Thanks Button

Yep. Looks like that day is going to come upon us tomorrow. What a day to celebrate, yeah? Doesn't matter really how one's father treated them I suppose. I mean, he had to put up with you, right? You were the burden in his life and you should show nothing but thanks toward him... after all, he was there... when it was convenient for him. But he WAS there. He can prove it. I should be grateful for those rare times!

I haven't gifted him a grandson/daughter yet. I am again single, working a 9-5 job, selfishly living a sedentary lifestyle with few real prospects in life and I'm glad it pisses him off. A lot of my childhood memory has been forgotten but what I do know is that you were never there ever.. EVER for me as a father. So what the fuck do I owe you NOW.

Fuck I hate fathers day. It's just a shitty reminder of how pathetic and useless I am.

it felt good to type this out. yahooka is a good thing and you can push me as much as you want.

<3 thank you button.

Father's are someones child who grew up with huge ass responsibilities, and alot of expectations on their shoulders...as for the deadbeats..

No Father's Day FOR YOU!

Happy Fathers Day you grumpy bastards!

A bunch of things I now do as a Father that I didn't when I was wasn't....

-Picking up the dog poop.

-Learning how barrettes work.

-Playing dolls with my daughter. I solved that one by getting Buzz Lightyear and Woody for myself.

-Dropping whatever I am doing to fix whatever just broke.

-Getting dressed and going out at 9:00 at night for batteries when it's freezing and
there is fresh snow on the ground because my daughters musical night light won't stay on long enough for her to go to sleep.

-Allowing my instruments to be abused, even if only slightly for my daughters enjoyment.

-Inflicting pain or discomfort on myself because it makes my daughter laugh.

-Teaching my daughter to say 'Grape Donut' instead of 'God Dammit'

-Remaining silent rather than telling that son of a bitch that just cut me off how I really feel.

-Allowing myself 10 minutes more travel time, so I never feel like I have to rush with her.

-After making three different things lunch that she said she wanted and then changed her mind about, making a fourth, because she's sick and I'll do anything to comfort her.

-Carefully screening out the crappy kid movies before I sit down to watch any of them.

-Enjoying the classics like Pink Panther, Tom and Jerry, Huckleberry Hound etc, all over again.

So my dad got his 1 year chip about 3 weeks ago. Friday night he disappears, spends the night at a friends watching movies. This morning comes home and sleeps in his car in front of our apartment from before noon to 5, not before sleeping front of the house my sister was spending the night at for about 3 hours earlier that day.
Comes in the house slurring and stumbling muttering about "I need cancer" "should jump off a cliff" goes to sleep until 1:30 am, wakes up for 10 minutes says "I should jump off the balcony". I talk to him for a bit, he doesn't remember any of Friday or Saturday and all of this is apparently because none of us had anything planned for fathers day.
Even though we were acting like none of us had any solid plans and we were gonna have a whole big thing for him ready when he got home from church. Steak dinner and such.

So fuck fathers day.

^Yea, I felt like that for a long time. My Dad was never around.

You're learning more about being a Father than you may realize right now, though.

You'll see.
