Try Again Mothers

An article was submitted to DIYFather by one of the many mother's sites online. The article is dedicated to fathers on their special day "Father's Day".

However this article in my view is not dedicated to men or even written for men as an audience but rather an attempt to be-little men as fathers to their female readers.

...These were just two examples of the fathers in the animal kingdom. Fathers I mean human fathers this time; have more responsibilities towards their kids and they strive to fulfil them in a rather clumsy way [no offense dads!]just to please their little ones, which is admirable and cute most of the time I should say… so in order to appreciate them in a special way Father's day is celebrated every third Sunday of the month of June...read the whole article

But then why send it to DIYFather??? clearly DIYFather is a site solely dedicated to Men as Fathers, so mothers really think it is acceptable to belittle our abilities as fathers?
I'm not a clumsy father to my children, and I certainly don't perform my role as a father just to please my children either, I perform my role as a father because that is who I am. I am a father and I am damn proud of it and I do it well.

I don't meet clumsy fathers I meet brave men willing to give it all they got to be the best father that they can be, with love, strength, tenderness, support and time.

If mothers really think that this article from a mother's site is truly dedicated to fathers, Try Again.
