bad fathers need appreciation too…..

Fathers day, to be honest I don’t know anybody who knows how to celebrate this day. I mean, what do you get your dad? The big piece of chicken?

Today I am going to appreciate the terrible dads. Why? They have been equally important in the development of society.

Let me shout out the different types of fathers

The Passive Father: Yes, the dad who was remotely involved in the growth and development of his children largely leaving it to the mother. These dads made their kids see their mothers as an example on whose masculine qualities to emulate and most importantly helped their kids lose that need of fatherly approval (Which is important in early childhood btw)

The Critical Father: Shout out to the dads who tried to achieve their own dreams through their kids in an attempt to either control or improve their self worth. Shout out to them for having the need to have their kids do stuff their way so that they could say to their friends “yeah, My kid got this PHD like me”, thus making their kid neglect their true calling and become average at something he was not really good at.

The Abusive father: shout out to these dads that helped their kids become those who seek approval from society because their confidence was never developed at an early age.

The Example dad: Shout out to the dads whose actions didn’t match their words. “Don’t drink my son”…. Said the drunk dad. “Work had my son”…. Said the lazy dad.

The Absent dad. Shout out to the absent dads who were not strong enough to take responsibility for their kids and delegated the role to society.

Finally…. Shout out to the children of the above dads who through forgiveness and understanding have decided to become better parents. The above dads are cool too……
