A gift for daddey on fathers day

Ahh, today is a day to celebrate all the stories of the millions of great dads in this world.


27 May 2008 17:10:21 -0700

A BRITISH woman has told how she was raped 800 times and made pregnant by her brutal father — a monster chillingly similar to Austrian beast Josef Fritzl. (who incarcerated his daughter Elizabeth and fathered 7 children with her)

"dad raped me 800 times..he made me pregnant so he could claim more benefits."

Yes a day Away from all the dead beat dads, the monster dads(like the austrian beast who fathered children by his own daughter), the killer dads, the dads who never cared enough for their children to end up in jail.

But that is not the only kind of bad daddy. There are other daddy's who don't care enough about their children. Ever since the daddy instinct in me came out, I am very concerned about the future of my children and in particular how i will ensure that the environment they grow up in is not adverse.

1) Bad neighbourhoods.

A man in his 30s is being questioned by police after a 15-year-old girl was found brutally stabbed to death in the lift of a block of flats near London's Waterloo station. The young teenager, who was dressed in her school uniform, had been the victim of an attack so ferocious that the handle of the knife used to kill her had broken off.

2) Not investing enough in a good quality education through choice of schools

An independent schools leader has launched an outspoken attack on state education, warning there were some pupils who "can't be controlled".
Chris Parry, the new chief executive of the Independent
Schools Council, warned state schools are struggling with unteachable children, ignorant parents, staff who did not want to be there and headteachers who did not understand leadership.
He said comprehensive
school pupils could not be expected to get into top universities if they were bullied by classmates from "disadvantaged backgrounds". Speaking of the state sector, he said: "There are too many leaders but not enough leadership, there are a lot of managers but not enough management. There aren't enough teachers and aren't enough teachers in the subjects we need. It's lacking human, material (and) financial resources." He said children might flourish if they are taken out of their state school and put in a private school, but they would fail again "if they go back to anarchy and chaos" of a troubled home.

3) Not controlling children's exposure to bad peer influence or media

A report released by Uganda’s No Tobacco Campaign shows that cigarette smoking and other forms of tobacco use are increasing among 13-15-year-olds. This is alarming, given the well-known links between tobacco and disease. Young teenagers associate smoking with stardom and are not being helped by tobacco companies which sneak in adverts in spite of their agreement not to do so. Cigarettes are largely affordable and the health warnings on tobacco for sale are small and hidden in corners. More girls are being lured into smoking by increased access to education, movies, TV, competition.

4) At home

Daddy and mummy fighting. Although domestic violence is chronically under reported, research estimates it: accounts for 16% of all violent crime will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime 77% of victims of domestic violence are women has more repeat victims than any other crime (on average there will have been 35 assaults before a victim calls the police) on average, two women are killed every week by a current or former male partner one incident of domestic violence is reported to the police every minute


And the worst crime of all:

5) We mentally enslave the minds of our children.

Gorge them with Spiderman comic books rather than a sudoku crossword, spend $10 on a ben 10 watch and would balk at spending the same amount on an early childhood learning book or a revolutionary child brain development game.
"The refusal to engage deeply with ideas is perhaps the greatest obstacle to becoming a fully fledged nation. As long as we live life on the surface of things, skimming like mosquitoes on the skin of being, we will never be able to control our surroundings...
(for) Sometimes the greatest satisfaction if all comes not from using our bodies but from using our minds. Contemplation, engagement with ideas, thinking through a complex idea until we understand it, mastering concepts hitherto unknown to us....
If we are to succeed, if we are to survive, it is the world of ideas that we need to master"


But then little children, away from the gloom.....

today the world stands to say thank you to those of us who love our children and would lay down our lives for them, even when they are not even here yet, like my unborn ones.

I don't want no fancy gifts....no let me modify that when you get to have your own business empires(you'll then admit that your busines brains were your daddy's genes), I just want some $80,000 in investments like bonds or equity, with a 10% fixed interest, and a 50 ft yacht called groovy baby

and one more thing:

heaven knows right now i need a hug, from your mommey but she is not here...... and even if she was, her and daddey are not happy.

Its been an empty week kids, and daddy is angry at mommey, for not being by him in times of stress and sadness and sorrow and when daddy is angry he writes. He can never ever ever beat mummy, so learn this lesson my yet to be born children...you don't beat her who you love and consider a partner. Nevertheless there are other ways daddey lets out his anger.

When you are born my oh so loved children, i will not show you the bad bad words daddey uses when he is angry.

Daddy will not show you the mean things he does when he is unhappy.

So this is father's day and instead of waiting for you to give me something, i will instead give you the gift of all: reading and knowledge which will free your minds to creativity and help you to steer away from mental slavery, so this is daddey's gift to you my children on fathers day:
the poem of the owl and the pussy cat(the wished for story of mommey and daddy)


I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea

In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

II
Pussy said to the Owl,

'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married!
too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?
'They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

III
'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling

Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Edward Lear(1812-1888)

The spelling Mommey conjures up all sorts of funny images but I guess that is how the new generation spells it.

I also worry about not investing enough in a good quality education for my future unborn children.

My sweet little niece is already saying ‘I wanti kechi’ for ‘I want cake’ and I keep telling my sister to send her and my nephew to good schools (read international schools because the so called good schools are no more in Uganda thanks to bona basome).
