+obed rodriguez Do you need a hug ?

Sounds like you are without your father, or had been throughout your childhood. Some men are only interested into banging girls, regardless if one gets pregnant or not. Those are either heartless pigs that don't give a crap, or he places little value in saving himself till he finds the girl he knows inside and out, and both loves each other and wants a family. Or it could be like what I am going through with my boy. I had known a woman for 18 years, been married to her for 13, and we had a son who was at the time 5. Before our 13th anniversary I've found out she was having an affair with someone that I knew far longer than she knew him (and he was bad news). Before our anniversary last year she booted me out with an unjust restraining order, just so she could move him in. As a result, I am no longer in my rightful place to be in his consistent everyday life. So as you could see, I didn't just leave my son because I WANTED TO. No, I had left because the mother of my son that I had helped brought into this world FORCED ME OUT. He is 6 right now and I feel so lost without him, though I do get to have him on weekends. But it isn't the same, I should be there, not the man that's there now. Listen, I don't know about your situation, but I will tell you this: whatever the reason is, don't go blaming yourself because IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT, so please put all thoughts of self blame away from you if you are faulting yourself at all. Whatever the reason being for him not being there, it is strictly between your mother and father. You have nothing to do with him not being there, but I can list some possible reasons for his absence in your life: 1) Your father is not there either he doesn't care 2) He was forced out like I was or even worse, if your mom possibly hates your dad, so she probably had blocked all attempts he may have made to connect with you. Things like that has happened and at times mothers want to punish fathers because of greed for child support and wanting more, or out of pure spite 3) Your father may have been a violent and abusive man, so he may have been ordered by the court not to come into contact with you and her for safety reasons. But sometimes even charges of abuse had been trumped up to get the man out as well, just to get the man out. The courts can be so sexist these days. 4) Since your name is of foreign origin, was he from Mexico or somewhere? Because often times both women and men come into the United States illegally with no intention of becoming United States citizens. There are a lot of men (especially young men) that lets their hormones rule over their better judgement, and just randomly sleep with whatever US American woman they choose. But at times a man from south of the border finds a special woman that he truly loves and wants to start a family, but has neglected opt for citizenship, and failed to apply for legal status and make citizenship his goal. Hopefully he does have a special place in his heart for you, and is willing to get his legal and financial affairs in order, and come back to the States to be a part of your life. 5) Sometimes persons come into this country with a criminal history, and they had been found out. All I can say is hopefully that isn't the case for your father. As a father, I really do feel for you. I just encourage you to seek out the answers as to why he isn't there for you. Go and seek answers to the questions you have in your heart about your father. Ask your mom, or ask your grandparents or close relatives that knows him if you must. If you have memories of him being good to you as a child, don't be afraid to ask and get answers. But if he was bad to you, please don't let that break your spirit. I don't know about you, but God is a father to the fatherless. And if you are not of any "religious circles," I am sure that there is someone that you could meet with that has a father's heart, and would be willing to take you under his wing and mentor you. There are good men and good fathers out there with that kind of heart, and I encourage you to go find someone like that. You are in a vulnerable state that could determine what course you will take with your life. You need mentorship, you need positive male figures in your life that truly love you as a father would love his own. Well my friend, Hopefully my sharing of my life as a father and insights has helped you gain a better understanding of what fathers like myself goes through. If you had not done so, I encourage you to begin your quest on finding answers to the questions in your heart that you have about your father. My thoughts and prayers go out to you my friend. Take care.

Michael Cartwright I think you need a hug too. I also grew up without a father, but in my case, him leaving was probably the best thing he did for me.

+Carol Joyner It's totally true that people who are sick should stay home from work, but I don't think this commercial is saying anything about the office. Context says the point of the commercial is that dad's don't take a sick day _from caring for their children_ -- so, staying at home with the kids.

+Sara Alexander Guess that went over her head.

Pretty sure you need a day off too Carol.

eallison425 Is just some angry woman who can't find a good man because of her personality.

thumbs up

Yup. I am such a good dad it gave my wife free time to go screw around while I was taking care of my son. Gotta love it!

That's sexist

Troll?

What is the difference between judging a person's character and performance as a parent based upon gender or race? Both forms of judgement at prejudicial, one being racist, the other being sexist. Either harms children. Just as racial labels have been let go in the public sphere (at least) parents need to unify as PARENTS without the divisive and sexist identities of Mom versus Dad. We are parents, all. 

***** thank you!

+Alex Piper "Enough with all the jokes about how men are lousy at cooking, cleaning, shopping, parenting, etc. This type of sexism is not only bad for men and boys, it is also very detrimental to women as it perpetuates the notion that only women can do these things and are therefor obligated to do them." - Emmy Rinke

The dad looks better though, lol

missbehaving77 Yes, but not too bad since he's 14 years older than Luigi DeBiasse.

Ah , OK, you're right lol. But 14 years older?..........i'll still take the dad, lol. He's in another commercial on ispot.TV called "TD ameritrade TV Spot, 'Chef'". It's OK..........but I just love scruffy lookin men ;-) lmao. Luigi, lol. Now I feel like playing super Mario brothers lol
