flyangler Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Happy Fathers Day to all dads, grand dads, step dads and surrogate dads. Hope you have a great day! “No nation in history has survived once its borders were destroyed, once its citizenship was rendered no different from mere residence, and once its neighbors with impunity undermined its sovereignty.” - Victor Davis Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyangler Posted June 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Father's Day observation from Dr. Helen Smith, aka Mrs. InstaPundit: Dads are amazing if you give them a chance, even if they say nothing. Dads help kids learn how to pivot the hardships and problems of life and its good times. They nurture in their own way by showing kids how to take risks, how to learn discipline and how to live a more well-adjusted life. From the website, The Art of Manliness: The Grant Study, the longest longitudinal study ever done on the lives of men, found that a man’s father influenced his life in many ways exclusive to his relationship with his mother. Loving fathers imparted to their sons: enhanced capacity to play more enjoyment of vacations greater likelihood of being able to use humor as a healthy coping mechanism better adjustment to, and contentment with, life after retirement less anxiety and fewer physical and mental symptoms under stress in young adulthood So maybe a father isn't as loving as a kid would like but there must be something there in the relationship that is worth salvaging. Maybe if the kid quit thinking about what a "jerk" Dad is and just tried to fine some good there, he or she just might. Our society needs to quit being so hard on Dads and give those that try some support and encouragement. This societal sourness on Dads and men in general is detrimental, not only to the men that it berates, but to their kids who live a lifetime of resentment and at some point, regret. Maybe if instead of calling Dads jerks, their kids reached out and said "How are you?" and spent a few minutes or hours with Dad this Father's Day, it might change things. Maybe if the media would shut the hell up with their misandric messages, Dads would be more involved in their kids' lives. But a positive male message would be blasphemy to the media who love to blame men for the ills of the world, and in turn, get their listeners to do the same. “No nation in history has survived once its borders were destroyed, once its citizenship was rendered no different from mere residence, and once its neighbors with impunity undermined its sovereignty.” - Victor Davis Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
