What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

Meaning in what he will ever put up, as far as numbers, in the NBA.
I could get a poor man's Kevin Love.. barely.

And I don't even love Love at all.

I hate Love. Hence my, "No thanks." And yes, I should've stated that Love put/puts up better numbers (elite rebounding, he's more immovable down low) but my basic point was their skill sets are similar. No?
 
Mine's throwing a tantrum upstairs with my wife.

Never happens with me. Serious. Really doesn't.

I get that. I think society generally has things wrong.
Seems, to me, that dads have the more calming touch, soothing voice, and... more patience.
Whereas I see most moms getting frazzled more easily and reacting in a manner more likely to exacerbate the situation.

And I'm not talking just my own experience.. I see it all the time.
And it's not like I spend ANY less time with them than mom does.. it's just a dads way, imo.

I'd add that I am more fun and direct and think quicker and am therefore able to diffuse situations before they happen.

Even before having my first, I also thought about how unfairly women get the credit for raising a child and Father's Day is sort of an afterthought. Let me tell you something and this isn't news. The (far imo) majority of dregs in society are those whose dad took off and were raised fatherless. A male role model goes a loooooooong way.

Yes... and nothing either of us has said in any way undermines, diminishes, or downplays a mom's role.
Just a couple dads on the Internet giving each other props for being good dads.

Yep. It's why a person, even soldiers as they're dying in war, always ask for their mama. A mom's unconditional, devoted love for their child can not be matched.

Because I have almost all boys, I asked my wife to allow me to do most of the disciplining as they got older. I noticed they resented her when she laid the law and would at time hold a grudge. Not when I did it. So I always talk their mom up to them, demand respect to be shown, and she's always right (in front of them - but not really).

I don't allow them to refer to their mom as "she" or "her."

I've noticed that once I made that change, the house became very much more loving and friendly and helpful toward one another.

All the kids know I've got their backs no matter what. But they cross mama and they get smacked.
