On Father's Day, just wanted to acknowledge all those dads on here.

The important role you play.

I'm lucky to have an incredible father, dependable, kind, funny, intelligent, and proud to call him my dad.

I was lucky enough to spend 30 years working alongside my father ever day it created a bond between us where we didn't have to say to much yo each other but we both knew what we ment to each other. Some of my family admired that bond others were jealous of it calling me the favourite. Maybe I was and if I was I am proud of that because it was a great honour to spend my working days besides him ,he taught me nearly everything I know. Can't believe he is gone 6 years. As the beautiful song Finbar Fury wrote says I Miss Him The Old Man .

I lost my father almost 40 years ago.

In the short time I did have him around he rarely raised his voice and never told me what to do.

He set an example by what he did rather than what he said and I've lived by that principle ever since.

I do get a bit jealous when I see others having a good relationship with their fathers. Well more sad if I’m honest. My own father was a tramp. A d*unk in my younger days and when he sobered up he became a very hateful person. He died in jail serving time for sexual abuse a few years ago. Me as a father. Likely can do better. My kids never needed for anything up until a year ago. Just unfortunately lately I don’t have the same cash available to make sure they have everything. But I will get back there again. This year 2025 I’ve decided to put myself first and I’ve explained that to my children and thankfully they are in full support of seeing their dad out enjoying himself again after looking at a shell of a man. I don’t want to die and my children saying he was a sad lonely man. I want to die with my kids saying that fucker was nuts and enjoyed himself

Not everyone has a great father. Which is a shame.

My father has always told me that I am one of the many "third parties" who has come between him and my mother. Everything was hunky dory when it was just Dad n Mum. But then I came along and I quickly became another of those fiddle faddling, messing, third parties who got over involved in my fathers relationship.

He refuses to discuss further and simply tells me that I should do what is expected of me.

When questioned, he says I should KNOW what is expected of me.

Whenever I have no friends, I don't go out, I don't have holidays, I stay at home and I jump when he needs something, then everything is okay.

Sounds like a complex, domineering relationship. Can you get professional advice about how to handle it? It might be well worth the money.

My dad was great & I have a lot of his traits. Lost him in 2015. Still miss him.

Unfort, my kids father is a piece of 💩.

The less contact he has with them is actually a good thing.

Christ, what a drama to have to deal with that complexity.

Thanks everyone for sharing those private stories. Not everyone has a postive paternal figure in their life and that can be a travesty.

Being a parent is a honour but parents are also humans with flaws and challenges. I know I'm a lucky person to have him in my life and I hope his character traits are passed on.

I've had many jobs but only one that really matters. Being a dad is an enormous privilege, challenge and source of eternal joy.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.

I'm only still where I am because of my kids.

I consider myself a father first and everything else after.

Hence why I hang around in a sexless marriage.

The happiness and mental health of my children is paramount and I strive to make sure that they get the support they need even if it means I suffer.

I'm not looking for the little violins but I know I'm a good dad🤷‍♂️🙈
