Like seriously everyone else I've ever met ever lives with a single mom and that's fine and all but dads are so neglected. It's like nobody ever acknowledges that they can be single parents too, and if that's not alienating as hell to someone like me then IDK really what is.
Plus all these single moms feel entitled to try to claim that Father's Day should be about them too and it's like. Uh, no. Screw off.
Like I honestly don't like and have no reason to celebrate Mother's Day but I don't go around claiming that the holiday should be removed because UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE I realize that other people actually have moms that they grew up with and feel indebted towards and want to appreciate for a day. I don't feel the need to break into every discussion and be like "WELL I didn't have a mom there so LOL screw you I'ma make this about dads now, moms suck lmao". I don't know why these people somehow lack this ability.
Like, suck it up and get in line, kid, you're not the only one who lacked a parent growing up. I don't care if you hate your dad, that's no excuse to try to take Father's Day away for people like me who didn't have anyone else.
Sorry, I feel strongly on this topic. lol
Lol definitely. I'm pretty sick of people thinking mums can do no wrong too, just because
your mums acted like mums doesn't mean our mums were the same. And favouring them over fathers is definitely just BS.

Yeah, I've heard so many stories of dads not getting custody despite being better parents and it makes me scratch my head. Like, what is the reasoning behind this? You think that the kid's well-being will be better off with an abusive or unfit mom as opposed to a relatively normal or well-adjusted dad? Isn't that kind of insulting to, I dunno, like all men, ever?
And yeah, I agree. It's very narrow of people to assume that all moms are great just because theirs were. I certainly know and have heard of some horrible fathers as well (hell you hear about them all the time, more than terrible moms if I'm honest) so I'm not going to go out and claim that everyone should love their dads and that they're all amazing because that's not actually how things work. lol
I don't think most people realize that people actually live in family structures aside from one-mom-one-dad or one-mom. lmao
