"He's starting to copy me when I do things. He loves his daddy, he wants to be like me," starts a post from Brad Kearns of the DaDMuM Facebook page. Alongside a photo of himself with his 3-year-old son, Knox, Brad admits in the short post [1] that it took one small and innocent incident for him to realize [2] that Knox is always watching him — and monkey see, monkey do.

When I tickle his mum, he tickles her too.
When I wink at her, he winks too.
When I blow raspberries, he blows raspberries too.
When I wrestle her, he does too.
Once I playfully smacked her on the bum. He smacked her on the bum too.

It was that one action than made him realize just how closely he's being watched and emulated, that he has a huge responsibility now as a father to raise his sons to be respectful [3] of women. "He watches when I touch her. He listens when I speak to her. He treats her how I treat her. If I respect her, he will respect her. It's a huge responsibility I can't ever f*ck up. We need to teach our boys how to treat women from day one."
