Obviously, this kid is crying because instead of having a man for his father, he gets Tinkerbell. If this guy is a tax cheat, he's a cinch for a Obama Cabinet appointment.
Second Best Line: “...I couldn’t mask my sadness when my work colleagues asked excitedly about fatherhood. “It’s good … well, it’s OK,” I said. “Actually, it’s very, very hard.” By then, I was close to tears...”
Classic!
Congratulations - you just won Comment Of The Week!
It’s taking far too long for people to grow up.
I feel sorry for his kid.
No offense if I say that he sounds worse than the traditional Jewish mother.
Good grief, if I didn’t hang out here, I would not know there are real men in existence.
Well, that’s not entirely true. I know some great fathers and very good men. This is not one of them.
The phrase ‘selfish metrosexual d**chebag’ doesn’t quite do him justice.
I truly hope this nonsense is just more breathless media hysterics, and not indicative of what’s happened to men (or in his case, an overgrown boy) in this country.
This guy says he was 31 years old at the time,and by saying this, it shows he was not yet a man!
A professional liberal can't deal with life. Why an I not surprised.
"(We had twin girls after my son.)"
Brilliant!
*It was only years later, after I spoke to a psychotherapist, that I learned I was experiencing male postpartum depression...*
So this schmuck gives a complete stranger a few thousand bucks and receives absolution instead of being slapped and called a pussy? The West is finished.
There's nothing as noisily histrionic as a liberal who slams up against unavoidable personal responsibility. Victimhood positively erupts out of their very bone marrow, even if they have to blame their wives and infants to justify their squalling. This is the very essence of liberalism, this trans-dimensional, galaxy-sized, black hole of pure selfishness. And it also explains the real reason this guy was upset - his new baby stole all Mommy's attention away from him. But that's not enough - then he has the shamelessness to write an article admitting his own stunning level of immaturity! Liberals are stupifyingly pathetic.
It sounds like he never really thought about what becoming a parent means. You do have to give up things, that is part of the deal. I don’t have kids but I do have a sister that is 12.5 years younger than I am so know what having babies around is all about, it sounds like he’d never been around a baby before his son?
What a self-absorbed POS. That poor kid is starting out in life with one strike against him.
What a pathetic, whiny, selfish. Loser.
What a putz. The world is doomed...doomed I tell you!
Wow! What a shock! /s
Did you see what this loser does for work? He's a producer for PBS. These things just write themselves ;-)
a scene from the Godfather comes to mind.
waaaa waaaaa! Whats da matter wit u! Be a man! boo hoo, god father god father, (SLAP) Tom Hagen snickers in corner
Somebody needs to give that boy a godfather talking to.
This is the result of us expecting nothing from the youth today. Everyone says, oh, your sooooo young, you don’t know what your doing. Bull hockey! I have always told my kids, age is NOT an excuse!! God selected the Virgin Mary at 15 to bear the Son of God, so you can MAN UP! My 21 year old is getting married this Jan, my 17 year old is bound for seminary next Sept. Start expecting things of your kids, they will NOT let you down. They will always give you what you expect of them, and that sniveling snot bag is proof that when you expect NOTHING thats what you get.
Oh yeah, and try keeping the boys away from body lotion, eyebrow waxing, and manicures. They seem to be women enough already! YEESH!
My ex-husband could have written this, which is the biggest reason he is my ex-husband. He would never even touch the babies unless there was a third party there to see him do it, and as soon as they were gone whatever baby he was holding would get dumped. The hardest part was just keeping them alive.
Not everybody is cut out for parenthood. Of course your normal guy who finds that out too late becomes a workaholic, keeps you away from the kid and gets you money for stuff like nannies and schools on the other side of the country.
