Social Happy Father's Day

[scoopj]

Humboldt County, California the games were in Manila. It's a fun game.

Very cool. My kids grew up playing futsal (and soccer). Great game indeed.

I'd wonder if single Dads might report more happiness because raising the kids on their own was something they pursued through legal means (on average) as opposed to the social trend of women just being saddled with the responsibility after being in relationships where they might not have even wanted kids when they had them, but were expected to provide them, then were abandoned. My Grandmother was a pretty miserable Mom, her husband in Vietnam for 8 years, all their kids births corresponding with his shore leave, and religious ideology against contraception as a general concept. Just a thought.

Dads being more involved in activities isnt all its cracked up to be. As a Coach there isnt anything worse than a Dad who overdoes it with his kids. Rules had to be changed here in Vegas because a guy was taking his Son to spar up to 3 times a day at different gyms, and he wasnt a certified Coach. Kid had a headache one night and went to sleep, never woke back up. Subdural hematoma. 16 years-old. I've only seen a crazy Mom once or twice, generally they leave the Coaching to the Coaches. Dads have a bad habit of vicarious living and we see that up to a couple times a month. I train a 12 year-old who has 4 months of boxing under his belt and his Dad started an instagram page for him saying he's an up-and-coming Professional Boxer and keeps skipping training sessions to take the kid to fights to get pictures with fighters no one cares about to put them on the Instagram page. We had to have a conversation about that.

the alternative is that with single moms, the kid probably wont be in sports.

even in married couples, it's more likely the dads contribute to the sporting activities (on top of studies)

- I remember reading that story before. I was always voicerus(spell?) Against kids doing sparring in taekwondo. I was watching a tournament in 2007/9, and a 14 year got knocked out cold. The public started cheering. Was horrible, was a kid, and the same people would be against adultos doing the same in mma.

Also, parents that go watch the classes and cheer their kids are the worst.

Boxing is terrible for Dad Coaches. It wasnt like that when there were more boxing classes available in community recreation centers. But now that it's more commercialized and has a higher pay barrier of entry, it attracts Dads who never fought, but are willing to spend every dime they have so their Son can get hit in the face.

That's a pretty common theme in America. When the family unit breaks apart the biggest need is stability and love and that can come from anyone that steps in to do it.

Its pretty interesting to see a 40-year shift where during the 80's, dudes running away from their Families to knock up younger prettier women was so common it was a running joke in movies and TV shows. In the classic words of Ike Turner: "What I'ma do wit two mo kids?!?!"

Whereas nowadays you have this generation of whiny men all over social media about how "the system favors women" and they cant see their kids. I know a guy like this who is a BKFC fighter, former MMA fighter. Constantly posting about "man issues" and how women keep men from seeing their kids. Truth is he's a mysiginistic @sshole who thinks women are only good for being baby factories, and his ex realized he maybe isnt the best male role model for their daughters.

You like to project. Defiantly~

I don’t think so man. I spent my day enjoying myself and checked sherdog like once. I never found myself sitting around and thinking “you know what would be great? If I log on sherdog and start a thread where I try to shit on people”.

 

[Blastbeat]

I think if you re-read the actual first post of this thread I wasn't shitting on anyone. It was appreciating REAL MEN for being DADS. Appreciating our fathers and grandfathers and finally our children.

Your triggers are yours alone.

Happy Father's Day to all. Make sure your children know you appreciate them.



I so feel this. Parents job is to help kids be the best themselves. Figure out where the kids skills/interests are and facilitate the devolvement. I have seen so many parents try to make sure the kid has the exact hobbies/interest of mom and dad or the drill target type thinking their kids is a robot or something.

Help your kid be themself.

Just don't help them be a retard. That's all I ask.

You know you don’t have to lie and act like a real beta about it. You know you were trying to stir shit up. Reach down in your down in your pants, untuck those old balls and own it.

Had a fantastic day with the kids, setting up the pool for the summer and playing soccer in the yard. Cooked up a nice bbq steak/shrimp/asparagus/potato/sauteed onion dinner on the new rig (couldn't let the wife Christen the new BBQ) for the four of us. New house is fantastic and we are very blessed and fortunate to have the life we have.

- Boxing isnt a acesive sport hewre. It's quite expensive at the island. And boxing equipament is cost too. Those types of dads you describe usually go to tkd or karate. Because they always say they used to fight.

Did you ever watch The kid 1997? The plot if i remember right was like you describes. Great movie, hard to find even trailers

- Do you reconize that Cristiano Ronaldo isnt on the same level as the original Ronaldos?

Happy father's day. Remember, if your dad sucks at golf, or you suck at golf and want to join him - stay away from good courses or book your time after 3pm

Happy Father's day to all the Dads who are so excruciatingly alpha that they make it their entire existence to turn their kids into little glorious chads. Here's to realizing that kids are children of Rome, allowed to mog and conquer and seek glory for themselves, and having the balls to raise kids who honor you without you having to feel as if your "patriarchal" manhood is besmirched by the shame of dishonorable kin.

I dont know man, 15 years of Coaching and almost all my single-parent students have been from single moms. I mean this City is a small test market but it's still WAY more common for a kid who wants to fight to be abandoned by his Father and driven to the gym every day by his Mother, than the reverse. I've even witnessed paternal abandonment in real time more than once.

When my oldest Son wanted to play baseball and box, his Mother did 90% of the work with his baseball stuff because it conflicted with my schedule. In fact he wouldn't have played his 3rd season of baseball at all had it not been for her because she talked him into it after his best season got derailed. She also is taking initiative on getting our middle Son into racing, because she has a college friend who worked for NDOT, who now works at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

But hey you might enjoy this, interview with his favorite baseball Coach who he won his 2nd Championship with:

No. No I do not recognize that, sir.
