Haven't gotten a fathers day card or even had it acknowledged in years. Probably since I got full custody. Make you feel better? Doesn't change my belief though. I'm his dad, not his buddy. He's got his mom to coddle him and let him do whatever the f he wants. (which is why I'm in this position in the first place) It's my job to parent, teach responsibility, and accountability. If he lies and proves to be un trustworthy, then he won't be trusted. With that comes loss of freedoms and privileges (phone, tv, Internet etc) Pretty common sense stuff if you ask me. You obviously don't know me, but I am one of the most trustworthy people you would ever meet. But if you lie to me you have lost my trust, and it will take a lot to rebuild it. My son has proven that he lies compulsively. So that is where my distrust (of him or those who lie to me, not everybody like you would like to paint with your broad brush) comes from. Again, pretty much common sense stuff if you ask me. This is me hopefully being polite and Christian like. NoBama 2012
