  • Went to the meetup, went to the restaurant with my mom and she met some other dads that helped out with the kids, and went to the after dinner pizza with my sister. Had a great evening, talked to some of the other dads and got some great advice. The only thing I’m a little bit nervous about is that some of the other dads in the group aren’t vaccinated, so they aren’t really being helpful. I’m just hoping that I can make up for it next time. Thanks for listening.

  • You didn’t create the war you are looking for. The real war started in earnest when the Americans started dropping napalm and other non-conventional weapons.

    You didn’t prepare your soldiers for what was about to come, and you didn’t prepare them for the tremendous losses that would be inflicted on you.

    You didn’t prepare your men for the tremendous dangers that would befall them, and you didn’t prepare them for the tremendous feelings and frustrations that would be produced by losing one of your family.

    You didn’t prepare them for the people who would be using your technology to kill and maim and steal.

    You didn’t prepare them to be the slaves of your ever-changing needs and priorities.

  • Thanks for the advice. I will look into it and take it from there. I did not come up with this myself but it was a good question. My wife is more upset at me for not cleaning up the mess than at me for not cleaning up her poop. In both cases she seems to think I am a worse parent then she is.

    • We will see. I am not sure if he will be okay. But we will see.

    I have been waiting for this moment for so long. And it finally came.

    I dont know what to say, what to feel, what to think. But I am over it. I am over this.

    I guess I just wanted to share. That was all.

  • “Sir, I know that’s not enough, you know that”, PJ said.

    “That’s enough. That’s what they want”, PJ said.

    “Please stop trying to make me “them”, Zach said.

    Zach, I love you. Don’t let the little brat get you down, she’s just a little annoying, she’s not a screeching banshee

    “Okay, I’m done trying to make her “them”””, PJ said.

    “Okay, that’s enough, that’s enough”, Zach said.

    “It’s not working”, PJ said.

    “You’re not making enough, Zach, you’re not listening”, PJ said.

    “Zach, I don’t care about the attention, I don’t care about the “wisdom”, Zach said.

    “Listen, Zach, I love you, but I don’t need your love”, PJ said.

  • I’ll be reaching out to one more person. I don’t want this to become a thing. If there is another dad that can make a difference in what is going on with my son I’m all ears.

    UPDATE: I spoke with the mother today. She told me that she really appreciated the advice and the meal. She wanted to make sure that everyone’s needs were taken care of. She was upset that it wasn’t ready when she was supposed to be but I think she’s going to be okay. I’m happy that my son is getting the help he needs. Thank you all for listening. I’ll definitely be reaching out to the other parents. I’ll also be reaching out to the teacher.

    UPDATE 2: The teacher called today to make sure I’m doing okay. She told me that they’d talked to the mother and that she’d make another one of those calls when the kids are more able

  • Thanks so much, everyone! Your responses have been so helpful and made me so laugh and happy. The kind, insightful responses from you have really helped me see that there is support out there for us. I definitely (am) not the first person to come here and say that. And I definitely am not the only one. But I think I’m the first person that’s been really blown away and really feeling it. Thanks again everyone!

  • TBH, I don’t know if this is the place to post this, but I wanted to say a couple of things. First of all, thank you to everyone that replied to me about this post. I have read every single comment. I have read them all, and I’m actually really proud of one of the comments that made me cry. I love it!!

    Second of all, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that posted about “how I could never have afforded a house or yard” or similar nonsense. The amount of love, kindness, and support made this possible. I could have gone to any of these websites and gotten whatever I wanted (I live in a NYC apartment with cats, haha), but there are literally hundreds of thousands of other men who have to deal with the same shit every single day just like I have to. I am not exploiting my situation for attention, I am not a stranger to this. I am simply sharing my

  • It is irresponsible of me to make a "Dirty Joke" about the Great Barrier Reef, its people and its environment.

    \u200b

    Nevertheless, it is still extremely funny to me. I thought about going up to the Great Barrier Reef with my family and just seeing how amazed they are by the beauty of the place. I hope that some of you will find it as funny as I did.

  • Yea I made a post on r/dadjokes and I got a lot of upvotes and the comments were like "you made a great one OP" and "you made a great dad joke" I decided to repost it here since it was funny on r/dadjokes and now I get a lot of upvotes too. :p Ok so here is the joke. What do you get if you put water on the end of a string? Uhhhhmmm..sixteen dollars. Ok so now you have sixteen dollars. What do you get if you add a nickel to that? Zero. Zero. Geez you sound so stupid don't you think? Well no I didn't make a nickel I just had six fucking pennies

  • Y’all are awesome!! I can’t imagine not being able to go to work, my wife is exhausted, baby is a bit sick (but doing well so far), and having this time for family is awesome. And I think our son is starting to like the mom’s cooking, I’ll give her that!

    Just wanted to say thank you for all the kind words and for all the encouraging comments, I really appreciate it! I’ll be back and try to do a follow up one when we get some more family pictures, we’ve got a month until that Covid stuff starts kicking in, so that’s a bit of a let down to have a month off! I’ll be back tonight though to give her a bottle and to make up for it!

    Thank you again!

  • The second part of your question is really important. Because I work in an organization that awards money to charity, and there is a lot of focus on gender equality, I decided to not give money to the organization that awards money to gender equality because that's not how I feel about it. I donated to a local non-profit that focuses on issues that affect men more than women. I donated because I believe that helping people not just be better, but be better for everyone. That's my philosophy.

    There are plenty of organizations that focus on issues that affect women more than men, but I don't think it's necessarily because they focus on issues that affect men more. I think it's more that they focus on issues that affect women in a more subtle way. For example, they might focus on issues like limited paid parental leave, or access to childcare options that are better than what they have, or a dishwasher that they can trust. They might also be more vocal about issues that affect people of color, or LGBTQ+ people.

    But when you put all of these factors into one mega-project, like an organization that awards money to gender equality, and you focus on the most marginalized, that organization is going to give money to people who aren't even people of color, or people who are color blind. That money is going to people who aren't even poor, or people who aren't poor in any of the ways that you mention.

  • ♀ I’m not even mad. I’m impressed. I don’t know how you do it. I’ve never seen you get angry before. And you are clearly very frustrated. I’m going to go take a shower. And if you won’t shower, I’m going to find a way to get angry. But I won’t make you angry. I’m going to shower. And if you come back, I’m going to make you pay for the rest of your life. Because I’m you. I’m not your friend. I’m not your partner. I’m not even your dad. I’m going to assault you with the full force of my knowledge and my will. And all the while I’ll still make sure that I get the best for you that I possibly can. Because that’s what being a dad is all about. ‘That’s what makes it worth it.’

    I hope you have a great day.
