    I feel for you, and all the dads who play an active role in parenting, especially single dads. Like, how do you even take your own kid to the playground these days without getting the cops called on you?

    I know it’s not socially acceptable to acknowledge the ways in which men struggle in society, but that’s something that needs to change.

      i dunno. I’m an uncle and a social uncle, i take the kids to the park all the time. all you gotta do it pass the vibe check. which generally means all of the moms there have to not be stressed.

      i usually take the kids to a park i built and has my name on it so that helps, but still.

        So in other words, be clean-shaven, don’t have long hair, dress like a normie, don’t have a stutter, be known by everyone in your community, have enough money to donate a playground to a public park, and hope all the moms are having an okay day? Got it.

          i only meet two of those: be known by [most] everyone in your community (because i’ve lived here forever and have been involved in the community by choice) and hope all the moms are having an okay day. When i say i built the park, i mean i built it with my own hands. I didn’t donate to it. got my name on the sign. Sort of lets you come and go from the park as you please.
