out of the mouths of fathers

By raincoaster

You may have noticed, gentle reader, that we have a category for “BabyHaters” in the sidebar. We’ve just arbitrarily decided to extend it to include people who hate kids older than babies, particularly their own.

Like this guy.

SwimAh, parents. What won’t they do for their children? Now, you take Huang Li, a 10-year-old girl who went for a three-hour river swim with her limbs bound, hoping eventually to make it into the record books.

She covered nearly two miles, and when she got out, her father said - now pay attention, because this is probably the quote of the month, “Next time, she will swim further and I’ll follow her in a boat to ensure safety.”

Maaaan, he probably thinks she should walk home after swimming, too. Faint hope he gave her bus fare, eh?

    Nice. What’s next - tying her to an anchor and dropping her overboard?

    Let’s see, I’ll bet we can come up with a record HE can break…
    Say, number of years his child is in therapy?
    Or how long he can stay afloat in that boat of his after we’ve poked a hole in it?

    What, Steve Irwin dies from a ray sting and this guy is still around? UNFAIR.




  4. Ana Says:

    That is just horrible! Yes next it will be tying her to an anchor to see how long it takes before she starts drowning. Dumbarse!

    Chicklet, couldn’t have put it better myself (which is code for “wish I’d said that”).




  6. Mary Says:

    This makes me think of the novel “Geek Love”. The parents experiment with various chemicals while Mom is pregnant so that they can create their own freak show.

    Isn’t that Courtney Love’s life story?
