<p>^^^ You have no idea how lucky you are.</p>
<p>^^You had kneel in rice?</p>
<p>I heard that hurts like a mother.</p>
<p>Greenery, you HAVE a wonderful dad. And he HAS you to live on through. Wow!</p>
<p>I don’t know if I believe in corporal punishment. Psychological is more effective if done right in any case. My dad’s alright, I’m most grateful to him for his great genes - but they may have come with a few negative aspects as well. But he’s really a great person, despite having a lot of flaws. He could strike it rich soon, but he’s cheated on my mother. He’s smart, and he’s finally becoming responsive to change, and becoming a lot better of a person lately. I’ve never been close with him because he’s been so busy supporting the family and his own ambitions, but he makes a good attempt. Thanks, Dad.</p>
<p>*A lot of what applies to him applies to me as well. Trying to change too.</p>
<p>**And my mom - well, my mom is the greatest mother in the world, hands down (sorry guys, it’s true), and she’s the reason I’ve ever done anything with my life.</p>
<p>My dad is a ****ing hermit.</p>
<p>^^ Sorry man, my mom pwns yours.</p>
<p>intenex, I appreciate how you glean the good qualities out of dad for your own good. You sound like you have a healthy attitude, choosing seeing the glass half full instead of just half empty. Nice!</p>
<p>^^ I challenge you to a duel over our moms.</p>
<p>Truelove, you’re the one with the great happy attitude here. Wish I had an attitude more like the one you’ve exemplified here. Keep it up, you’re golden.</p>
<p>My mom’s better than your mom…but my dad…nah.</p>
<p>Funny how a Father’s Day thread slowly trails off into a father-bashing mother-loving thread. One more reason I’ll never have kids! The ungrateful bastards.</p>
<p>^^ You’re ON, biznatch.</p>
<p>^^Or you can just try to love your kids that you may have instead of being a ****** and not showing or guiding them.</p>
<p>Too much work MattNC. I know my limitations, and they are far too limited to have kids. Too self-centered, I don’t understand other humans, and on a whim I’d take my kids wingsuit flying at the age of 5.</p>
<p>^That sounds fun.</p>
<p>He never gives us any money, lives in another country, has a ridiculously short temper, and is always berating my mom. He doesn’t give us enough money even though my mom works very long irregular hours with not enough income.</p>
<p>/bitter</p>
<p>Are there ANY positive qualities in dear old dad out there? I did not mean to make all of you angry or sad. I’m sorry :(</p>
<p>My Dad is the best teacher I have ever met. He had guided me throughout my elementary years and half of my middle school years. Without him, I sincerely doubt I can accomplish what I have achieved. </p>
<p>My parents are the reason why I insist in being admitted to a respectable college and earning a good income. They work their asses off for me, and I’m not going to let them down.</p>
<p>What an awesome son you are to acknowledge their sacrifices and then to work your butt off to honor them and yourself 
!</p>
<p>I hate my dad. He left us five years ago for some other woman and doesn’t care about us at all. The only money he sends automatically comes out of his paycheck even though he makes four to five times as much as my mom. He pretends to care about me and my brother even though he clearly doesn’t. I wish it wasn’t this way and that I could have a relationship with him.</p>
<p>Well, I understand that a lot of people don’t have fathers in their lives, or deadbeats, or whatever. I’m always incredibly happy that my dad is just here with us, helping out and fixing things. Then even before I was born he was raising my brothers who weren’t even his and they just came over today to say happy fathers day to him (also interesting to everyone is that my dad is fully mexican and my brothers are half mexican by their mom and half black by their biological father, so you see these two seemingly black guys that call a little mexican man their father). He’s really proud of me and just wants me to be happy and I love him.</p>
<p>(also love my mom, if I could be half the woman she is I’ll be a great)</p>
