    Has anyone else noticed the rise of Super Dad. They are fully informed of everything child related, take the little "guys" to all activities, of which there are plenty.

    Have a smug little look, tend to dress as metro's. Love having a "coffee and chat" with other mothers :)

    Catch a grip, no wonder most 5 year old boys are girls in all but physical form.

    God forbid dads be good parents
    Good parenting is solely the role of the mother yea? Makes them womanish?

    Yeah,who ever heard of 'catch a grip'! That makes no sense, how can you catch a grip? The word grip is an action word/verb, you can't catch one.

    Gosh next thing they'll be looking for things like paternity leave and to be considered equally as a parent with the mother.

    Yep I'd be one of those, well clued up. I even get my son involved when we go to such places loike Eddie Rockets and we chat to the beautiful Eastern European women and the we high 5 each other while eating chicken wings in Louisianan Hot Sauce!

    I'd say there will be a few things you'll be catching and a grip wont be one!!

    I think there is nothing as masculine as being a great hands on father. Most women find it very attractive. ;)

    I'd give this a more considered reply but right now I'm struggling to give a fcuk for such an ill informed opinion.

    Poor effort OP tbh.

    That's not a lot of use to most men as they're already in relationships and have children (hence this thread) so who cares if women find it attractive!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    Damn right OP! If I ever saw my kids I'd definitely not get involved in their rotten little lives.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    Paul Watson is right! Growing up, when my parents divorced, the only contact I had with my Father was to ring me up and let me know how much of a disappointment I am, and when the courts forced him to have parental access, it mostly consisted of getting him his cigarettes and hourly beatings. I remember once we had no money for food, so he swapped me for a pot noodle. I turned out OK!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    Have to say, feeling a lot better about all the stupid threads I started over the years reading this one.

    And wearing metrosexual clothes - it's outrageous Joe

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    well, wouldnt you agree its always nice if ones partner finds one attractive?? Doesnt have to mean someone else finds you that way :)
    I think women who have partners that make great fathers, would find them very attractive.
    Could just be me though.;)

    It is so attractive, I love how amazing my boyfriend is with our daughter.

    She's gone away with my parents for the weekend since yesterday evening and this morning he text me and said he missed her... Well if I had of been at home ;);)

    Hopefully this will reverse the trend of men being afraid to be near kids.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 960 ✭✭✭cletus van damme


    fair play to the OP for bring up this travesty.

    nothing worse than bringing my kids to the play ground to be confronted by metro sexual fools with a gadget,bag or lotion for everything all the while giving you the snooty looking while the drinking their fair trade coffee .

    It is possible to go to a playground without the need for coffee..:rolleyes:


    I think they're upset that they're too old be hipsters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Inbox


    I agree with op. Hopefully i'll be off shore when my first child is born. It's horrific and society bullies me to be there :(

    Rereg. I've been here long before you were even born (assuming you were born in 2008).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,578 ✭✭✭monkeysnapper


    I'm one of them op, I even hate coffee but feel I have to drink it in the presence of the other ladies in the local mother/ toddler group I go to every week.

    We're looking to get the name of the group changed to make it fair for the fathers . I was horrified last week when one of the mothers asked me if I could fix the puncture in her apple candy. Do I look like I can afford another hand manicure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,927 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Hmmm...

    Father of 3 girls here OP. Take them to swimming lessons, birthday parties etc...jesus i even took them on holidays to italy this year (tuscany, just to rub in the metro, middle class smugness even more).

    Yeah i've even taken them to the park (with my coffee in hand).

    Guess what i looked forward to more than anything in the world when i was a young kid? My dad coming home from england on a friday night/saturday morning from driving a truck - then going with him to the cafe for a sausage roll and a juice on a saturday afternoon before he got his stuff together for heading back to england on a sunday morning.

    Yeah, fcuk these kids nowadays with both parents wanting to be involved in their lives...

    You get involved in your girls' lives? Bad enough fathers getting involved in their sons' lives but at least they do need to show the little tykes how to fight and do back-breaking laborious jobs.

    But fathers getting involved in their daughters' lives? I'm sorry but you have the ghey.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,390 ✭✭✭clairefontaine


    I don't agree most five year old boys are just like girls nowadays.

    But I do think kids overall are very cushioned these days.

    But then I think every generation says that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,429 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Where's OP at?!?

  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,734 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    So OP, I should just push my young fella out of a moving car near the school, while eating a raw steak, throw a hand grenade, while chopping wood with a dead hooker in the boot and swigging whiskey and not look back?

    Thanks for the parenting advice.

    When I bring my kids to school or sport I make sure to stand around like a cranky old cnut and refuse to talk to anyone in case I get mistaken for one of them metrosexual, smug dad's. I miss the old days - when I could come home from work and slap the wife around a little if the dinner wasn't on the table.
