I'm not going to be a father, but I do believe that if a loving father can be part of their kid's lives, that's very important. When I was a kid, and still do, I've for the most part have gotten along with my father. We used to go to the movies together, eat out and do guy stuff like playing pool or darts in our last house. My dad would take me bowling, because he was on a Wednesday night league and he'd give me some money to play the arcade and pinball games and if I was hungry, he would buy me cheese fries, or cheese sticks and a root beer. Now we spend a few father/son moments like watching Pawn Stars on Saturday afternoons, or a movie together.
I have to live with my dad at the age of late 39, but I'm glad he won't kick me out, unless I do or say something to give him a reason to kick me out.
So if a loving father can spend time with their kids, children or grown adults, it helps their lives out and helps kids grow up to be good adults.
