Father Is The Enemy By Johnysky by johnydon22(m): 12:36am On Nov 25, 2018 |
The father plays the role of the enemy to his children, perhaps uneasy for the world he has plunged them into, perhaps paranoid that they may be too innocent for the world. A hero playing the role of a villain donning the garb in every way. Source: https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/johnyskystory.com/father-is-the-enemy-an-essay/amp/ 21 Likes 6 Shares

Johnny this is a very nice write up. Now that I have my own son I have always wondered, "what kind of father will I be?". I never had the opportunity to grow in a normal household like most people on my street. My dad left when I was 3 months old, for reasons known only to him, and forced my mother to raise me in abject poverty. I was only saved by another man, a German, who was dating my mother's friend and took interest in me. He was my father. He sent me to school, taught me how to calculate and keep accounts even though I knew the calculator would be my best friends when it came to calculations(I am still terrible at maths), showed me first hand how he managed his business, paid his workers, how much came in and how much went out and I will be forever grateful for the times he allowed me sit in his office and listen to him discuss business deals with his clients and even allowing me on several occasions to play the secretary when he had sacked the last one(and he sacked many). He thought me how to give and show love to everyone. He appreciated everyone and was mean to everyone at the same time. However it was never like a real home though like the one you have described. I always always welcomed into my neighbors homes and I would watch, during the weekends, how their fathers would react to us playing and making noise while we were playing around. I have been witness to several ass whoopings they received for not doing their homework or for refusing to eat what their mother had cooked Sometimes I would watch their parents in subtle romantic moments with each other laughing and even arguing and yabbing themselves. Even though I know I would never experience such a family setting of my own I have always looked forward to creating a "perfect" family setting for my children. Yes I will be the best father I can be! I will teach them, male or female, to stand up for themselves. They will learn to fight and protect themselves and the ones they love. They will learn how to make money, I am a businessman, and provide for themselves and their family. They will learn to be logical and process every information they receive based on facts and rely on their own research. They will be the very best they can be. And even if they hate me for it they will learn, just like you have, to appreciate it because that is what fathers do! 25 Likes 6 Shares |

lalasticlala this is one of the best posts I've read on this forum. The below part cracked me up Inever got a sweet from papa by asking for it, he always gave it to me when he wanted and that was rare. Any request for sweet would be met with a barrage of questions that always made me regret my request. Spare the rod and spoil the child. It's so sad that some men are turning into sissies with the way they raise their children. 4 Likes |

It seems like somebody recognize what I see in this current society the trend of making the father a villian, you will rarely see somebody saying they love their father they love their father. People already make up this image of their father being a demon that should be hated when in reality he is the anti hero that is prepared to deal with you merciless if it means that you will grow up the right way. No wonder we have so many sissies in the society now a days. Anyway I love you dad and thank you for everything. 1 Like |

This is true. While growing up, I saw my father as an enemy. It got so bad that I almost started bearing a grudge against the almighty for not making me a bastard. As a dad, I know better. God bless all the good dads out there who know when and how to terrorize their family to bring out the good in them. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Nice write up. My childhood was similar to the OP. My father was a task master who brought up his children with blood and iron. A strict disciplinarian to the core. At one time I think I even hated him because of his strict nature while I loved my mother because she was so free with me. When I became a father and family man I unconsciously understood my father and his mannerisms,which I adopted in raising my own children with some modifications. To be honest I miss my father because he is late and I really want to talk to him and appreciate what he did in my life,but it is just too late. To any body reading this,If your father is still alive and he is not a dead beat father but someone who provides for his family but is just a disciplinarian,Please appreciate him today in any little way you can because it may be too late when he is in the grave as he will eventually be. I miss my father. 4 Likes |

I really dig the OP experience but I will advise others to check this too.. "If by Rudyard Kipling" "Abraham Lincoln Letter to His Son Teacher by Abraham Lincoln" |
