lol... thanks, Degbeme. He got thoroughly Father Day'ed too! Hope yours was good too!

It is hard to be a good dad. You want to be strong but also caring. All we can do is think back to what our fathers did and if it worked or not. It can be difficult not to loose your cool with kids sometimes, especially teens that think they know everything or expect everything on a silver platter. All we can do is try our best and give our kids unconditional love.

I am sure your dad appericates the thought ash.

@melbeacher... I don't need everything on a silver platter. Gold is fine.
And as for knowing everything? Yesterday on the radio, I heard a Mark Twain quote.
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
:D

Sorry...but I'm removing Loretta's comments. This was supposed to be a positive post and I'm sorry. But 5 generations? Don't know where to find any good men? I don't think it's the men that are the problem.

my dad always loved eating on these special occasions and he would have loved it here yesterday. It was a great day!

I love my dad and miss him terribly. I'm thankful for the years we had together but wish there were more.

Sorry I missed this one yesterday. I was being Fathered day`d. :) I hope your dad had a wonderful day too.

@Loretta78, I am sorry if you have been hurt, but most husbands are good men

The grill was fired up, and much food was consumed @sbelle

Father day'd, I like that, we definitely did that to my husband

@loretta that will truly depend on your attitude and your beliefs, if you're going to the bar to find a husband you are going to find bar type people if you are going to a good church to find a husband who are more likely to find a good person. These are examples, but there are many places and people out there

Or a nice craft brew...

@ekwalizur.... thanks so much for taking my post about my dad and making a perverted joke. I can't wait to see how disgusting you can be on Mother's Day.

@loretta I also believe that the spirit of this post is a joyous one, and your post seem to be purposely negative

My dad passed away in 1995 and never liked Fathers Day because he did not like being made a fuss over

Thanks Drkelly....as your know it can be difficult......that is where Chardonnay helps.

It has been vodka and pineapple for me lately.....I am in FL.

yes happy fathers day !
but your dad is the second best !

@Drkelly... :) Just bad timing! I just saw your thumbs up! :) We're good!

Mothers, please also do not forget to honor your husbands

@jon2403 sorry for your loss

thanks Drkelly

I am glad you had a good relationship with your father, so many don't. I wrote a tribute to mine, he was a good man.

That must have been some negativity in Loretta's comments, that they were more delete-worthy than some epic prevertions

Well I'm glad I'm not him. With those thoughts I'm having? I'd have to shoot myself (damn!)

Nobody has to delete my post, I will do it myself!
So happiness for everyone!

Drkelly...you thought my post was purposely negative? How so?

I forgot to adress her also, corrected it

Ash, congrats on your dads Fathers Day!

I was speaking to loretta, sorry

I luv my dad but hes super strickt
