You clearly don't have children yourself. A lot depends on the ages of the kids. When they are five then OK they need you to act like a parent. When they're twenty-five not so much.
Well my children definitely do not call me "bro" as that is a dreadful form of words local only to the less classy parts of America and not to any other areas of the English-speaking civilised world.
When my daughter was growing up, and guys would want to date her or hang out with her. There was one rule. And I was very clear about it
If you touch my daughter, or you hurt my daughter, I will bury you in the desert. We live in Arizona so that would be easy to do. For some reason they really took me seriously because my daughter was never messed with ever.
Everybody in the family knows the rule, everybody who was tried to date or knew what the rule was. Never had one problem.
Exactly! She used to get so mad at me, and would be embarrassed, but I didn’t care. It is what it is. And I’m her mother not her father. Every single dude that came through our house was afraid of me!
My dad was the same way. He'd be conveniently cleaning a rifle every time I was picked up on the weekends. Only one passed the sniff test. I married him 25 years later. Funny how on point dad can be.
I would bet some old time library books on child psychology are still around, explaining that children need guidance and boundaries in order to be "well adjusted". And need someone who cares enough to stay home and raise that child.
So many parents have had their "Spidey senses" dulled. Or they're too busy drinking, doing drugs, and playing video games to care about the kids.
I lold pretty hard at your comment. Jesus that was unexpected 😂

A #1 best father of the year! Well done. Well done!
They hunt that type of parent. They are labeled domestic terrorist.
Man has achieved the technology to make man extinct. And some are doing it.
