Re: Dadophobia
I think the last line of perhaps you should get to know the father (mother, parent, parents, etc) is spot on.
I lived with my dad so maybe I'm a little more sensitive to the topic. I actually wasn't allowed to sleep out at all (totally my mistake after a lying incident - oops!). But my friends parents all knew and loved my dad so they were allowed to sleep at my house.
I agree with this but do wonder if divorced dad's are at a disadvantage if they aren't the primary caregiver and around as much to know the other parents.

There was a local story on the news maybe a year ago about a mom who had sex with one of her son's friends at a sleepover. So yeah...
There is no way in hell I would continue to be in this group and I'd be the troublemaker at the meeting with a big fat "are you f'ing serious" speech.
This is totally how I feel. It has no difference if it's male or female, since the tendency to molest has no gender, imo.
So there isn't even a option to vote to let him be a full member? So not only are you excluding him but the kid too.
i agree! thats ridiculous. and sad. i feel bad for him
hell i am MUCH better friends with guys than i am with girls.
i need tor ead this article jusdt haven't had a chance
Seriously shameful. I wouldn't be part of that group anymore. Way to discriminate.
looking back on this.i was really good friends with a girl and her parents where divorced. dad was a WAY better parent than the mom (in the grand scheme of things) and looking back on it sleeping at her dads house we where in way better hands than at her moms. her dad was and still is awesome.
Out of our group of families that have kids, I feel a lot of the Dads are the better option of the 2 parents to be supervising kids. So as long as I knew the parents, I'd be fine with a sleep over where only the Dad is home.
NO! Isn't that odd. I thought it was like in or out but not this limited membership. I just joined myself and this was the first official email I had gotten.
Now there's a bunch of assh0les who take themselves entirely too seriously.
Open house? Partial/full membership? Give me a fuccking break, they're not a freaking country club.
This makes me want to cry.
This makes me wonder how these women treat their own husbands. Probably the types who would say, "Heehee, my husband doesn't know how to cook food/clean the house/do anything! Men are stupid, lolz! I don't let him go out with his friends or do anything!"
One of my biggest pet peeves in life is women who just have to be in charge of *everything*. The ones who need to let everyone else know that they're the ones in charge, and usually the ones who spend all their time making rules and arguing about things and planning things out instead of actually DOING it.
me too.. so sad... DH works weekends and is w the kids at least 2 days a week by himself.. and is always the only dad at the playground... i admit he is a better parents than me when it comes to patience and stuff like that...
this makes me sad...
The whole mentality of "men are idiots" that's perpetuated by women/TV is pretty crappy in general. I'm sure there are plenty of men who embrace it because it allows them to sit on their a$$es and do nothing but it gives men like my husband (who cleans way more than I do and parents K at least 50%, etc.) a bad name.
what kind of moms club has a secret vote to vote on who can and cant be members etc. Christ what is this HS. I wouldnt join that kind of club.
I think its a shame. I have a son and I like him to have male role models, male babysitters, male playdates with dads etc.
Wow - hate to tell you this but the women you are associating with in this group are a bunch of f*cking a-holes.
That's ridiculous. I feel bad for him. And them - for being so pigheaded and ignorant and just, well, ***-ish
Wow. My bil is a stay at home dad and deals with crap like this all the time.
