With Divorce being what it is in this country, and the games that often go with it, many dads will be spending little to no time with their children. I just wanted to extend warm wishes to you during this time

I extend warm wishes also, keeping in mind, the rest of the year is just as important. If an established relationship exists, the holidays are a shared expectation.
I would think the children, themselves, would protest not seeing/spending time with dad....

oh man, that is so sad to think

How many children actually can affect any kind of change in a situation like this? Sadly next to none. And yes, the whole year counts but I know its gotta be hard for dads at this time of year that really do want to be with their kids and for whatever reason they cannot.

Is it a simple coincidence that while I posted my last response there was a commercial advertising for men's parental rights?

I'm not a dad, but I'll be missing my kids this Christmas. I WILL see them Christmas day, but the jerk is taking them to VA on the 26th and told me I wasn't welcome.

one of my cousins refused to go to america for xmas, so she will be at home if her father, who has been long forgotten by the rest of his family, wants to call around. Outraged many of the family, but i thought it was very honourable of her.

I will. I don't want to jack this thread so I'm not going to go on and on about it, but he is being an ass. So, yes...if all of you could ban together and send him a super sized kick in the nuts that would be great. Thanks.

evenstar said:

That's horrible

so many issues to little time.

I thought this thread was a way for Supa to get some draws during Christmas holiday.

yanno..


and this is to all the dads (and moms) who neglect their children all year around including the holidays.....

I think that given your special powers vis a vis the intuition to speak on this topic, followed up by the commercial, that it is obvious:

Your new mission in life is to champion men's and father's rights.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Nice thought Supa - there are many dads that would love to spend the holidays with their kids, but are not able.

I am trying to go out of my way to facilitate my daughter and her father being together for the holiday.

Can I have first crack? My balldar is on point

Rhondab said:

That too

My heart goes out to all the fathers that want to spend Christmas with their children, but genuinely can't.
Esp. to those in the military.



But a hard kick in the nuts to those fathers that won't spend Christmas with their children because they'd rather somewhere else. May those men never get visits in their old age from their children.
