[With a strong 2015 around the corner for Redman, the New Jersey native speaks to SOHH readers about how going independent has made him realize the importance of being close with his family.]
With being independent and having more time off, I’ve learned to be more of a dad instead of just a father.
Any guy can be a father by just having a baby. I wanted to be more of a dad and to be more involved. I wanted to be more involved in not just their schoolwork because I’m always heavy on that but more involved in their activities, taking them to their activities and scheduling my studio time to revolve around them more.
This goes out to all parents to learn to balance their job with their kids. I feel good about it. I take my kids to the gym, to MMA practice and all types of things because these are times you don’t get back.
What we didn’t notice as kids, from eight-years-old to fifteen-years-old, that time goes fast. From eight to nineteen and twenty, their growing path goes super fast. Once they hit their twenties, their growing slows. I try to be in their life and do the right thing as far as my timing.
I want my connection with my babies and knowing what they like, their favorite colors, what kind of games they play and a lot of parents don’t know that until it’s too late.
