Chris Kirkpatrick and his wife Karly Skladanywelcomed their first child, son Nash Dylan, on Oct. 10, 2017.
For Kirkpatrick, one of the most challenging parts of fatherhood is making sure Nash grows up with good values, even if he lives a privileged life.
“Being a dad — that’s the challenge. Knowing how I grew up — I grew up very poor with nothing and my kid doesn’t have to work for anything,” he toldUs Weekly.“And every time we go out, I’m always like, ‘Yeah, let me get you this!’”
He continued, “He comes home [and] he has like eight toy rooms in our house. So, I think [being a father] is trying to put the values in him that I had. But [at the same time], I still let him know, ‘All of the stuff you are getting is because we love you.’ [It is] not because if he acts like he deserves it, it stops.”
