How would you feel if millions of people watched your childhood tantrums?

    My bud has a kid who is like 13.

    Here’s some stuff, roughly, that he’s posted on Facebook about his son:

    “Oh my god my fucking kid is going to be the death of me”

    “If you think raising a kid is hard try having a kid with learning disabilities”

    “I wish I had a normal son”

    I have told him over and over that his kid is gonna find that shit, and it will ruin any chance of him having a good relationship with him in the future.

    I’ve even posted in some egregious exams outright telling him to delete that shit for his kids sake.

    He doesn’t care. He’s a selfish prick who will talk over you about whatever dumb shit comes to mind because he only cares about himself. He will also guilt you into feeling bad shit like not saying happy birthday to him – he’s over 50.

    Anyways I’m gonna go have some more whiskey.

      With a father like that, those posts will be the least of this kid’s problems.

      This is the kinda shit that makes me wonder why the fuck we don’t create something like a “Parenting License”

      I know it is borderline eugenics and could probably be abused to high fucking hell, but still

        Because it will be immediately abused by the people who provide the licenses and be used as a method of preventing certain groups from procreating. At the end of the day, sex is a natural human behavior, possibly even the main behavior we strive towards when it comes to our collective survival. Putting bureaucracy might sound good at fixing certain issues, but it will ultimately cause way more problems than it could ever hope to solve.

        A better solution would be a mandatory parenting course that if you fail numerous times would require you to have some sort of government influence on the child’s upbringing so that you don’t just spend all the welfare money you get on your dependents on your meth habit.

          The opposite situation is also an issue. The government should not force you to have kids if you don’t want to/ won’t be able to properly care for them.

        He has money, and good taste in beer. He’s fun to drink with, no doubt. Throws a good bottle share.

        I do avoid him quite a bit these days, but when drinking nothing but the best beers in the world was everything I wanted, he was more tolerable.
