Father's Day

Father’s Day is a day for full-time fathers. Father’s Day is not for every man to claim. Some men are part-time or deadbeat fathers subsequently when Father’s Day arrives they want to claim the day. One day out of the year does not qualify a man to be a dad. A dad is a year-round adventure. I didn’t enunciate a dad is a job. Those fathers who compose excuses annually for not contributing ought to feel less than a man. Plus, when Father’s Day is approaching and others wish those men that make an appearance occasionally a Happy Father’s Day that’s undeserving to acknowledge the day. I understand Father’s Day isn't recognized as akin to Mother's Day but it’s bitter-sweet because a lot of children are in anguish because their fathers aren’t acquiring accountability. The rationale why it isn't recognized as akin to Mother’s Day generally is because mothers carry the child for nine months and subsequently deliver and nurture the baby that alone is a sufficient reason to love and respect the mother on Mother’s Day.

Additionally, a child doesn't need a part-time father. If a father is unable to be thoroughly effective he ought not to be in a child's life everlasting, other men can become a productive stepfather to the child. There shouldn’t be another man taking the place of the father when he is a willing able individual. When a father is inconsistent in a child's life it constructs a child to be unstable.   Also, the inconsistency doesn’t allow the child to become rooted in morals and values, therefore; the will to not learn in regards to fatherhood.  The child replicates his father's sad behavior. Is that the type of model one set forth for his child? The cycle continues! My theory why there are many irresponsible fathers because of fear the fear of failing especially when their father abandons and fails them. That's my concept and I may be incorrect, however; as a child growing up my dad was an exemplar of what a dad characteristic ought to be. This is why I am qualified and precise regarding the representative of fatherhood.

In fact, I differentiate Father versus dad because there’s a huge difference between them. Year after year there are fewer dads and more fathers. Why is that? The statistics are accurate about there are more fathers incarcerated than in the home. It’s a disgrace for a child or children when the majority and minority of the fathers are incarcerated.  Fathers’ simply don’t have any discredit and don’t take into consideration the humiliation that is connected to their child or children.

 Furthermore, to add salt to the wound the fathers that are at liberty are self-centered, egotistic, and selfish and only think about their own well-being. Some fathers who are incarcerated wish they had the same opportunities or a second chance for a redo to provide quality time to their child or children. I don’t get it! Do you? It’s to the point children are taking to the streets for the guidance that their fathers ought to be teaching them. There are many demised children or children who are ten feet under because of a lack of involvement and child well-being.

On the other hand,  I disagree with the mothers who collect child support from fathers but there are cases where the mother doesn’t have any other options. When fathers aren’t supporting a child financially and consequently not in that child's life actively the mother has the right to make the father accountable. Fathers can only fault themselves for the lack of support. A real man takes care of his responsibility.  The little boy claiming manhood evades their responsibility.

NEWS FLASH:

A responsible dad doesn’t have to be concerned with child support because he knows his child can depend on him for financial support.

A responsible dad A child doesn’t have to be concerned about broken promises.

A responsible dad will not allow his own lack of fatherhood to interfere with him becoming actively involved.

A responsible dad teaches his child to be an overachiever.

 A responsible dad does not make excuses.

 A responsible dad teaches his child the meaning of ethics.

A responsible dad guides his child from birth through adulthood.

A responsible dad has his own residence builds stability and teaches his child the same.

Lastly, this is for those dads who have gone above and beyond to make a difference in their children or children's lives by elucidating the fundamentals of family values and manhood to transition into fatherhood. I want to applaud you for never falling into the statistics because a dad is never-ending. You are appreciated on this day because you're deserving of it. You're truly the epitome of a father. Thank you for ending the cycle of deadbeat dads in your own family history. Some fathers aren't passing the baton of deadbeat dads". 

Peace!
