#467057, "Hilarious post?"


Was I dreaming last night about the hilarious post from a dad, about watching the kids on Saturday and going crazy?

Today the post is not here. Or if so, where is it?!?!?

It's over on the "other website". Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I didn't get to see it last night, so it definitely provided a great laugh to start the day.

Pray tell--what is the "other website".

Honestly I didn't find it that funny and I really wanted to post and say "If you can't be a good father in the first 5 years then try being a good husband instead" but I didn't.

I'm sure he thought he was being amusing--I guess as a mother that does this 24/7 whether I want to or not it just isn't amusing.

Thanks Susan.

And I was recently told from some TC regulars to lighten up on the forum and go back to having more of a sense of humor.... then this guy's post got pulled for doing just that.

You weren't dreaming. You were having a nightmare. Dropping the F bomb on a baby because you have to change a diaper isn't really that funny. Hardee har har.

I just read the post and didn't find it all THAT amusing, probably because I do EVERYTHING around my house and have for the last 5+ years. It's not a matter of having a penis or not like the OP thinks or "jokes." Either you have the character to suck it up and fulfill your responsibilities or you don't.

On a side note, I have a uterus and just built myself a picket fence completely from scratch and plan on mowing the lawn this afternoon - all manly duties... then again, maybe I'd be safer sticking to womanly duties like wiping butts.

Maybe this stuff would be better suited for a blog. (I hear that blogs have been approved for people with either set of genitals.)

A lot of people did not find it amusing and of course they told him why they did not find it amusing. There is a lot of pity for his wife here today...

OK, you're not going to like this, but this is probably why we don't see more men posting on this board. You all have valid points, and I feel some of your frustration. I would like to point out that there is another post on the board today by a mom who appears just as frustrated, and she has received overwhelming support, as she should. We all have things we can and cannot handle. I hate puke. Especially dog puke - slimy, can't pick it up with paper towels, smearing all over instead, dog puke. I gag the whole time I clean it up. I have to stop and walk away, before I add to the mess. My point is, I can understand the aversion to poop. I have a gf, who when pregnant, would throw up at the scent of cooking food. She had a horrible time. Let's try to give this guy a break. He came here for a little support, and maybe to give us a laugh. Many of us have experienced the poop party - I got to experience it with a broken washer. Had to take all that stinky laundry to the public laundromat. NICE! I wanted to die, but I made it through. We all do. But, we'll do it better if we support each other.

I didn't read anywhere that he was asking for support. The post was to let us know that if our husbands weren't doing their part, they would when the kids turn five.

Uhm, okay? Sure. We'll hand them over when they get FUN.

The other mother was looking for solutions to change an unwanted response and behavior. Therefore, she got support.

I thought it was hilarious and not meant to be taken all that seriously. A nice break - although the language was a bit strong!

I didn't find it that offensive. He was just blowing off steam with a quirky sense of humor. He wasn't saying that he wasn't going to help his wife or demand that she does everything until they are 5, he just poked fun at what he didn't like and said he may not be very good at the duties or enjoy them until they are 5. I cringed a bit at the language myself and also thanked my husband last night.

There are many posts where we just vent and that's how I took it. I'd like to get more of the dad perspective on this board.

I would certainly be much more upset if he came on saying he didn't think it was his duty to do these things or if he said he wasn't going to. There are lots of dads out there who don't. He just poked fun at it and joked that he tries to make himself scarce during poop time.

I got a combination cringe and chuckle out of the post and ended up being appreciative of my situation.

Nope, you were not dreaming but I had no clue it was pulled.

I honestly thought it was funny. He does his best and he knew what his shortcoming were and dealt with it.

When I was a moderator of a forum for parents of multiples on the old ParentsPlace forum, I got a nasty email from a mom that said basically that something must be wrong with me if I was hanging out on a forum populated by mostly women. Did not seem to make any difference that I worked halftime and was a SAHD.

Does not seem to make any difference to my wife either, who is divorcing me -- appearently because after spending the last 13 years being there 100% for the boys from day one and putting my career on hold, the money I earn (enough for the mortgage, utilities and covers all the very good heath plan we have) is not enough for her.

I guess she should not have married a bloody lazy artist/wilderness ranger if she expected to be rolling in dough...LOL!

So, be kind to us guys -- we do our best!

And the first 5 years are not fun?! They were a blast! Lots of work, yes. Lots of diapers, yes. But it does not get anymore "fun" or any "easier" after five years -- just different! I would not give up those first five years for anything! Nor these last 8 years!

Dang, now I am crying. Love your kids, love your spouse. It all passes all too fast.

Well said, Vaughn. I've thought about you often over the past couple months and hope that things are better (as best as possible under such circumstances).

Like you, I wouldn't trade these moments with our little ones at this age for anything, regardless of how much work it is.

I'm certain that your boys will always remember and appreciate a life devoted to them from their dad, and that's worth more than all the 'dough' in the world.

I too found it quite funny. I often joke with my husband that he has those "man hands" which frankly are not very handy on the delicate baby stuff like diaper changes - but he did do it - and complained about it...just like this dad does.

I never heard him say that his wife could not go shopping with Sally, but rather than he stressed over it for days- just like any of us would if we had to perform a job we did not do every day.

I would bet money that you will not see his wife post that her husband does not help or that she never has time for herself, etc why??? because he does help the best he can - and can also laugh at himself about it. I bet his kids can't wait to go fishing with dad - once all the horsie rides, funny faces and snacks that mommy will not allow are over. hmmmm....this guy sounds like a pretty good dad to me....

I agree. The original poster was joking around and laughing at what he believes are his shortcomings as a father. IMO at least he's aware of his own faults instead of being completely oblivious to them. --Gloria

The post was pulled because of the number of threads that quickly morphed into vulgarity and profane comments. These have no place on the Triplet Connection form.

I believe I used the words "uterus" "vagina" and "balls". I used the word damn too. May have over done it with damn. But the other three? When are those words vulgar? He posted his opinion. I posted mine. I posted my opinion based on the last 7 years of my life. Because I didn't find humor in anything I experienced then my post gets pulled? Really?

I'm thinking my TC does may soon be over.

Maybe his kids don't respond to him because he swears at his babies. If I had ever caught my ex-husband swearing at our babies, it would have been the last time he ever changed their diaper. And maybe that's his whole aim. Pretend you're completely incompetent so your wife has to do everything for you. Shameful.

And let me tell you: men who CAN'T take care of their babies often end up being men who WON'T take care of their older children.

The OP should be a aware that at age 5, the butts still need to be wiped....nothing better than trying to make dinner and hearing, "Mooommmmmyyyy, I'm dooooonnnneeeee" coming from the bathroom.
