I was out driving with my mom earlier coming back from the market. We stop at a red light and we see a dad with two young children crossing the street. They looked to be under 5 years old and I shit you not, he was not even holding their hands. He was just walking behind them and the two kids were holding hands. My mom said "What an idiot father".
Seriously, are some fathers really this lazy? If my dad did this (luckily that never happened) and my mom found out, she would kill him.
I swear you need to vet even after you become parents.
Fathers are the most incompetent caregivers. Without the mother they are emotionally unavailable and close to being a fulltime deadbeat. Yet they have a nerve to blame single mothers.
A woman had to go to jail because she didn't jump after a kid in the lake, her reasons was that she can't swim. She brought the kid back to his father twice after he wandered off but the father still didn't keep an eye on him and after the third time wandering off he fell in the lake.
When you see children with parents stay away from them, don't alert the parents if they aren't bothered to be parents and just walk away. They make you responsible.
It ticks me off so much to see how little most dads pay attention to their children's safety. Kids running around a busy parking lot? They're with their dad. Nearly drowning at the pool? They're with their dad. Wearing shorts and a t-shirt when it's 40 degrees outside? Dad.
And what gets me even more is whenever the mom says anything, the dad makes it out like she's crazy for, you know, caring about if her children die or not.
I see this all the time, i live near a school and i always have to drive 10x more careful around there because for some reason it always seems to be men walking out in front of my car. A few weeks ago i was driving and this dad walked right out in front of my car while trying to drag his child out on the road with him and i had to slam the breaks (and i was driving slower than the speed limit cause this shit happens all the time) while his little girl just stood there on the sidewalk looking at me like she was saying 'are you seeing this shit too?', i looked in my rear view mirror and he didn't even cross back over to get her, he was waving her to run across a road by herself, she looked about 8 years old. it was absolutely shocking.
I also see so many men who push their kids in the stroller with one hand while their body has this weird stance of being so far back towards the stroller like they are trying to give the impression they aren’t connected with the pram or something, like its embarrassing or not 'masculine' for a man to be pushing his own child or like they don't want to do it, it reeks of insecurity to me.
Reason #4239654217 why I'm never having kids. For a man, a woman putting her life on the line to birth their children is one of, if not the greatest honor he will ever receive in his sad, sorry life, and 95% of the fathers bumbling around today are NOT deserving.
