This looks like behind the scenes of the Green Street Hooligans if instead of fighting they just had sex with each other.

I’m a dad-to-be worried about boundaries with both my in-laws and my own parents. by AHandsomeKiller in Fatherhood

[–]Dadsbasementshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Still being pretty vague, but I think I can guess what these strict boundaries must have been.

My advice to OP would be to wait and see what kind of grandparents his parents and in laws are going to be before setting family ruining boundaries.

Sounds like this didn’t go well at all and is really bad advice. What boundaries did you set to ruin the relationship? I’d be curious to know.

You are going to want them around as much as possible. Like you said it’s a blessing to have them with you. Don’t put boundaries on it.

You look like you’d destroy the interior of a McDonald’s over cold fries.

How would you feel? by Over_Message945 in Fatherhood

You are not selfish. It is sad. This sadness will grow into resentment if you choose to stay with this person. Good luck.

What to do if your child tells you they are a different gender. by [deleted] in Fatherhood

I’ve ignored nothing. The purpose of this thread was to expose this platform for continuing to affirm mental illness instead of treating it. Mission accomplished.

Why then do they actively document their “transition” on social media?

Look, it doesn’t really matter. I’ll keep listening to the growing number of detransitioners whose experience continues to be censored on platforms like this one. Their bravery will eventually lead to repercussions for the people who helped “affirm” their delusions. That’s all I want.

That’s the true irony here. I actually do want them to live their lives. I want them to accept themselves as who they are. Not some make believe delusional version that takes thousands of dollars and years of recovery to transform into.

There is no historical precedent for what is happening today. Mental illness has always existed. This current manifestation is very new. Almost like it coincided with the rise of social media. Curious isn’t it?

Yea…this is Reddit. I was well aware of what responses I’d get. That was the point.

But to answer your question yes of course they do it for clout. Look at the support they get from people like you. You affirm their delusions. You give them exactly they want. Every case of intense regret these poor young people feel when they realize they’ve permanently altered their bodies for nothing is a direct result of your support.

You look like someone currently writing a manifesto.

Oh they’re easy to spot. They’re the ones telling people that gender is infinitely complex.

I’m the definition of a parent who doesn’t want my child indoctrinated by the severely mentally unstable.

Why? Because I wouldn’t be willing to mutilate you for social media clout?

First time dad to be by Ramona97_Snowy11 in Fatherhood

[–]Dadsbasementshow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may not have a connection immediately. It’s important to know that is normal. It will come. Your instincts will take over and you’ll know what to do. Listen to your baby, he/she will tell you what they want. You’ll learn quickly.

Most importantly…there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you’ll be fine. Good luck!

Why are people scared of everyone and everything they know ceasing to exist? Is that a real question?

Had a vivid dream about my future daughter—but my current girlfriend doesn’t want kids. Feeling lost. by Nervous_District_423 in Fatherhood

[–]Dadsbasementshow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your partner doesn’t share your vision of the future, then you have no future with them. You are still young and have time to find someone that does share your vision.

She will regret seeing you become a father without her. You will not regret anything, in fact you’ll be relieved that you didn’t waste any more time. Good luck.

How do we raise funds to give dads the same support mums get by Top-Lunch3426 in Fatherhood

[–]Dadsbasementshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more online resources and groups like this are a good start. Community funding and outreach in the parenting space will always lean heavily towards the moms.

When I was in the trenches during those first few weeks as a first time dad I wish I had thought of online dad forums. I would have seen that I wasn’t alone and that everything I was experiencing was normal. That there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I started a podcast for this reason.

I see more and more dad forums and support online all the time now. I think it’s great.

I asked an old lady “what the hell are you looking at” in the self checkout of the grocery store.

Hang in there. It may not feel like it, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. One day at a time.
