Ok guys, what da hell is wrong with the world man? Are we appreciated as a father? I mean all over the world people tend to talk about how good Mum is but no one never mentioned anything about dads/fathers!

There are songs about mum - Dear mama, mama, Sweet mother etc.....the only song ever written about dad was "papa was a rolling stone"....I mean wtf. We go to work and do all those hours, so as to make ends meet and feed all those young monsters (meant that in a good way) and yet it would appear that mum are favourites.

The country we live in favours the mothers - Just ask fathers for justice :p I think as a dad we deserve more recognition - forget fathers day, give us every day as mum gets.

And if any mum is reading this, you can argue all you want but remember that we are just as important as you mothers....so let us have our recognition - Let musicians write more touching music about dad..you know, all the non-sense we gotta go through to bring money home, feed the family, put a roof over their heads,oh lets not forget bringing them into this world initialy...

Anyway fathers like me...what do you say, we deserve more recognition isnt?

He smiles, gurgles, and is starting to laugh a bit, and its 90% me he does it too.

Thats reward enough, for now. :D
 
If I get to play ball even once with my child/children that'll be enough recognition as a human being that I'll ever need, let alone recognition as a father.
 
BTW - I've not been on the forums constantly since baby Vis was born - I just happened to check for the first time just as El-R posted.... ;)

Papa don't preach - Madonna

Haven't googled yet, probably others. :D

Go on then, how'd you manage that. Most 10 week old kids can't use a keyboard never mind father a child. You must be very gifted :p

[edit]There's loads of songs about dads :)

Ok that was an understatment (grammar?) but you get the idea, all those songs are just not on the same level as the one written for mums. :p

Most songs about mothers are written by their daughters, one's written by men are just an attempt at appearing sensitive :p

That's just wind I'm afraid :p
 
What annoys me is that the kids at school ( my own included ) do a mothers day concert and make mothers day cards for thier mums :mad:

No sign of fathers day cards or concerts :(

Call the Dail Mail tbh.

Seriously, ask that they do a concert etc for Fathers Day if you are that bothered.

I asked about the cards and was given the reply that not all kids live with thier father so it would be insensitive to get them making cards for them :confused:

Yeah, this is part of what im talking about - why do mummies get more recognition than us? Not fair, we should do something about it...what exactly, i dont know.
