As the son of a father who had the luck to find and keep a work from home since I was born, I can confirm the benefit goes both ways. Sure sometimes you might feel like stepping on each other's shoes, especially once they grow up and start feeling like they want more independence or autonomy, and to be honest it also depends on the personalities and how they link or clash together (personally this was the only real reason why I ended up moving out, but I sure took my damn time lol). But I assure you that this way the father gets to express all of his love up to the very small things, the ones that they'll have to grow up to realize what they were worth, meanwhile the kids get to have his support and a father figure present basically all day everyday. Again it depends, in my case I have issues because of some ways my father was hurt that in turn made him hurt me, the 'usual' parental cycles sadly, and this is also something that is a bit amplified in small ways when having him always there, but i never stopped noticing how much he loves me and cares for my well-being, even the part of me that hates him, in reality, still wants to give him back the love it deserves. And all of this is helped immensely by him having lived and worked all under the same reliable roof. Quite the long comment but I hope it helps you and others with some insight from the son's perspective. Anyway I love this song too, maybe a bit more the original than this version but I see and feel the lyrics very clearly.

Im 25 and my dad is 62. I moved in with him 5 months ago because his health was declining. 2 weeks ago was his last hospital visit before speaking with palliative care and deciding on hospice care. Still with hospice…I’m here 7 days a week taking FMLA and my dad screams for me when they try do give him a bath. I get no breaks. On top of that, Palliative care said he would die of kidney failure when we were in the hospital but he has been passing urine on his own. They said kidney failure is a good way to die - painless. But now I think he may be dying of his cancer and not his kidney. I don’t know what to do. I feel so helpless. Is he dying or do I need to bring him to a hospital and save his life? So many questions. Palliative care messed this one up.

The message is time eternal. My Dad was killed in an auto wreck when I was a 9 year old 4th grader. Now 52 years later I can still shed a tear when I think of things done and time spent with him, and this song in particular can make those tears flow. For most of my entire life Chapin's tune has served as a reminder. When I was a high school freshman, we had a stereo in our Advanced English class so we could listen to commercial-free FM radio while writing. That was a big deal at the time especially for the relatively small town community where I went to school. I remember one afternoon after Cats in the Cradle aired, hard-nosed Irish disciplinarian Mr. Hollahan shut off the stereo receiver and asked the entire class to chime in and talk about what we all had just listened to, the ballad sung, and how one should aspire to live. I don't remember all of my classmates' individual responses, but I was glad I was not called upon. Hearing Cats in the Cradle that day had not brought me to tears, but the lump in my throat would have made it tough to talk and express my own experience and feelings. It had not been that many years prior to that early September 1969 morning I was really looking forward to because I was going to get to ride my bike to school, but not long after awakening knowing I had overslept and that something was wrong when I heard our family friend Shirley McArthur's voice downstairs only to soon learn my Dad had been killed on the Pit 1 Grade the night before driving home. Now, I am a husband and father with a 14 year old son and an 18 year old princess. I endeavor to provide for my bride and family, I work hard, travel too damn much for work, but with the exception of a rare day when I only get to speak with my bride when I am on the road, I make absolutely sure my children hear me say "I love you" each and everyday. Yes, Chapin's song has had a nearly life long impact on me and maybe they don't realize it, but my own children too. Subsequently, fathers young and old, remember to major in the majors. Only we can be our bride's husband, provider, protector, lover, and confidant, and only we can be our childrens' guide, protector, and father. No job, career, profession, or business can ever match what a good man of steel and velvet and a rock solid father can accomplish.

I love the choice of words in this line "When are you coming home son I don't know when", because without punctuation, this exchange can be read in two different ways that reflect the stages in the song and the parallel between father and son over the years. The first two times are from the son's perspective, growing up, repeatedly asking his dad when he's coming home so they can spend time together, the line then reads - "When are you coming home?" - "Son, I don't know when." Then when the son is all grown up, in college, at his own house with wife and kids, and doesn't have time to spend with the dad anymore, the line then reads from the dad's perspective as he misses his son - "When are you coming home, son?" - "I don't know when."

