Dad Really!!!

Dad Really May Not Be A Techie

daddy123 — Wed, 16 May 2012 08:01:38 +0000

I work in the space and think I have a decent grasp of tech, but know many in my age range who are not. The comments below cross the range and made me smile and there is even one from someone who has been Chromed – see if you see which one.

Dad Really Thinks He Knows And Sometimes He Does

daddy123 — Mon, 07 May 2012 11:06:03 +0000

As dads we think we know what our kids are up to – we were kids once we think and have lived through it and are smarter than our kids. Sometimes that is true – other times left field does not come close to describing where our kids are coming from. This set of tweets shows a good cross section of both.

While most dads are not stalking their kids, the stuff they post is generally a good reflection of their behavior which parents can read. Dad must have contributed to the attitude and approach to life. Sharing a beer seems appropriate.
What I am wondering is how many semesters it took dad to get his degree, or if he even has one. His daughter looks like she is on the 6 year plan.

The grounding and no makeup route is a little late dad. There is no way you can put this one back in the bottle.

This dad has the right idea. You may be old enough to drink but that is only the start of a different kind of worry for your dad. When you were little it was easier – now the fear of having to become Liam Neeson in Taken is what we live with.
The lucky dads are the ones who get through. We are not looking to be killjoys, but we have been through the mill and want to help our kids avoid some of the pitfalls.

This one I love – we get a chance to sit back and watch our kids face the same problems. It is the sweetest revenge – I can’t wait to have grandkids so can give them all sorts of ideas!

Dad Really Conversations

Daddy’s little girls exist, really every dad has experienced those moments when we have caved. This is a conversation we can expect – the next one comes from left field. But is presented in such a humorous way.

A crude but effective joke that was being told long before the web existed. But seems to hit Twitter fairly regularly.

The MTV show 16 and Pregnant is a scary one – parents watch it as frightening, while many teens find it funny and not a cautionary tale.

Hey even dads will take the cheap joke – we can be silly too.And if you leave the easy shots open we will take them – it is one of the benefits of having kids… we pay the bills we get to take joke shots.

Dad Really Does Not Mean To Be Creepy

daddy123 — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:03:20 +0000

There is a thin line between giving a compliment and being creepy. This tweeter must have felt a vibe – because frankly she is an attractive girl and it is not surprising she gets compliments. I remember my grandfather had pet names for all of my sister’s girlfriends and I know he did so innocently.Have to wonder how many of these comments she gets given the pic and the profile words – “Fre$haa than a pillow wit a mint on it ;)” – Bonkers19 must be a player. Guess she did not get the message about things being forever on the web. It is profiles like this that make parents scared about social media.

See dads love their pet names for their daughters – mine has banned me from using her’s in front of anyone. But she loved it when she was 6. You can tell this daughter is on the fence about dad’s compliment.

Some dads just don’t know how to talk to their daughters. Suggest Hooters as a job place and you are just pointing them to the pole – see the post below. It is our job to nurture them and be their support. Step out and away from the trailer and allow your daughter to have more opportunity.
See to me both of these tweets have a far more creepy aspect to them.

These two last ones have a completely different creepiness to them. Some conversations should not be made public and by that I mean not just Twitter – not in front of the kids!

Dad Really Knows How To Piss Kids Off

daddy123 — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:39:48 +0000

Okay dads can be lazy, but I have to feel for this kid. Could they be of his other family and just had wrong wallet in his pocket? Guess some of the following reactions may be warranted but they seem a little intense.
Tell us how you really feel! This one does not give a clue why or what dad did, but you have to figure it was something earth shattering – or maybe he just forgot – we do occasionally and not for any intentional reason.
The old school method of dealing with swearing seems appropriate for some tweeters. Really kids let me know in the comments why such heated hate. Guess some use Twitter as their psychiatrist’s couch.
Some can’t seem to get it all out with one tweet and let them fly off those angry fingers. With tweets like this it is understandable why most kids don’t have their parents in their social network.
Would love to have some way to have all these types of tweets sent to them in 20 years when they have kids. Might wake them up a little to why their own kids are shooting at them!
So what are the odds this dad has read some of his son’s tweets? Really dad – great way to have your kid trust you and feel save around you.
It seems that angry tweets should be avoided – they are fast become the new drunk dialing – or at least the kids version of it.

Dad Really Are You The Father?

daddy123 — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:34:39 +0000

Guess mom is a MILF. Not really what most kids would want to hear someone say – but maybe it was meant as a compliment. Yeah right – this is a comment that could lead to injuries. If you tweet it harm may come.

Guess this kid would not mind the comment. Hey maybe dad is not really your dad, though this tweet shows a little of your dad in you.

Don’t see kids using twit often, so hats off to having a solid vocabulary. Am thinking the twit may have had some input on that. And it is a better tweet than the usual bitching about dads on Twitter.

LOL – another one you don’t hear so much. Have to give it to this kid, maybe she has learned something she can’t wait to share with her dad. Isn’t that a better idea than the other possibilities. As a dad this tweet would have me worried, but happy I have that rapport with my daughter that I am the person she would come to.
Girls don’t always marry guys like their dads – personally I would love to see my daughter marry someone really rich.

Funny how many of these types of tweets there are. I understand the difficulty a child would experience with this – but most parents just want their kids to be happy. Hey you have shared it on Twitter, take the next step you may be surprised.

Dad Really Has Food Issues

daddy123 — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:05:26 +0000

I am not strict about the fast food ban, especially in moderation, but family rules are family rules. Being able to cook something decent as an alternative.

Sometimes McDs stands for McDad’s – the place to go when dad burns dinner. Hopefully they bring some back for you too.

