hello, goons. today we are here to talk about your dad. regardless of what you call him, your father had a large influence on you growing up. whether you played the throwing ball with him or peeped at his dad donger in the shower, your father influenced your lives in ways you cannot possibly imagine. some dads prefer to beat their kids with fists or belts while other dads weren't even in the picture at all.

this is a safe space for the following topics:
- dad questions
- dad facts
- alternate names for dads (ex. fathers, papas, pappies, and peppers)
- dad pics
- dad stories
- dad memories
- single dads
- aspiring dads
- married dads
- dads (other)

the following topics will not be tolerated:
- dad jokes
- any information on the man who your mother married that claims to be your father, genuine dads only please
- hidden dads (dads hiding behind various furniture in an attempt to spook me when i turn the corner)
:siren:trolling will not be tolerated in this thread:siren:

would someone like to start this dad discussion with a certain dad memory or a dad-related question?

I'm a dad. Sometimes I forget that my kids view me as this mythological figure and I can tell that they are hurt by my mindlessness in those moments. I hope someday they're older and realize their dad is just some dude trying his best. Anyway, go easy on your dad because being one is messed up and you're constantly feeling intense joy and heartbreak all day everyday.

My dad almost died, and then he didn't. He will likely die at some point nonetheless I would think.

my dad is super cool and after spending years and years working he sold the house I grew up in in San Jose for like retarded money even though it was a small house on the east side and bought some really nice property up in Redding which sucks cause like I'm going to visit my parents for the 4th and now I have to drive like 10 hours instead of 4.5 to see them but whatever thats the way she goes

But without eyesight lingers a different living and looks

My dad was an awful and angery all the time and yelled and broke stuff a lot. He's mostly chill now which gives him a lot of time to wonder why all of his children hate him and want nothing to do with him.

I love my dad, he's one of the kindest people I know and he sacrificed a lot for his family when I was growing up. I feel very lucky to have a dad who is as good to me as he is for how young he was when I was born, because I know the chances of that are pretty slim these days.

one time i subbed another letter carrier's route and delivered my dad's mail. it was a nice surprise for him. i had my lunch break at his house that day.

edit: he made me a sandwich for lunch.

golfing is a pro dad move, my dad hasnt golfed in probably 15 years but he said if I bring my clubs we could go golfing this weekend since he knows I like to golf now (dad in training cause probably going to be one in next few years)
