Having a son... Or having kids in general-- See, it's complicated!
Sure, you worry about them all the time -- whether they eat enough, what the eat or wear, what games they play and with whom, whether they go to sleep at proper hours, whether you're being a good role model of them, whether you're not giving them enough -- or too much -- freedom... That and much more. It's like you stop thinking about yourself at all, 'cause you've gotta think about someone else -- someone much less experienced, too. You take care of them and want the best for them and can't even be sure if they appreciate it!
[He makes a pause, considering something. Then, he beams.]
... But when you see them smile and hear them laugh... When you see they're happy and you're the one who helped them feel that way... Hell, words can't describe that. It just feels like being on cloud nine!
