A decade later: My kids don’t talk to me. I don’t get it.
A decade? I would cut ties with this asshole 5min after this message. (guess it depends how old the kid in the post is at the time)
Easy for you to say. Most of the time kids will try to be a part of their parent’s lives. It’s really easy to suggest you’d crash out at the first opportunity, but a lot of people in abusive relationships don’t for a multitude of reasons we won’t fit into this discussion. Especially true for kids as parents are a child’s whole world. There’s no shortage of tales of kids spending a lifetime trying to work around a parent who is abusive or destructive.
don’t ever talk
backto me againlook, the kids’ hands were tied. What were they supposed to do?
Not sure how old you are, but if you’re an adult I’d definitely cut them out. If you’re a kid I’m sorry you have to deal with it. Just know it will get better. My dad was like this ver-batim, and while it sucks not having a support system when you’re a young adult, it’s better than dealing with the toxicity
with the “boy” at the end, this could verily be said by Hades in its game
Not much an internet stranger can offer but best wishes and recognition that you understanding its a problem is a sign you already have to tools to move on and succeed, make good choices and keep yourself safe and well when you can.
Good luck to you.
This is a good way to make certain that I only show up to your funeral to make sure you’re dead.
I’ve met people like this. They have the 70’s style mindset and are terrible leaders.
Yes daddy o
Plot twist: this is just OP’s dom texting him, not father.
This is clearly a Dom/Sub relationship. Don’t kink shame.
Print this on a mug as a gift.
Hot him with the 👍
Or the 🖕🫵💀
kick him in his tiny balls and call him boy from now on
Fuck with him till he hits you and report to the police
I’ll take “dad’s who die alone in retirement homes” for 3000, Alex
Op should send that back in reply lmao
With dad crossed out.: “I’ll take
dadssirs who die alone in retirement homes for 3000, Alex”**sirs who die alone in retirement homes
I vote for him to stay in his own unmaintained home rather than making the other residents deal with him.
If you’re not estranged, there are a number of states that will require you to ensure they’re cared for, and even require you to pay the state back for their care.
Also a possibility of being charged with elder abuse, if you witness an elderly parent living in squalor.
That’s my dad. I’m no contact for over 20 years. I told him the only way I would talk to him again is if he would go to a psychiatrist/psychologist with me (I want to make sure) his answer was a string of offenses. Now he talks to my SIL about how much he loves me but that I never rewlly loved him and he don’t know why. The audacity
What kind of dad doesn’t want to be called “dad”? That’s a title of the highest honor. Anyone can call me “sir”. There are only three people in the world who call me “dad.”
Fathers that have inadequacy issues.
Yes dad 😇
(It’s a joke, laugh.)
My 5 year old has recently started trying out various different titles. I’ve been (by their choice) Dad, Daddy, Dada, Papa, Mister, and probably a few more including (occasionally) my actual first name. I do like “Dada” because I remember when it was their only word and it was used to express excitement at my presence, but I don’t mind any of them because whatever they call me, they’re calling me with love. As long as I can tell that they’re referring to me, I’ll always respond. I agree with you, though; I certainly don’t want the relationship depicted in the original picture.
They sometimes called their mother “Maker,” which is kind of an interesting choice IMHO, but the mother has pretty much the same attitude about it that I do. I call the kid “Little Bean” sometimes and plan to continue doing so no matter how big they get. Also, as a related side note, I got a lot of mileage out of all the bean memes on Lemmy back when that was the thing.
Im cracking up at maker, though id hold that in my back pocket if I was the kid since it radiates such sass.
They actually do hold it in reserve! They mainly use it when instructed to do something they don’t want to, like cleaning up.
“Please pick up the mess you made before getting out any more toys.”
robotic voice “Yes, Maker. Cleaning up.”
They’re a great kid with a lot of personality.
edit: Line breaks. I always get those wrong.
Our oldest, who is almost 17, calls me by my first name. Although I have heard her refer to me as “dad” when she thinks I’m not in earshot. When I adopted her, I promised she would never have to call me “dad” unless she wanted to.
We’ve since turned it into a running joke where when anyone asks why she calls me by my first name, she’ll tell them she did something so bad that she was never allowed to call me dad again as punishment.
Hah, nice.
Calling you “Dad” only out of earshot is sweet in a teenagery way.
Mister would crack me up ngl
It is pretty cute. They only started doing it recently, so I’m not sure where they got it.
It makes me think of Dresden Files, wherein the protagonist lives with a cat named “Mister.”
Sure, but how many have called you daddy?
Only your mom. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Don’t get a full of yourself, though. She calls EVERYONE Daddy.
Block and report to authorities
