Saw this on Facebook and it pissed me off. Apparently single dads are incapable of creating a "home"

Lecks · 2012-06-23T17:49:28+00:00

Not just single fathers but gay parents aswell, except for lesbians, who'd create an even better home according this logic.

BinaryShadow · 2012-06-23T16:43:03+00:00

I'm a stay-at-home Dad. So home isn't home until 7 o'clock at night?

Theres alot of single fathers out there that have loving homes. I guess some people don't understand you do not need to be a woman to be a good parent.

My father raised me on his own. He was a brilliant parent, my home life with him was better than when my mother was with us, and better than when I visited my mothers on the rare occasions I did. She's not a terrible person. Not abusive, not cruel.. but she wasn't a good parent. She's a good 'friend' now, but my father was my parent. And he was excellent.

He singlehandedly gave me a full and privileged childhood. He worked his ass off every single day for the money, took me on a trip to the sea once a year, disciplined me, took an interest in my school. Not just a good childhood. He gave me a privileged childhood. It was a home, and that house will always be my home because of him. He is my hero.

tl;dr dad is cool

monkat · 2012-06-23T19:09:23+00:00

I think this is the equivalent of a circlejerk for middle-aged stay-at-home wives that have no social lives outside of their family, neighbors that hate them, and FB, not some attack on the quality of male parents.

Just sayin'.

Riverscr · 2012-06-23T19:10:43+00:00

Considering the lack of a pun in this it's probably just someone trying to express their opinion regarding how much they love their mother (though strangely, not simply by say "I love you" to her). I doubt that someone posting this trash on facebook means this as a serious opinion regarding all families and is simply forgetting the Mothers day was in May (or something, apparently I don't love my mom enough).

Jazzeki · 2012-06-23T16:24:33+00:00

more than this being enrageing i find it pittyful. you really have to be fuckup to be that dependant on mommy. i moved away from my mom a few years back where i live is my home even though mom isn't here to clean up my mess. whoever thought this up needs to grow up, and grow up fast.

I was still trying to find the other "m."

MattThePossum · 2012-06-23T19:26:25+00:00

But if someone asserted that women are naturally better homemakers than men (I'm not asserting this), that person would be labeled a sexist pig.

woofoo · 2012-06-23T20:45:36+00:00

Home isn't a home without "un homme"!

(french for "a man")

TheDrunkenChud · 2012-06-23T20:55:07+00:00

that doesn't even make sense. there's only one M in home. so, home isn't home without "ho" "he" "me" "emo" "hem" or "om" (nom nom). stupid moms.

neilmcc · 2012-06-23T18:36:20+00:00

This submission is pathetic. This is the same leftist victim mentality that fuels feminism.

2012-06-23T19:11:42+00:00

My dad fought to get custody of me and is now fighting to get custody of my half-brother. He has raised me since I was three. I'm now 17 and I know that I am a much better person than I would have been had he not gotten custody of me. I love my mom and my brothers mom, but they are still very childish and not fit to be full time mothers.

heimdal77 · 2012-06-23T20:33:29+00:00

Didn't someone just post a article from a study about much greater rates of problems with kids with no dad around? I think part of it was a single dad tends be more reasonable when raising the kid and just focuses on that while a single mother tends to transfer their anger and bitterness onto the child that they have against the other parent and doing it alone.

Vikingdiapers · 2012-06-23T21:41:04+00:00

I grew up as a product of a single father household. My mother abandoned us.

We had a home. Far from ideal but my father did the best he could with what he had.

ziggettyawesomo · 2012-06-23T22:38:45+00:00

Might be completely missing the boat here but my immediate thought was that this was someone just trying to be nice to their mom? Could be some anti-gay bullshit, just what I immediately thought when I saw it.

QuantumPotato · 2012-06-23T23:17:57+00:00

I Don't think it was trying to say Moms are more important then Dads, I think its just saying that Moms are important.

InvaderDem · 2012-06-24T00:01:50+00:00

This doesn't even make sense. The WORD Mom isn't in there, it should say "Home is not Home without 'OM'"

c--b · 2012-06-24T00:29:41+00:00

I think you guys are misunderstanding, this is a suggested respelling of 'home', "MOM" is in quotes you see.

"Ho-mome"

babno · 2012-06-24T00:58:24+00:00

It's not exclusive to the opposite statement of "a home isn't a home without a dad", and a mom is just as important as a dad to a healthy family. While it may have been worded differently, I think you're reading too much into this.

CharlieTango · 2012-06-24T01:26:13+00:00

Its a fucking mothers day spam thing on facebook.

There are much bigger fish to fry in the mra movement, ladies and gents. The fact that this is at the top of our front page scares me

2012-06-23T18:10:30+00:00

It's annoying. But at the same time, I think most women/children will admit that home is nicer when both parents live together. Without a father a home will feel a bit emptier, even if many children cope with this just fine.

sheepcat87 · 2012-06-23T20:50:35+00:00

When did /r/MensRights become /r/Atheism? This just read like a tribute to the mom of the household to me, not an insult to families without one.

xionaxa · 2012-06-23T21:13:09+00:00

especially since my mom causes more stress than home.

bytor_2112 · 2012-06-23T21:17:35+00:00

I read the fact that "mom" is in quotes as a tribute not to just female homemakers, but to those who perform traditionally 'motherly' roles...

puppetry514 · 2012-06-23T21:44:12+00:00

I say home is not home with "me"

Mostly raised by a single Dad here, turned out fine. He did try remarrying at one point but, well, she turned out to be a bit crazy (chasing him around the house with a KNIFE crazy). I never felt so happy and safe in my life as when we left that womans 'home'.

2012-06-24T03:44:58+00:00

you idiots, this isn't an attack on mens rights, or bashing men, its a lame post for "appreciation of mom's". way to read way too much into it guys. clap clap

ccm596 · 2012-06-24T04:07:03+00:00

I barely even mind the message this is sending off (I did say barely, not don't) I just hate how it looks like its supposed to be one of those word-within-a-word, "can't have slaughter without laughter" type things, but the word "mom" is not inside the word "home." :/

FreddyDeus · 2012-06-24T15:28:39+00:00

So you went and shared it.

D'oh.

balzotheclown · 2012-06-25T05:58:19+00:00

I was raised from the time I was 2 on (now 21) by my single father. He raised my sister and I better than my mom ever would have. I love my mom, don't get me wrong, but she wasn't right for the job. When people think that mothers are the reason for everything we have ever done or that they "brought us in and can take us out" and they deserve the highest of respect, I have to disagree. I do respect mothers, the ones that do it right do it well and they are fantastic for it. But to think that they are the only ones that can do it right is appalling.

yolofolife · 2012-06-23T18:24:24+00:00

don wanna be "that guy" but i think this is fake i mean "like if u agree" trying way to hard to make it like facebook.

ThirdEyedea · 2012-06-23T21:14:31+00:00

Forgive me, but I feel like r/mensrights is picking at every little fucking thing nowadays.

Xpariah · 2012-06-23T21:45:24+00:00

Find something to rally behind. Not stupid Facebook posts. Idiots will always post stuff to Facebook but for a lot of people, that image is completely accurate.

"To defend everything is to defend nothing." -Frederick the Great

Stop chasing everything that upsets you on such a minute basis. It makes someone for gender equality appear biased, extremely so. And when you finally have a valid point, no one will listen because you cried wolf one too many times.

2012-06-24T02:52:48+00:00

This post was clearly not intended for single parent households.

2012-06-23T19:57:21+00:00
