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 folks have got to be kidding me.

I applaud this father for stepping up and putting his foot down after extracting it from his kids ass.

I used to be a hellion as a kid until my folks put their foot up my ass and made me "see the light". I am grateful to this day that I have a father who was like this one and a mother who agreed and supported him.

I only need look at the shambles that is the rest of my family to see the consequences of not taking a stand as a parent and showing the little snot nose ungrateful shit who is the PARENT and who is the CHILD. I have cousins in prison because of this attitude.

I only need to look at the shambles that society is becoming because of this delusuion you should be friends with your children and treat them as equals rather than be parents and teach them right, wrong, and the necessity of respect and work ethic. Children are not born with these values and if the parent does not do as this MAN just did and FORCE them into them they will never develop and you will end up with self absorbed little snots that post shit like this one did.

For the record. I never got a cent for my chores. It was expected. As my dad said when I was talking about other friends having allowances, "We pay for everything you have. That is your allowance. This is how you pay your mother and I back. Go do your chores." If I needed money and would ask and if my folks approved of it they would allow me to have some.

Speaking of money. I mowed lawns for spending money and then got a job as soon as I was young enough to have a work permit. But it was not MY money. I still had to get approval from my PARENTS to spend it because I was a CHILD and still didn't have the life experience or full mental development to know my ass from a hole in the ground.

As for controlling children. Damn straight. It is a parents responsibility to control their children until they have developed enough socially and mentally to be able to make decisions of right and wrong. We have all been in a restaurant while Rosemary's children run amok and the parents do nothing or "Children please come sit back down".

OceanSong. I am rather in disbelief you just chucked a friendship over something that is so basically right as to be nearly universal. Just...Damn...

Just wanted to support you Old Wolf. You are in the right on this one. What the hell has happened to society that this is even a debate.
