NickMom Insults Dads

We’re not sure where this “Parenting Techniques: Moms vs. Dads” originated, but NickMom wasn’t shy about slapping their logo at the bottom of this stock photo dad-hating comparison. The image runs through most of the prime examples of painful fatherhood stereotypes where mom is a God and dad is a f*cking idiot child.

There are some hilarious images out there that poke fun at both mothers and fathers.

This one is simply biased and insulting.

Singapore Education Minister Heng Swee Keat paid a visit to the Chongzheng Primary on the first day of school in 2012 to applaud involved fathers for their dedication to family.

“Chongzheng Primary is one of 46 schools to have the ‘Back to School with Dads’ programme,” ChannelNewsAsia writer Monica Kotwani reports, “one that encourages, among other bonding activities, fathers to take their children to school.”

Both Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson at the Chongzheng Primary are fathers, so programs like “Back to School With Dads” are common and encouraged.

If you’ve watched any amount of the Nick Jr. channel since your kid was born (and don’t lie, you know you have), you’ve had a talking moose all up in your face, bombarding you with the phrase “read to your kids 20 minutes a day and inspire a lifetime of learning.” Reading to your kids is immensely important, even if you think you’re just reading to an out-of-control tornado. At literally every step of development, your kids are listening to your voice and speech patterns and developing their sense of what “correct” speech sounds like – and not to mention, they’re also creating an emotional bond with you as the person sitting there reading to them.

Think about it this way – since your kids learn how to talk from how they hear YOU talk, you want to have a time where you’re giving them some “good input” – that is, sentence structure that’s better than your day-to-day slang-filled conversations. I know it’s cute when your kid repeats the f-bombs you drop, or when they say “no way dude,” because they heard you say it – but it’s much more of a crowd-pleaser when they recite Rudyard Kipling, believe me.
