Local fathers ponder what makes a good dad

MOSES LAKE — It’s been said that 90 percent of success is just showing up. That may well be true of fatherhood. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than one child in four in America lives in a home with no father. Statistics aren’t everything, of course, and not all fathers are good ones, but some statistics suggest that children who grow up with a father in the home have lower rates of poverty, substance abuse, incarceration, teen pregnancy and other problems.
