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
