News Flash – Dads Put On Suicide Watch As World Says to Dads “You Suck!”

by nessel on October 1, 2010

Dads Have A Drink

Dads Have a Drink, Actually Better Make it a Double.

(You Do Know How to Drink… right?)

We need to be honest here, it has been a tough week to be a Dad.  Look we are new here, we thought we were going to talk about the great things that Dads Do – but had we known that Dads were so sucky and useless we might not have started this site.

Go home Dads, spend some time with your family – oh wait, I forgot, Dads don’t spend time with family.  I wonder if it is too late for a rebrand to MomDoes.Com, has a nice ring to it…

Let’s Back Up A Little

Maybe you are not as savvy to the shadowy world of Dads, that’s cool, we will give you the quick DadDoes.Com recap of what we discovered this week, about what Dads Do….

Well, There You Have it Dads Suck – But Let’s Dig Deeper

As we dig deeper to discovery the root of our suckyness – we uncover some interesting facts.  Turns out the issue with many Dad blogs is that they are not well written or interesting.  But wait, don’t order yet – there is more!  It also turns out that Dads don’t really like reading Dad Blogs.

So, Dads Suck at Writing Blogs and Reading Blogs!

To more accurately capture the feeling about Dads, we have come up with a bumper sticker -
Dad Blogs Suck
(Dads do like sticking things on cars – we are good at that one)

Wait a Minute, Who Are You?

We know now Dads don’t read blogs – so you must not be a Dad.  You must be a Mom – great, can you pass this message on to your husband – “You Suck!”.

No that can’t be right, plenty of good Mom Blogs for you to read – so why waste your time here.

Oh no, I got it – you’re a kid!  You were Googling “Why Does My Dad Suck So Much” and you landed here.

Okay, forget that thing about drinking – alcohol is evil!  And listen to your Dad, do your home work, don’t hit your brother, put the candy down – oh and give your Dad a big hug, he has had a tough week!

    Sorry Jaclyn, beating someone silly is one of the few things that Dad’s are good it. As you are not a Dad, I really have nothing to fear.

  • http://www.daddoes.com Dan Dad Does

    You could fix a toy and listen to your wife at the same time? You are clearly not a Dad. Me go drink now.

    Funny – I just saw your recap on things right after I sent mine out. Loved yours.

    I think the whole daddy blogging backlash perpetuates a lot of different misconceptions:
    1) That moms blog to connect with other moms, but dad blogging is more “functional”… basically an upgraded version of maintaining the family photo website. Dads may have a unique experience and desire to connect with other dads. Certainly @stefanlanfer’s book http://j.mp/aytBQN would suggest there’s an audience.
    2) But conversely, that dads blog primarily ABOUT being dads. Many don’t. They may be dads, blogging. But the point of their blogging may be about a hobby, about sports, about a craft or even a professional skill. Although fatherhood is part of the context of what I write, I hesitate to call my blog a “dad blog.” It’s about the function of storytelling, in personal, professional and religious setting.

    Frankly, dads blogging may be getting a bad shake because
    a) we may be seen as doing an inferior job of “connecting” with/as dads, when
    b) we may be blogging for entirely different reasons and audiences.

    Kind of like the disconnect that all women writing about the “woman’s experience” must in fact be “feminist writers.”

    Hardly.

    Well, not all dads blogging may be blogging about the dad experience either.

    You have a goldmine with that domain – hold on to it. I am calling it now – 2011 The Year of All Things Sucks

  • http://clarkkentslunchbox.blogspot.com/ R_Mattocks

    I’m down with the commemorative holiday. Nothing would suck more.

    Sometimes I wish I didn’t have this need to do that… This curse… But I must… I’m THAT guy…

    So when are changing your url to: dandaddoessuck.com ? I just purchased tessasdadsucks.com.

  • http://www.daddoes.com Dan Dad Does

    See – I do suck! Thanks – it has been corrected!

  • http://www.daddoes.com Dan Dad Does

    Hey Chris,

    Your points are dead on. We poke fun at all this because it really is a crazy thing to say Dad Blogs suck. Completely agree that are difference between why Moms and Dads may blog. Look our site is Dad Does, we talk about Dad Does Sports, Travel, Good, etc – but we don’t say Dad Does Blogs. Sure there are blogs on many topics and some are written by Dads- but does this make them Dad Blogs?

    Thanks for the insight.

  • http://www.daddoes.com Dan Dad Does

    Hey Chris,

    That is a smart parenting move. When your little girl grows up and wants the car to go pick up drifters, but you – the mean old Dad – will not give it to her, you can win her back by giving her your tessasdadsucks.com domain.

    I think I now need to add Dad Does Run On Sentences to the list of things I do.

  • http://twitter.com/Genuine Jim Turner

    This Dad blog did not suck today.

  • http://www.DadStreet.com Dadstreet

    I thought all Dad Blogs wrote “About” being a Dad? Guess, I don’t read DaddyBlogs. My Blog is 99% ABOUT being a Dad. I dreamt of being a Dad and was told my wife and I would have less than 10% chance of ever having children of our own. Now I have two beautiful babies. I’m grateful and blessed to be able to write about being a Dad since I almost wasn’t one.

    If other “Dads” want to write about “other” things? Who gives a crap. I might call them Daddy Bloggers but I wouldn’t call them Daddy Blogs. My blog is a Daddy Blog but that doesn’t make me any better than anyone else. It’s just a topic you write about or focus on and mine happens to be about being a dad.

    Now for the suck part. We suck at what? Being Dad’s? Blogging? Socializing? Look, let’s put this to bed right now. All of you guys suck. That’s right, I said it. YOU SUCK! Guess what? I suck too! Now that we got that out of the way let’s embrace our suckiness! We Suck!!! Woo Hoo! Now let’s get back to doing whatever sucky thing we were doing before we all joined hands here.

  • http://www.daddoes.com Dan Dad Does

    Sorry about that. Tomorrow is another day and we will try to be more sucky tomorrow.

  • http://www.daddoes.com Dan Dad Does

    I don’t think joining hands is something that Dads do – remember, that is why we suck :)

    Good points – yes, we have all had some fun with this and now can get back to whatever it is we are supposed to be doing.
