"Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing because whatever the Father does the son also does-John 5:19 NIV
"Any man can make a baby with a woman but a father is responsible for the growth and development of his children"-Malcolm X
"My mama raised me and I love her but a woman cant raise a man to be a man"-Tupac Shakur
Mother's Day appears and everyone is overjoyed. Commercials of non stop gifts for moms flood the TV and radio air waves reminding you to spend time with Mom. Social media are flooded and I mean FLOODED with tremendous love for the great woman who birthed us. Profile pics are changed with Moms being Moms, etc. LOVE for the mom is celebrated.
FATHER'S DAY becomes a day of few of these things yet alone a day of bitterness, debate, and who qualifies themselves as a DAD and sadly women are proudly taking on these roles. Some women on social media even consider themselves as DAD because they're doing it "all by themselves"
80% of the time is far from the truth.
I, as a father of a 10 year old son, am very tired. I'm tired of always debating this issue on who or what makes a FATHER on Father's Day. Single Moms feel the need to take on the DAD role because their deadbeat ran off with another woman, wont provide or pay their child support, etc. No one is excusing that childish behavior from these Sperm Donors.
Well this is going to come with love but YOU picked the dude therefore it was YOUR choice to lay down with him, get a child or children and expect to live a picket white fence knowing very well he wasn't about nothing from the start.
There are also situations where some women WANT the DAD role just out of bitterness because their Dad split due to reasons unknown. They're mad that the man moved on with their lives so the Mom do all that she can to prevent the father to spend time with the child. Sometimes there are Dads out here who have NO IDEA they had a child. A woman gets pregnant in a One Night Stand, splits on him forever and 30 something years later he finds out he has a child.
YES GRIMEY WOMEN DO EXIST.
To all the Single Moms dealing with "Sperm Donors", please be aware that you are ONLY MOM. A GREAT MOM. That's it. You are NOT the Father or a Dad. Raise your children with respect and honor, DON'T be bitter by talking about their Dad in a negative way. There are THREE SIDES to every story: Your's, His and the Truth. One day your child will want to know the other side and it will probably be different. Be honest with your children.
It didn't work out with your Dad. We didn't see eye to eye . It happens.
BUT
HE is your Dad, he is the father of your children. SHOW RESPECT and HONOR him. Anger kills and makes you grow older, not wiser.
Ladies if you're not together with the baby Daddy and he IS a great Father, HONOR HIM towards your child. If you continue with the "I can do bad by myself and your father was an ass" yet he pays his child support and takes care of his kid, your child will grow up and turn against you.
Bottom line: no one is perfect. People make mistakes; but there are people who do whats right. The bible says HONOR THY MOTHER AND FATHER. Give us Dad's the honor we deserve. That deadbeat may have been a deadbeat, but he gave you a blessed child.
To the DAD's who feel the only thing they should do is give their son the new Jordans and don't see them for months afterwards, GROW UP. If you plant a seed, help it to grow. Don't be cowards and run out creating another fatherless generation. If you can get down with her, you can provide with her as well.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the MEN doing what they suppose to do with our children. Wives cherish and honor your husband / Father and know that he is grooming kings and queens for generations to come .We are their best role models. WE are their heroes and we are...
THE MEN OF STEEL.
I honor the women who honor the men to be what they're called to be: DAD.
