Fathers beware - don't cuddle or play with your kids in public!

[mashman]

I think people who are against public [or any] displays of affection by fathers for their children must have been deprived of that as children, and so out of jealousy and spite, create such a hateful bitter atmosphere of puritanical handicapping of fathers...

I wonder what they'll think of the dutch culture of family members kissing each other on the lips?

Yeah, nah. My dad wasn't affectionate from what I remember... it's more likely those who have the attitude of kids being seen and not heard... of which their are too many. Those who have forgotten what it's like to play.

I personally think that the female detective responsible for the case has "issues".

How about White Ribbon doing a find raising exercise for this family and shouting them a trip to Disneyland. Or would that be admitting that not all men are pieces of shit?

Last weekend I was at the park with my son. He was on the swing, I was taking photos - saw a couple of people (parents) watching me take the photos.

Few minutes later he was running around with me and fell - he wanted a quick hug then he said 'i'm okay daddy" and kissed me on the lips (he's 2.5yrs).

Nothing wrong with that IMO - but the watching parents... who knows what they could be thinking!

Sad world indeed.

.... I honestly can not understand where the hell we went wrong. ....

One of the reasons that I decided a teaching career was not for me. For a male it isn't safe to be alone with a young female at any time, and as this case shows it isn't even safe for a father to be with his own kids. I believe it started when education became femininist dominated, and it has already gone so far that any male who suggests a swing back the other way is automatically labled a peadophile.

My reaction to that--THEY CAN ALL GO FUCK THEMSELVES AND THEIR DIRTY MINDS.
Tell me I can't cuddle my kids and brother you got a war on your hands.
Seriously folks WE are society.Its up to us to make it clear we don't accept the ravings of some dirty minded pervert.

Yep go along with you 100%. But when those dirty minded pricks make a complaint it all turns to custard. Cops lose the plot like a bunch of over enthusiastic pig-dogs.

I won't ever stop cuddling my kids.... Anywhere and any time I damn well want.
If I ever get in trouble over it then I'll make it my personal crusade, and the bastards had better be ready. Genuine affection is the single biggest need we have as human beings, (ok, after food and stuff obviously) and we gotta get it in spades from the get-go.

If you ever look around you and wonder why the world is so screwed up; why violence, depression, and suicide are all on the rise, then look no further. We need to know we are loved. When we understand what it is to be loved, we can love others. When we know what it is to go without love, we'll want others to experience that too. It's really very simple.


Interestingly, I had to take my son to Starship a couple of months ago, to the neural ward for some tests. One of the nurses quietly pulled my wife aside and asked her if I ever beat her or the kids. No-one asked me.

I have been accused of having hairy pits and legs ( I dont have red hair or that wwould have been on the list ) But I am not man hater. Dont you dare patronise me, but by Christ I will leap to your defense if I see you being accused of this sort of crap. I wont apologise for the feminist movement at all. I burned the odd bra a few years ago It needed to happen, but I dont think this is being driven by feminists either. I think this sort of shit is being driven by really insecure, screwed up, emotional females that frankly need a good root!

I gets even sadder when you dare not even comment in any direction on the topic because of the label it instantly stamps on you no matter what you view is, if you are a middle aged, white, single male.

Good on you!

I have spent far too much time in hospitals over the last little while. I also got asked if I wanted to talk about abuse at home when I arrived in an ambulance after a collapse at work. No, no I dont! I dont actually have a problem with this one, it may actually be the one safe place that a person can yes, there is a problem.

All three of our kids were girls, twins first up.
I Did it all from day one.Changing em, burping em, feeding em, toilet training em, teaching em to wash everywhere and look after themselves properly.Christ you wouldn't think so to see their rooms now.
God help the fucked up moron who tells me I can't tickle my 20 yr olds or their nearly 18 yr old younger sister.
Never let what other fuckwits think affect how you treat your kids, or your brothers kids or any of your friends kids.
If they are your friends then their kids are! your kids.

Nonsense, continue to do so. It's the best way of identifying all the people you need to avoid/ignore

I'm single, so no issue with kids yet, but fucked what anyone else thinks. Kids are the priority and I'll do what's best for them.

Im so glad a boot up the arse cant be misconstrued.......or i would have been in trouble

is it bad that my elder enjoys being hit?

i've met too many women with daddy issues, i'm not going to pass that on to mine.

touch is an important form of humanoid communication, either good touching or bad touching. i'll smack my kids or twist an ear as soon as hug, tickle, blow rasberries or kiss em.
anyone who wants to raise an objection is welcome to KMA!
(kiss my ass)

[Akzle]

oh. and this BS is due to the over feminsation of teh "society", kids get enough "mum" at home, (i realise this is changing, and now most kids lack any kind of parent at home) they don't need it at school or in the workplace.
the "justice" system, esp the "family" courts paint a picture that anything with a penis is evil. they've been responsible for the breakdown of the traditional (and i believe important) family unit (mum, dad and 2.4 kids, picket fence and a puppy, kinda unit)

the whole "governace" thing has been off since the inception of christianity, they told all the pagans to stop worshiping the earth mother (eternal, giving etc) and bow down before the material father (do as i say and i won't punish you - in hell!), now the church has faded out and government is stepping into the shoes of dad, the head of the family unit.
i'm not buying it.
