lost respect

...it dam sure shouldn't be used as birth control.

This, above all else.

I can tell you from experience, love your dad for what he is. Without him you wouldn't be here. And he won't always be here.

When he's gone, all the couldda/shouldda/wouldda in the world is just pissing in the wind.

i actually think im a better person from living with him since i was about 12. i know how to be with my family by pretty much doing the opposite of him. when i was in high school, i had chores to do before he got home from work. if everything was not perfect, he would start yelling and screaming at me for the stupid little things.

My dad was the same way, my wife also dislike him because he chooses his wife (my actual mom) over his kids. Are you his only child or first born son? Your dad is just old school like mine but would never tell me to abort a child...now my mom in the other hand is fucking crazy and would say something like that. I can tell you I don't speak to her at all.

Do we have the same dad?

i hear ya. unfortunately, for us, the child my dad said we should abort, my wife had a miscarriage. that was a horrible time in our lives.

My wife and I to this point cannot have children. We have had many miscarriages and it always bothers us to see people that dont deserve/want kids can have what seems to be an endless amount.


Sometimes life isn't fair, I too have a rocky relationship with my dad and have lost time with him over the years. We just found out he has cancer and it is pretty bad. Now I feel stupid for our lost time over issues when presented in the big picture don't matter.

The Bible says "love thy father" that doesn't mean you have to like him.

[CWO]

I totally agree, which is where I don't get where your dad is coming from. Perhaps at his and the wife's age it makes sense, but his comment to you is completely uncalled for.

Damn man, sorry to hear it. I don't know what I would do without my dad. He is my best friend, and is just an all around awesome person. I really hate to hear about people having anything less than an awesome relationship with their dad.

You do have an awesome Dad, Aaron. He treats everyone like a friend he's known all his life.

It is their decision and does not involve you.
Abort early, abort often.

If I had a kid, and he had a baby on the way - I would tell him to get rid of it too if I didn't think he was prepared to raise it, or if I thought I would be the one to have to raise / pay for it.

I don't agree with him telling you to abort your pregnancy, but for women over forty child berth is pretty rough. My sister had her first at 41, and it damn near killed her. She had congestive heart failure, liver issues, and some other less significant problems. She was in good health until the last month of the pregnancy, and it went downhill quick.

[Vertnut]

I don't understand a father who wouldn't be happy to have a grandchild. But people don't make sense at all.

Right here! When we learned our oldest and husband were having a baby, we were just as happy as they were. She's almost 1 1/2 years old, and it's been awesome. I live for my family, but not everyone does.

[SSMAN]

It's a sad subject. But if a child can't be raised properly and with the love. Some decisions have to be made. I am Pro Choice. I am a parent too. (not saying your parents would not raise the child right, but some out there will not. )

[Big A]

His own decision to abort is his choice, His comments to his son in reregards to their pregnacy is subject.

[Cooter]

they can kill a baby, but I can't turn left on a red arrow?
