As the man hastily parked his car in the parking lot on an early spring morning, the sun was not yet peeking out from behind the clouds. The grey-haired father shoved his keys into his pocket and rushed down the hospital corridor, anxious to see his daughter and his infant grandson. Word had come to him that the newest member of his family had joined them sometime in the wee hours of that morning.
The man rapped softly on the door of his daughter’s room and then entered quietly after hearing no reply. In shock, he viewed an empty room—no baby bassinet, no awaiting mother in the bed, the lights completely off. It was at that moment he feared the worst, his thoughts not even nameable.
His daughter, not expecting such an early visitor, was enjoying her first shower since giving birth. She put on a clean gown and opened the door from the bathroom, eager to climb back into bed, when the welcome sight of her father greeted her. The anxiety on his face was palpable, expressing both joy at seeing her and tentative questioning about the baby. She laughed and reassured him that his grandson would be along shortly from the nurse’s station, where they were administering some care while she bathed.

Most commercials never seem to reference dad except as the idiot or bad guy what few times he shows at all.
Oh and this plays out in Christian families as well.
The devil is attacking every foundation of God’s ordered structure - always has.
When dad lays down the gauntlet (like with finances & behaviors), he’s the evil bad guy.
Mom in charge is “Super Woman”. Nevermind the fact that most women can’t even balance a checkbook & forget to take the anxiety medication all the time.
Having said that...Happy Fathers Day!
The culture is currently attacking men. Males are denied entrance to college (unless they are rich) and are denied jobs. Female-owned businesses get preference in government contracting over male-owned ones. (Illegal and unconstitutional, but allowed by current law.)
For so many reasons, I am glad I have no children.
Men are less likely to fall for the Communist agenda which is why we have a war on men.
Someday, I’m going ask a question at the Quora website, how President elections would’ve turned out had there been no Womens Suffrage.
Maybe on my deathbed?
Well it goes way back. The Honeymooners. The husbands were idiots and the wives were smart.
sickening but we will prevail
No one has to look any further than the black community to see the consequences of not having a father in the home.
My youngest held his wife’s hand all through labor, wiped her face with a cool cloth when needed, walked down the hall holding it to surgery for a C Section, was there when she woke up. He takes as much care of their daughter as her mom. Poopy diapers and all.
Her sisters, dad, and friends who showed up spent their time on their Cell phones and in the coffee shop.
Of the many titles in business and the many names I have been called through my 62 years, Dad was and is and will always be the best. retired, I spend half my day thinking about my son and daughter - going for walks seeing new moms and dads worn out carrying for a newborn I smile at their good fortune starting down that lovely path.
Women who’ve lacked healthy relationships with men cannot distinguish between tyranny and competence; they see all strong men as inherently bad/violent.
But weak is not virtue, and there’s no virtue in being a victim. Nor can weak people protect you from violence or danger. We need to raise strong, good men who can harness that inner monster we all have to fight evil and protect us from danger. - Doctor Jordan Peterson
After every election, they come out with those red/blue maps and show what the election would have looked like if only this or that group had voted. The maps showing only male votes are a sea of red.
My husband is a wonderful man. We have been married for 38 years; and I am grateful for every one of them. God showed me a great kindness, when he put this man in my path.
One very good reason not to look to commercials for hints about human relationships.
Congratulations on your 38 year together! A thankful heart as you exhibit is a key ingredient to longevity in marriage.
