Quotes:

“There are a lot of kids without dads. They’re not present. And those kids are missing out on something.” - Patrick Barrientes Share on X “Kids don’t learn through words. You can’t tell them how to act. You have to show them how to act.” - Patrick Barrientes Share on X “If you’re wrapping your masculinity in this ‘do I wear a suit and tie every day and make six figures and never see my family,’ that’s not the way to go.” - Patrick Barrientes Share on X
