You understand some very important things that many parents are blind to. The things you do, that you don't necessarily want to do, are incredible bonding moments.

My DH has only ever engaged with DD when it's something that interests him. He failed to learn about her and honor who she is as a person. Now, as she has gotten older, they have very little bond, and he doesn't seem to understand why.

You are indeed a very good dad. And a good person too.
