Mums
 

Currently there are at least three threads on page 1 of General Chat all about Mums. Of course they're necessary creatures (cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing come immediately to mind!) but what about we poor bloody Dads?

Just because there are more female members on RYL surely doesn't mean that the site has to become some sort of Girlie convention - or is it?

Tony (in male chauvinist mode).

...I havn't spoken to my dad for getting on 2 years.
Hate to tell you, but, alot of them are absolute bastards.

My Step Dad is awesome though. So yey for him.

And yey for you too Tony!

Dicky!

never had a dad around myself but i'm sure they're useful Tony *hugs* stereotypically arent dads supposed to teach us how to fix/make things, how to ride a bike, how to cook a good bbq?
anyway without dads there wouldnt be any kids!

soph.

My Dad's ace, though he's more of a woman than my Mum!
He also isn't very Dad like, goes out clubbing more often than I do and has a new boyfriend far more frequently than I do. But he's lovely and he always has nice food and lots of alcohol in his house.

:nono:
Take it back.

Oh no you di'nt...
-wags fingers-

My father amuses me =D
He is also a bit good when I go very very mental.
He used to completely freak out and not understand all my SI type stuff but now he's fantastic. (His mum and grandmother were both sectioned and he suffers from depression quite a bit...so it was all really hard for him)
And he says things like "I still like the occasional spliff every now and then" and "Can I say ballbags at the dinner table?" (to which I replied only if you do it like Russell brand...followed by an awful impression.) which make my day!
AND he came to Placebo with me =D
And prbably knows a hell of a lot more about current music than me.
He's one of these really...interested people..he's always looking to learn something and like...he's just facinated by nature and science and stuff.
My dad is a completely fantastic person and I don't know where I'd be without him.

Seeee Tony? I could write an essay about my dad if you wanted =p

My dad's superman.
FACT.
There's no person who it'll be possible for me to love more then I love my dad.

I'm such a daddy's girl it's sickening.

Amongst other things, like teaching you how to fix shelves while they sit back with a beer, Dads are for hugging. Don't ever forget it ...

Tony (did I really start this thread?)

yes you did start this thread. and since i dont have a dad can i hug my uncle Tony?

It's a very well known fact that hugs off the Dad can and will cure all ailments. Ranging from annoying stupid boys, to having no money, to feeling sick, to just generally having a rather bad day.

:thumbup:

I take back my previous post.
I think you answered your own question...
By your own admission, what do dad's do?

My daddy can cook fantastically, but he chooses to live off southern fried chicken and mushy peas. He doesn't really clean. He's a fab ironer, though.

I live with my mum for convenience sakes - we share the same food tastes, have the same cleanliness values, both want to (and do) travel lots - whereas with my dad, we go to the pub, do the crossword, and have conversations about an expanding universe.
Fun times!

Hmm....let's think...what does my father do?? Oh, I know:
-Finds fault with everything I do
-Hates me because I'm female
-Find girlfriends who can abusive me for years without him noticing despite me trying to tell him
-Hits me when I annoy him (normally by just being in the room)
-Finds other gf's who have sons who are rapists....and then attacks him with a knife, leaving me to do the clearing up
-Despite all that expects me to sort out his life for him
-Moans at me if I dont contact him for weeks, but doesn't once make any attempt to contact me.
-Tells me I shouldn't still be at school, and that I'm lazy for doing so
-Screams at me for getting "only 1 A*" in my GCSE's (the rest were A's - what more does he want)

Erm....I could go on, but I'll stop there.

But yes - I'm sure some fathers are excellent...my stepdad is. Unfortunately, mine isn't one of them!

Tony opened up a can of worms me think.

Not ALL Dads are evil, and I do indeed miss Daddy hugs, dispite being 20, however, I have known the past generation of fathers to be less than admirable.

I'm no longer on my fathers will, I am dropping his name in both my middle and last names. I no longer refer to him as Dad, mearly "Nick", often followed by the word "****".

Dicky!

my dads an alcoholic so meh.

Neither of my parents are better than one another.

I like the way you made a thread to complain about the amount of threads about mums and nt dads, yet still named in mum. ho hum

Well like XxXflowerfairyXxX, I like & love my daddy lots.
We get on really well, have a similar sense of humour & music taste & yeah, we're just pretty similar & it's awesome.
=)

My dad doesn't hug me.

Ever.
Can't actually remember when he last hugged me actually.
