleep in,” he said. “And then Sarah was like, ‘So you’re going to act tired now? I do this every single day.’ But it was a reality check, right? Because she’s absolutely right!”

Absolutely, she is! Many mothers can relate to the double standards that often exist in parenting. My own friend often hears similar remarks when her husband helps out with the kids. Even though they both juggle full-time work and family responsibilities, the expectation seems to be that he deserves a break simply because he’s a man. But it’s crucial to understand that fathers should participate equally in their children’s care; otherwise, it deprives kids of positive male role models and underestimates dads’ capabilities.

John also touched on the emotional challenges of parenting, saying, “When Sarah and I became parents, I immediately wanted to call my own parents and say, ‘I’m sorry, I had no idea how much you loved me.’” This kind of reflection is common among new parents, revealing the depth of love and sacrifice that comes with raising children.
