Just as it says.

Without context yabu

Many of the dads mentioned here weapnise incompetence to extraordinary levels so criticism is pretty fair.

Be helpful if you could say when you think it's been misplaced

You're being too vague.

TooBigForMyBoots · 16/03/2025 23:35

Most of us know dad's.

AMurderofMurderingCrows · 16/03/2025 23:36

As far as I can see it's only the shite dads and they villainize themselves.

GCAcademic · 16/03/2025 23:38

It’s because women are sick of men expecting them to do everything. Like, for example, having to drag out of the vagueposting OP what they’re going on about because they’re too bloody lazy to type more than four words.

If you mean the dad who wanted to use his kid's emotions as weapons to threaten his wife who had the temerity to want to divorce him, it's because this is abusive and deserves to be identified as such.

Emily and Milly. Obviously DH is an abuser.

DH left at the airport, oh how disappointed they all are that OP isn’t leaving him 😂

Catsbreakfast · 16/03/2025 23:40

Because people don’t like to look at themselves first.

Why do YOU think?

VisitationRights · 16/03/2025 23:42

It doesn’t hth

SerafinasGoose · 16/03/2025 23:42

It doesn’t. The vast majority of women posting about relationship problems here will protest as to what a wonderful father he is, having mentioned in the same post the myriad reasons why he isn’t at all a good father.

Men get a far easier ride than women do on this site.

Is this a TAAT?
