Meme: Awesome Dad

[theoldwolf]

You may or may not have caught this latest viral video, showing a dad getting all up in his daughter's face after she talked smack about her parents on Facebook, and thought they wouldn't know about it:

It didn't work.

In honor of the Most Awesome Tommy Jordan, I've created the "Awesome Dad" meme.







Here's the template: Go wild.



You the man, Tommy.

you're right - friends may share differing viewpoints and remain friends, I don't expect that all of my friends will view everything I do the same way. I expect it, I support it, and I celebrate it. But friendships must have their basis in some point of commonality some unspoken agreed upon common core moral ethical centre.

HOWEVER, there do come times, when a person's viewpoint is so far outside of our own, as to exclude friendship. As I said to my ex husband during our divorce proceedings - it's not that I hate you, or that I can't let go of the pain of certain actions, it's just that that behavior changed forever my view of you and my feelings for you.

For me ... abuse is one of those issues. For me this is abuse, that you go beyond condoning it, to celebrating it, making light and making fun of it.... changes forever my viewpoint of our relationship. This one is too far outside my viewpoint of acceptable to condone it by calling it friendship. I'm sorry if that seems extreme or petty or mean spirited of me - to use an oft ill used phrase "this hurts me more than it'll hurt you".

I respect that your viewpoint is different than mine, and you are fully entitled and empowered to hold it, but I cannot subject myself to it - even in quiet acquiescence.

Go well.

Vicki, no man can tell another what to do. But every moment is a choice, and every choice has prices and benefits.

Based my response to a single incident, about which we have differing opinions, you have chosen to believe that I condone abuse. That's quite a stretch, and couldn't be farther from the truth. You are choosing to alter the status of a relationship that for years has been supportive and beneficial. In exchange, you get to keep being right. I hope that the price you are paying is worth the benefit.

I have always wished you joy and success, and continue to do so.
