   mothers who are always there sacrificing their dreams & any efforts at progress for themselves for the sake of their children (& their grown husband-children). It's amazing how society is soo eager to crucify,demonify, & villafy women & mothers who are giving 200% for their families, and over-praise, over complement these half-steppin' so-n-so's! Happy Fathers Day to all MOMS out there makin' it happen EVERYDAY for their children and don't even have time to respond to all the prejudicial and negative treatment they receive from society. I realize even the POTUS just gave the "daddy" of all slights to mothers this past weekend, but keep-on, keeping on being "heroic" and pursue, or create, any legal avenues available to you unashamedly! and don't be afraid to pat your own selves on the back! I for one am rooting for you!

   happy they don't have to parent their children full-time as the moms do, & still be heralded as heroes for "being there" in between other women & other opportunities. they're still part-time-when-they-feel-like-being-bothered pops; it takes what it takes to be a parent, much more a good parent.it takes DAILY, full-time, 24/7 commitment & sacrifice! U know, like what the mothers R doing! i'm soo sick of the media & society extolling & uplifting these sometimey-when-it's-convenient-4-me males on a pedestal as examples of excellence in fatherhood, esp. to men who aren't famous & don't have the same level of financial resources available to them! the heck they R! The mothers don't either, yet moms happily make their children a priority everyday, regardless of the sacrifice needed. if these send-money-only-low-interacting "dads" continue receiving praise 4 this slackness, they will NEVER stive 2B better.They are FAR from the mark of being good fathers, & they should not be encouraged.
