Nothing, and I mean nothing else tells me that my bf shouldn’t be a father is how his behavior is when he’s doing something. Today is tile and he’s freaked out throwing a mantrum no less than 4 times. He was never put in the position to parent my kid.

And the relationship of dads to their kids. It really did a number. Now a lot of Gen X moms healed and said no way of their kids dads were like that and now women are divorcing them because they won’t go to therapy. It’s all tied together.
In the Sticks (@inthesticks262.bsky.social) reply parent
Part was that there were audio tapes that they listened to which basically said that unruly kids can ruin a marriage and that establishing dominance and fear was how to parent. Fathers were cast in a bully role and to never show weakness. It fucked a whole generation (X) of kids childhoods up

And learning how to communicate. That part was ok. Then it got real patriarchal when it came to decisions and kids discipline. My parents weren’t catholic but they had friends that tried it. They would have potlucks and stuff. My parents made some great friends and they were good people. The bad

In the late 79’s and early 80’s ( it incidentally coincided with women going hard at the workforce) the churches were trying to stem the tide of divorce. If you were in trouble your pastor would suggest going to these seminars called “Marriage Encounter”. It was basically sitting around and talking

It’s simple. He hates his wife, children and animals. If you don’t have the capacity to love any of those 3 things (all of those are choices one makes, you can’t pick your family) you are probably a pretty awful person. If you have no capacity to love beyond your blood family, you are flawed

Because in the early 80’s the left Catholics had Marriage Encounter. At that seminar is where my parents copy came from.

I think it also created a generation of women who said “enough”. Did they really want to marry men like their fathers? Nope, they saw what mom went through and said “not me”. Now these men who were damaged by their fathers wonder why women won’t date them.
In the Sticks (@inthesticks262.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah yes. Dare to Discipline was given to my parents at a marriage retreat. It surely wasn’t the fact that my dad never wanted to parent and my mom adored her kids is why it was the kids fault their marriage was failing. It didn’t matter that my dad loved the bar and his work.
