Why is it that men act like they can do most anything yet fall short of being a real dad?

I agree with the comment above. Some mean are just little” boys” on the inside. They don’t understand that it takes more than impregnating a girl to make them a dad.

I guess that’s how men are made ^_^ stupid, i know. they like to show off a lot which they think is impressing you in some way. then when it comes down to something serious, they’re stuck because they can’t act dumb.

thanks

in thhis case your very much on the nose but is it cause the dads to these guys didnt do their job an teach them the right way?

lol.. exactly right!! That’s what I told my ex-husbands parents when I left. If they did a better job at being parents he would have turned out to be drunk fool… they just spoilt him and then it was my problem to deal with..

If thats the case why are females not tought to stay away from them an look for a real man not a boy toy

In general, I think we all like to feel like we’re good at doing things. Being a parent, however, is a huge responsibility. Some people simply aren’t ready for it, though thinking the opposite. Does that make it okay? No. We’re all only human, though, and we’re all imperfect.

At the end of the day, setting a foot into parenthood is a choice that 2 people make. If people want to have a partner that will be involved in their child’s life, they should wait a while to have children to make sure that their partner is really ready. Perhaps all expecting parents should take parenting classes as well. Just a thought.

It goes back to “I am a man and the king of the castle,” syndrome. “I can do no wrong.” BLA! Their not thinking of their responsibilities as a father, and that is to help their children survive in this world. They think of what they want not the needs and wants of the children. So fall short. They’re not really including them in their life.

I came from a family where my father only gave material things to his children, not fathering. I carved it, but didn’t get it. I saw that happy families were the ones where the children were included in with the parents activities, I wasn’t. I was very unhappy as a teenager, and learned early to exclude my parents. As an adult I made my way to success. It was at that time my father was proud of me. I wasn’t proud of him.

I also, learned early in life that one gets back what they put out. In this case, “what goes out comes back.” And, “do unto others what you would like them to do unto you.” It’s not pretty, but it is the case.

As a parent I always included my children in our activities, hence, I’m still very close to them. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
