Breastfeeding rates are increasing. Don't see the men helping much with that

To be fair while definitely more of a drain on the woman support is generally needed from both sides to make breastfeeding a success.

It's a really really hard thing for a woman to do and a good father supporting them, and staying up with the baby when they won't feed, or burping the baby after they have fed makes a massive difference.

The OP is such a troll

My kids all grown up and now earning a few quid!!! So I like to see some 'payback' and happily put in my 'spake' for Father's Day!! Hope there is a Dashcam present coming as well as a TK Max voucher for something I am watching!!! I drop hints for past few weeks.......

My time to be pampered!!

Likely some kid in class didn't have a dad in their life. Schools are very sensitive to that.

Correct although we usually suggest to the kids that they make a card for their grandfather or even an uncle. I had two in my class that did that this year and the other kids were as jealous as could be that some children got to make one for their grandad... Very happy and lucky reaction from all the children, in my head I'd pictured everything up to a Jeremy Kyle episode.

Obviously if their dad has recently died or there's been a recent separation the whole thing would be avoided.

Ah, After Hours.

A thread about fathers day and people still make it about how women have it harder.

At least nobody has tried it on with the ‘what about si gle mothers’ yet.

Yet.

WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT SHIT ???

It's true.

It's kind sadly Ironic.

His Dad was so certain he got a rough ride and went full on MRA and wanted his son to be raised that way.

He ended making his kid scared ****less of him. He was also kind of embarrassed.

He was only in his early twenties when his dad died. I don't think he was mature enough to see past his Dad's behavior and just love him unconditionally.

I don't think the father understood HOW he was coming across to his son.

I have heard other people telling similar stories.

This other guy made a video about his dad. Its sadly similar.

Well worth watching.

I have heard lots of stories like this.

Like my mate he also regretted not patching things up with his father before he died.

I am sure there are mom versions of the story too.

As the son of a ****ing useless father I make sure my kids will never have that same feeling.

I got a lie in this morning(after being woken with hugs and kisses from my youngest daughter), some handmade cards and a lovely breakfast. That'll do for me.

Don't put Daddy in the box!

The OP explicitly mentioned how women have it easier, I was disagreeing

You are making it out like I'm completely off topic and being the first to mention how women have it. It's literally the point of the OP

if you need proof of this, look at the maria bailey case. "Woman and Mother".

The funny thing is that in the over exaggerated sentiments of the OP's views - there is a wee kernel of truth there. But it is has been thus for many years now. Do fathers / men care? I don't really think so.

How Soon Is Now · 16-06-2019 12:36PM

There's less made about fathers day then mothers day cause most men don't want the fuss in general!

Love me ma and da more then anything and I've a very good yet slightly different relationship with both of them the mother is clearly ahead in the fussy stakes when it comes to these types of days though!!

Usually always pay for me das ticket to whatever Dublin match is on around the time as we always go threw out the year so he's delighted with that!

I got a bottle of whisky and matching pj's for meself and the kids so I'm happy with that!!

My old Dad always said Fathers Day was made up by the greetings card manufacturers in America. Also mentioning Mothers Day was an old traditional religious day.

I still tell my kids don't bother with me but make sure you get Mum a card for Mothers Day.

Society have placed women on this pedestal, when the reality is they are increasingly opting for easy c sections , couldn't be arsed making bottles, taking way too much time off thus causing chaos for the civil and public service. It's no wonder the HSE is the way it is with the amount of maternity, parental leaves going on. God bless the marriage ban when it was in place.

Easy c-sections? Get the **** outta here with that.

You should just charge them by the hour for the time they spend with you because nothing says "I love you kids" like "show me the money".

Today is not about saying 'I love you Kids'..... its about 'I love you Dad!! And here's something to say 'thanks.... I know its something you want'.

I find having to go through the motions of buying cards and all that bollocks absolutely spirit crushing. So many of our life 'choices' are little more than the consequences of being swept along in society's tsunami of bullshit.

Jesus, lad, it’s a card, box of Black Magic, and a bottle of cheap plonk. It’s hardly a damning indictment of society. You come across as extremely curmudgeonly.

It’s a load of sheite. Mothers and Fathers day. If your parents don’t know always that you love them and appreciate what they’ve done for you over the years, they only have themselves to blame for raising an ungrateful little get. And if they do, these days should be seen for what they are, a way to get people to spend more. Only fools buy in to it.

Bah humbug. Mothers and Fathers day isn't just about the parents. Little kids especially love making cards and bringing breakfast in bed. It's a bit of fun and you don't have to spend a fortune to have a nice time. I think this is a lovely post from a Dad happy to be the centre of attention:

Just got my cards and pressies from the three chicks....they're downstairs now making breakfast for me to have in bed....funny part is that they will hop into the bed and eat it all and I'll have to make my own later lol lol

Kids are only small for a little while. Let them have some fun and enjoy it.

Spanish Eyes · 16-06-2019 04:17PM

Oh FGS, I wish I had my Dad around all the time, not just today, but it does feel raw with all the sentiment going on and you miss them terribly.

What I'd give for a big bear hug right now. Bless you Da.

How it goes from the same posters:

Women's day - "what about men" / " here are all the ways women are bad"
Men's day - "go men! But also people care more about women wah wah"
Mothers day - "what about men" " / " here are all the ways women are bad"
Fathers day - "people care more about women wah wah" " / " here are all the ways women are bad"

Leads me to believe that some people just want to give out about women