This was one of my dad's favorite songs. He'd sing this song often in the car when he'd pick me up. He wasn't in my life as much as most Dads traditionally, but he'd call me often. We'd talk, laugh, and relate with each other. The older I got, the more I realized he was JUST like me! Unfortunately, the last time we spoke on the phone was two weeks before he died suddenly. Talk to your loved ones; you NEVER know when the last conversation with them will be. Enjoy paradise, Dad. ❤

My dad was with me every step of my childhood. He was always home for the family. I wasn't all there with him in his final days. Now with my son just walking and learning to talk, my work has me away for most of the week. And this song that I've always loved playing but never identified with my father and myself, seems like it's telling me that it wasn't ever about my father. It was me all along.

Hey, I've noticed something about Western societies. They don't treat their elderly parents very well. It's sad to see them in old age homes. It's like when you were a baby and your parents left you with strangers and only checked on you occasionally. In contrast, in Middle Eastern countries, children take care of their parents until they pass away. Our religion teaches us to worship God alone and to be dutiful to our parents. I hope you don't take offense to what I said. It's just my observation. By the way, that song is really great!

Well you two guys are lucky,, my old man was a prick and the one time I was dealing with him and this song came on,, the guy just laughs and turns it off.. needless to say,, turning my back on the prick was twenty-some years too late but not a day too early... A couple of years ago one of my own sons played this tune for me kind of out of the blue, and I don't mind saying that, yeah I cried, who wouldn't? I wasn't working too much to be away from my kids but they are kind of spread out so,, I'd be with them when I could but anyways just refreshing to see other stories of guys who got along with their dads...

I think what i love most about this song is how many people could relate to it. It isn't specific. The father's not abusive, negligent, cruel, mean, or absent. This actually happens in almost every family where there is a father, or even mother, that's too busy to get to know their child, and before they know it, they're retired, their kid is married with their own kids, and now THEY dont have time for THEM. It's honestly the circle of life as we know it.

Lyrics: My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad" "You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then My son turned ten just the other day He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw, I said-a, not today I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay And he, he walked away, but his smile never dimmed It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then Well, he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while? He shook his head, and they said with a smile What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please? And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then, dad You know we'll have a good time then I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind He said, I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, dad It's been sure nice talking to you And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then, dad We're gonna have a good time then

So glad I spent time with my son - he has grown up to be an awesome man and a great friend. All the time practicing baseball and shooting hoops with him was a joy for me. I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world.

I saw these guys live in Houston around the time they were hitting the rotation on MTV. They were the headliners but I was into the local opening band. I remember telling my friends that I wasn't really looking forward to the "I hate everything about you" guys. To say that I was blown away by their live performance would be a gross understatement. These guys absolutely brought it. Years later I honestly can't remember the opening band name but I'll never forget Ugly Kid Joe.

When I heard this song first on the radio in 1974 I walked 2 miles to Woolworth's & bought the 45. Walked home the other 2 miles & played it on my little record player. My Dad was long gone & I thought this song would make things easier on my poor little heart. When I had my own little boy it was my mission to be the best father that ever lived. You see- we get a second chance at a Father- Son relationship & bonding. I wasnt about to mess that second chance up. My son & I were inseparable until he went off to college then got married. We are still super close & I treat his bride as if she were my own daughter.

I love how life related this song is! It tells a powerful story of how your kids can grow up and before you know it, they are on their own! They start out as a baby, then as they get older they are in elementary school through high school, then finally college! Then they come home from college and are already in a full time career and have kids. The most heartfelt part is the hanging of the phone as this kid is all grown up and has moved on. Very powerful for life. Harry Chapin will never be forgotten.

I'm 56 and my children are in there 30's. I made sure i was there for them and did my best to show them what dad means to a family. I've lived a long life and the best accomplishment is being a dad to three amazing children that have given me grandchildren to carry our legacy.

When was the last time that you gave a hug to your father and told him that you love him? Do it now before it is too late...

As a father, honestly i don't want my boys to grow up to be like me, bitter, angry and resentful. I want them to be happy 😢

This is an incredibly sad song. It makes me think of all the times I told my mom I was busy… she died unexpectedly of cancer in 2016 and if I could go back in time I would do things much differently. 😢

Dad died October 15th 2017. I'm 42 years old. I sometimes cry do to mom tells me I'm just like dad. The biggest difference is he served in the U.S.A. Navy from '65 to '69 as a radarmen. U.S.S. tatnal and u.s.s John King. I cannot serve my country do to flat feet and being asmatic at a young age. Dad was the best. I cant listen to this song without thinking of dad