Fast food seems a lot safer than goat’s blood. So dad when you need that ride to Taco Bell you could always threaten the goat blood rice pops alternative as breakfast. Pity Chipolte is not open that late, my daughter would make the run every time.
The goat thing is out there – no offense to what ever culture has this as a meal. Though it must cut down on having your kids bring the friends over for dinner.

Giving people tips on how to kill your kids is a little weird – have to side with Michelle here and suggest she checks how much life insurance dad is carrying on her. These economic times are tough and you can always have another kid…

Guess you could just keep over feeding the kids till they explode. A tip to the kids here – just don’t eat it all and watch your parents explode. Though health food is generally more expensive so maybe that is why the high spend.

Hey dad get the kids to read the alternatives above – they could be getting burnt offerings or goat blood. And when did soup and sandwich become unpopular?

Funny how people get worked up when left off a food run. Both kids and dads should always ask – the family that eats together….

I don’t think the dad’s reaction is justified, but then again there is usually a lot more behind such reactions. Make it a habit to always ask, most times you won’t need to get more, but both sides will be happier they were asked.

Dad Really Doesn’t Want To See These Tweets

daddy123 — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:21:45 +0000

Apart from the endless tweets bitching about how much their dads can make them mad or ruin their day, which can hurt, there are some that dads would REALLY not want to see their kids posting. This first one would make any dad cringe – granted the dad in question is really not in a position to see it, but posting it is sure to have all the poster’s friends looking at the dad differently in the future.
And this one hurts too – either the kids have to deal with their dad being hammered all too often or sooner or later they will be making the top post. While I am not a teetotaler, you need to consider the kids.
I love this one – but would be mortified if one of mine were to post it. You have put in the legwork, your kids know what manners are – an impressive thing in this day and age – and then you undermine it all but not following it yourself. This is one that cannot be covered by do what I say or not what I do – that never works anyway. Manners don’t cost anything – use them too, aged has nothing to do with it.
When I saw this I did a double take. You have got to be kidding me – unless your intention was to have a dominatrix in training, there is something wrong here. Grounded would not be the only solution to this little one. The chores added would flip the tables leaving this one wondering if scared straight was an easier option.
This one is nearly as bad – true we have a responsibility to get our children to various things but a taxi we are not. Dad needs to go out and buy a meter and put that up – give your daughter a weekly budget and once over that start taking it out of her pocketmoney.
Using you daughter as a taxi to pick up hookers – what more can you say – REALLY DAD REALLY. This one is wrong on so many levels, apart from the legality – how many of the relatives follow her? Guess dad will not be attending any family events any time soon.
Guess this one was after the visit to the brothel… I don’t know which is worse, the tweet itself or having the conversation at IHOP. Not exactly public breakfast conversation. One added note for the son, you may find the girls less attracted to you after that post.
Thought this one was a good way to end. Kids suing their parents may have grounds occasionally – one above comes to mind. Seeing a tweet that my child was going to take me to court is something I don’t want to see.

Dads Really Would Like To Avoid Teen Pregnancy, Working The Pole

daddy123 — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 11:03:32 +0000

We really just want daughters who are happy. Hey it’s your body, whatever you are happy with we can deal with. But we do have moments where what you are wearing takes us a little aback… we just are trying to keep you from the pole and when you walk out of the house looking like that’s where you’re going we get a little worried.

Get the job before you go native. Otherwise you are getting the job because they want the thong – dad’s sometimes really know best.

The smile should be enough. Leave the rest out of the imaginations and you never know they may realize you are the right fit for the job. Okay we worry… but we wouldn’t be dad’s otherwise.

We want to protect those close to us..

If you think the guy code covers it you obviously are not a dad. We may avoid being the messenger to a mate (real ones would get a heads up) but our direct family always gets the direct answer.

Guys like Anthony will come and go – the right partner does not cheat – you will learn that and we will be there and be very happy when you do.

Guess dad raised Anthony to be a player… not really helping the son’s chances on holding on to the girl. Hate the game – laugh at the player.

There are far more pressing concerns – get the education and enjoy your lives. But hey someone has to take those jobs. Young unwed pregnant daughters scare fathers. We see Teen Moms as a cautionary tale, not some humous reality show.

Dad Really Wants The Best

daddy123 — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 08:37:21 +0000

This dad I like – smart move on the subliminal suggestion. We want the best for our kids – that 20 year commitment goes fast enough and you have benefits and a pension and are only in your early 40s. You can go back to college, get a government backed housing loan and much more.

We want to bash ours too… and have wanted to for a much longer time!!!

The little joys of embarrassing your kids is a major benefit of being a parent – but most of the time we lose the thread and come up lame… we get over it quicker.

If you are a divorced dad you more than likely have drunk dialed your kids… my daughter has had a few – but it usually happens because she is last previous conversation sober.

Lol, this one just seems such a lame tweet – needs some beer perhaps. But bored drinkers usually need text support.

When nature calls, it doesn’t mind if it gets used to answer the call. Have never done this but think the daughter is enough of a naturist.

Dads really love their yards – find a corner but try not to let me see – if I do you will do pool time. Come on its is just disrespectful – we have bathrooms in the house.

But we will gladly buy burgers if the dog is not crapping in our yards. Hey if a dog can show more respect than one of the kids’ friends – not saying much for the pool-drench fool urinating in the yard.

This dad really needs some help if he is going to fall for this one. Though if I was played like this the iguana would be on the grill and eaten at the first bbq where the piercing made its debut.

Becoming a cop is like joining the military – great pension and benefits – but it also offers the positive of starting on the right side of the law. You can do a lot worse, though that depends on the city force you join – some are more dangerous than others.
