Happy Father’s Day to myself, for figuring out how to ride a bike. For playing catch with neighbors. For YouTubing how to change a flat tire. For fixing the kitchen sink two weeks ago. For picking myself up over and over again. You did a damn good job.

You are trying to equate that “learning how to pick yourself up” is just the role of a father that you can fulfill yourself I’m disagreeing, saying: that’s not what it means to be father It’s like me saying “Happy mother’s day to me, because I cleaned after myself, became a good cook and have care for others. I did a good job! Go me!” You aren’t implying that you don’t have a father at all. You make it seem like you take credit for your own accomplishments and we don’t know if you are man too

I understand that I don’t know what it means to be a father. I never will. He wasn’t there. What I’m trying to say above is that his absence forced me to figure things out on my own. I did those things, because he didn’t. I was more of a father to myself than he ever was, therefore I take credit for those accomplishments. Also, I posted this in girl talk… because I’m a girl.

Good for you, I’m sure it was difficult. But to reduce the meaning of what fatherhood and motherhood means to just be applied to just anyone kind of annoys me. You are justifying trying to label your accomplishments and make it about you when its not. We have fathers who have struggled, who have been through hardships and you want to claim the title of father for you to feel good. I don’t like that

But it can be applied to anyone. Adoptive parents didn’t give birth to the kid, but they are still mothers and fathers. Same goes for found family, same sex relationship parents, and the many other varieties of family there are.

Adoptive parents are fathers and mothers who stepped up when nobody didn’t they brought meaning to the words of father and mother. But you want to make it still about you!

Yep. They brought meaning to those words by raising those children. Teaching them life skills, being there for them. Loving them. I'm willing to claim the title of being MY OWN best father, because no one else earned that right. No one else even tried. I did that, and I did that on my own.

This was a short yikyak post meant to empower others who had to learn that independence as well. It’s okay if you don’t understand what that is like or how that effects someone, but please don’t talk down to me or others. That’s not what today is for either.
