And 'Brilliant Dad'?
Honestly, I despair. Where would I go, so I too could get myself one?
And what will be the deal breakers?

No cycling/golf as a hobby, and must do at least 51% of everything.

It seems like, "Well, he's not Fritzel with people locked in the basement, therefore Brilliant Dad."

I think;
A text every now and again, when he's arseholed would be romantic.
Should see his other kids at Christmas.
Deal breaker, if his last gf is currently in labour.

Good dad (but is away every weekend with his mates and works til late all week).

I'm single, not a sports fan. In fact, I particularly cannot stand golf and football. No children so no experience of fatherhood. Own home - modest flat but no mortgage. Small car. Employed but on career break until early 2024. Early middle-aged, if that's possible! That's all.

TheTecknician · 15/12/2023 09:04

Oh, and I cannot abide cyclists either. I wish them no ill but they can be a pain when you'd like to overtake.

He’s a great dad although he doesn’t drive because he doesn’t like it, expects lifts everywhere, spends money on coke and hookers and moans that the op is tight; arranges for mates to come over and stay and expects the op to provide hotel services and food; left a job as he doesn’t like getting up early; and it was the op’s fault for not waking him

He’s such a good dad, he’s spoken to our 9 year old at least twice and altho he hasn’t actually spoken to our 4 year old yet, I’m sure he will. He’s just so busy with his very important WFH job that means we all need to be silent 24/7.
He’s a great husband too, he’s never shagged anyone else in our bed, only other peoples and hotels which is so considerate as that means I won’t need to change the sheets! He also doesn’t drink too much, only 5-8 pints a night during the week and not too much more at the weekend cause he does so much ❄️
