Deadbeat Dads Day

Fatherhood frank h submitted this article from TooGoodReports about the media hype over "deadbeat dads." It's an interesting, insightful article that is satirical in many places, and unfortunately, all too true. "Wake up guys! 'Deadbeat Day' is coming, and if you think you can escape the snare of a feminized society, you should be a Hollywood script writer because you are living in virtual reality."

What do you mean Deadbeat Dad day? The nerve of those people... I mean those poor dads who are busting their butts to make the child support payments...it makes me sick! It's just too bad that society never taught men how to be parents...and then forcing them into fatherhood when they're not ready or when they don't want to! And father's day is just around the corner...and albeit it won't get any better!

Adam, Marc, Scott, Nightmist, and Trudy what do you think?

My personal opinion is that no one is ever really "taught" parenting. Parenting skills, like everything else, depend on a lot of things: individual personality, environment, the personalities of the spouse and children. I'm not a dad (but would someday like to be), but I am lucky enough to have had both a mother and a father in the same home all my life. I can tell you that when I was born neither of them knew a damn thing about parenting, but I am grateful that they stuck with each other and stuck by me and my brother. Both my parents were an integral part of my upbringing. I would be a different person today if one of them had not been there.

I only wish I could convey to the misandrists the important role my father played in my life. Give a man a chance, and he may become a good dad. Force him to do something he doesn't want to do, and you're never going to get a good father out of him.
