Happy Father's Day

[Traveler]

This is a sincere message to anyone on AM who is a father;

Thank you for trying to be there for your children, whether they live with you or not.
Thank you for bringing another person into this world, whether they are grateful or not.
Thank you for being supportive of your families, whether it is appreciated or not.
Thank you for being the second part of a relationship that should pass the test of time, whether it has or not.
Thank you for doing everything you can for your children, whether it is difficult or not.
Thank you for spurring the feminist idea of men, and proving that the male of our species is loving, responsible, caring, devoted and is committed to their children's lives...wherever they may be.

Wishing all dads on this forum a happy and well-deserved Father's Day.

I also want to wish Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! You show how a son can be a man and how a daughter sees a man. No feminist can touch the level of my father or any father around here. You are all super heroes to me.

It's hard when no one bothers to even talk about it. (except here)

[felixblue]

Oh, they know, they just dont give a shit, mother raised.. selfish.. etc.. If it's not about them, they don't think it matters..

My mother and younger brother got a chance to see my dad, yesterday. I couldn't go because I was working at the time.

When you don't hear from your kids for months, years even.. Every birthday and fathers day you hope for the sign.. Sometimes, it comes, sometimes, the kick in the teeth hurts harder than if you are slammed against the curb and left to rot..

Which, effectively, many dads are..

No doubt, when they want money.. I will hear straight away.. Always the way..

Which is why I always make an effort to spend time with my dad, whether it's face to face or on the phone. I am very fortunate to have my dad in my life and never take him for granted, as many kids go without their father usually due to the mother being a bunghole.

I got a nice Makita biscuit joiner (wood working tool) for Fathers day from my boys. I would have rather seen them face to face, but they are out on their own and making their mark on the world.

I'm spending fathers day rebuilding a worn out lawnmower tractor with my neighbor who's 3 kids refuse to talk to him because he divorced their mother because of repeated cuckoldry. A weekend day like any other..........

I'm sure they're with you in spirit and put great thought into that gift.

Yep, it is a nice tool. Now I have no excuse to complete the cabinets in my basement rec room.
