I called my uncle Michael to wish him a happy father's day because I never had a dad in my life and he replied back with "I appreciate it".

I know many men and only three take care of their kids so I really don't give two damns about Father's Day. Plus kcool's holiday threads are creepy so that's why no ones really posting on it.

Fair enough.

On both counts.

We don't go through the pain of having the children....unless you're passing a bowling ball!

My opinion Mother's deserve more publicity.

I totally agree. But is physical endurance the sole reason Dads bascially get the shaft?

Even on Father's Day?

(no need to hide either)

And there it is!!!

Reverse sexism is prolly the best way I can think to put it. Which sucks, because it sounds too much like reverse racism, which is an oxymoron. But that's for another thread.

Nailed it MBB!

qwik spin,

i am by NO MEANS the best father in the world

my three are by three. i wasn't missin in action

but i wasn't in the home either.

the thing is i've seen GOOD FATHERS get dogged out

by women just because they couldn't hold on.

and then the ones that have (as eddie griffin puts it)

the ole 'keep a nigga/man' babies. knowin that it ain't an option.

people drag dads without one minit thinkin 'bout t he evil

that women do. obscoundin with a man's child, not informin them

about the pregnancy ( for hope of profit with a better prospect )

waitin 'til they cann't hack it THEN holla about lack of child suport.

so when you wonder whut makes a bad dad one has to review the source

of the bad report.

EVERYDAY IS FATHERS DAY enjoy the 'gettin' to be one.

some feel they HAVE to be one. myself, i see i GET to be one...

Not a whole lot of men want breakfast-es cooked by 6 year olds eaten with a smile, or gold spray-painted macaroni art cherished like a picasso, mudcakes and what not. There are years of that first before anything else.

I wasn't afraid of what you were going to say in response, just that it's not worth it.

Belated Happy Father's Day. To all the men who put in love, time and work to rear their children.

I saw kcools thread but I thought to myself...


"Damn, he's (kcools) about a week early, why not start the thread the day before or day of. Anywho. I had plans on posting something later but time got away from me. I was too busy celebrating my baby daddy day.

Actually, I don't think that's it.

It's not as popular because most men really don't give a shit about getting cards and homemade gifts from their kids.

And let's be honest here, they simply don't long for validation like women do.

I attended two funerals of friends who father's past this year. Friend A, spoke of a loving, hardworking, dad who lived for him and (particularly his sons) gave his children a blueprint for being dad's and husband's. His middle son (my friend) was asked by his mother to eulogize his dad.

If you care to know what he said, org. After he spoke, he received a standing ovation. Needless to say his remarks weren't as blunt as Ivy's remark but it spoke to the same issue. The truth hurts and those who usually trip about such things do because the shit hits close to home.

Case and point...

Who acted an ass when President Obama called on Black men to take responsibility for their homes and children. I quote, "Any man... any fool can make a baby." Cough, cough, cough Rev. Jackson.

I"ve digressed sort of...

Friends B: No one showed up for his funeral or wake except his children, the friends of his children, their respective employers and/or employees. NOBODY. No food, no drinks, not even a fuckin' ham sandwich did anyone bring. The service was all of 4 minutes and since he had never done anything for his family but keep them at hand to mouth living... his children thought it was best not to say anything and allow sleeping low down dogs lye rather than stand up and lie. So, the moral to the story. What you get in return can usually be measured by how much time you've worked and invested in anything. When you don't take of your children, you can't expect your children to acknowledge or take care of you.

and kcool is not a fool....ive dealt with him and he is a very cool guy.

As a Dad of 11 years, I can't help but notice how year after year, Father's Day gets maybe HALF the pub that Mother's Day receives. Now, I'm not saying Moms don't deserve ALL the respect due for the work they do, but there are indeed Fathers who are taking care of they chirrens just as well, if not better than their female counterparts. Yes, it's true, there are still men who do their thing when it comes to their kids. SURPRISE! Case in point, I check the org to see if there's a Father's Day thread (WTF is wrong with kfoolmusic anyway? ), and the shit had like 55 views and 2 replies. Seriously? Obviously, I ain't referring to those fools who just skeet 'n' skate (they can all eat a dick in a bad way ), but damn, no props OR pounds for the guys actually putting in work? What the deal? Scream at me y'all.

As a second thought I'm not sure what this person is referring to, the corporate commercialization of a day, therefore fathers aren't getting as much advertisement time as mothers, because I'm sure, majority wise (definitely not all, just like moms), those that are putting in the time, effort and energy are getting the acknowledgement within their own home. I've heard from a dad or two who got spoiled yesterday, of course that was after years of enduring burnt toast and weird ties.

I got a kick out of seeing children treating their dads on their special day yesterday. We went out or ice cream and saw a couple of kids treating dad's to ice cream. Thi lil girl (maybe 4 years of age) pulled out this wad of cash to pay for her dad's Sunday; she turned around and asked him if he wanted anything else.

Everyone cracked up laughing. Very touching...

there is a general consensus that men aren't as capable, when it comes to raising children, as women

i'm not saying there aren't dead-beat dads out there, but the sexism i speak of exists... i know because i deal with it

Speaking of sexism,
I'm tired of the way women treat me on this site.
Ladies, you probably can't tell from a first glance, but I am more than just my dick. Much more.

(no need to hide either)

It's not about the actual birth process.

I think most men, even still, have a harder time 'emotionally' connecting,

Even though the father might be actually putting in more work for his kids and family in other ways.

.

Most kids/teens don't get it until later in life, that did did a lot for me/us.

.

A lot of men, not until 'mortality' hit's in different ways do we get it, that you have to be more emotionally available.

.

But a lot of this is because society and the times dictact a lot of it.

My cousins wife, was talking about needing her husband to be more connecting more open etc and then her 5yr old fell and started to cry and instictly she said "boys don't cry"

.

I think fathers no matter the age would appreciate more for Fathers Day and maybe kids would do more, if it matched the things that made them open and relaxed. Maybe a day on the Lake fishing, or doing whatever he like and would like to share with his family this time of year.

.

I got my card for my dad the day before, and the store-I was shocked was 1/2 way out of Fathers Cards, and then we took him to a steak house and I expected a 15-20 minute wait tops. I was shocked there it took about 40 min to get a spot. usually Fathers day you can get it anywhere quick.

My pops passed on two years ago, but I wished my brother-in-law Happy Father's Day.
