One night I heard sobbing coming from the backyard. I looked out there and it was my father crying alone in the dark. His older brother was dying so it's understandable but he was ashamed and got tougher with me after that because I had seen him vulnerable. Has anyone seen their father cry?

I am actually pretty iffy about how people have voted up a jokey comment on a serious matter, yet if this was aimed at women, it would be thumbed down to the max. Not blaming you for posting the comment, just irritated that the thumbs up has gone up to four, when if I said this about women, it would be thumbed down.

I thumbed up Space Ghost once for his comment and if I am not offended why are you? It's called humour you should try it sometime.

I'm glad I didn't offend you. For a moment, I was a bit concerned for my humor being misplaced. I appreciate your approval, by the way.

Not trying to actuate the "clique" mentality here, but; those thumb ups probably came from my IIN pals.

In the unmoderated section, I have a joke against someone's mom and it has three thumb ups at the moment. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is me making the jokes? Or maybe they are just funny to some people?

I still find it iffy. Ofcourse, I'm not saying that you shouldn't post those comments, humor is good, but I find it irritating that if someone was to use the same humor in this situation in which the mother was crying, it would not get any thumbs up, even if a pal said it.

I don't know, I am more so irritated at the thumbs people if they are the same people that would thumb down the exactr same comment about a crying mother.

One of the criteria for a thumb up is "funny".

I don't appreciate you trying to bring up your issue of gender divisions in a subject that doesn't really involve gender divisions, but you have every right.

"I am actually pretty iffy about how people have voted up a jokey comment on a serious matter, yet if this was aimed at women, it would be thumbed down to the max."

You're building your argument/complaint on an assumption. There aren't any stories about crying Mothers for you to base your claim off of in which the same users that thumbsed up Space_Ghost participated in the commenting and thumbsing process, hence, it is an assumption. Whether or not it is a good one or an accurate one, it is an assumption, whether or not it is a good or accurate assumption does not change this.

"I am more so irritated at the thumbs people if they are the same people that would thumb down the exactr same comment about a crying mother."

And yes, I understand that this statement contains an "if", but that "if" is still based off of purely hypothetical assumption.

Sorry, I am thumbsing you down for this one. This is me explaining why, because I have the time this time ;)

Like I said, I am still a bit iffy. I tested this whole thing out before aswell. I made a joke once that all women are idiots (in an obvious joke manner), and I got thumbed down to the max (I can't remember the story of which I commented, so I'll have to do it again to show you), and then I made a joke about how all women are smart and interesting, and it was hardly suprising when "that" one got thumbed up and the joke on a matter of women suffering was thumbed down.
So no, it isn't an assumption. If so, I ask you to show me where a joke that is seeing women in a negative light has been thumbed up on a serious topic in which a woman is in a negative state, I assure you that you'll find none.

There are many stories about females being in an negative emotional state, maybe not this exact same situation, but the conclusion is the same; they cry.

I have time, in which is all I need to give you proof of this happening. I'll reply to you again soon.

I've seen my dad cry plenty of times.
Comment Hidden (show)
I grew up with a typical old father who demanded this "macho" idea that males express no emotions.

Dad was staring at the wall in his office, I asked him if he's alright, he immediately told me to vacant his office. I refused and demanded he answer me, from there I realised he was crying. I was EXTREMELY BEWILDERED and CONFUSED, I felt like an idiot not knowing how to react to him. So I just walked out and closed the door.

Mum told me he just found out his Mother just passed, oddly enough, his mother (my grandma) was his comfort zone, someone who he can openly express himself because granddad was exactly like my Dad.

All jokes aside. No. I've never seen him and I wonder if he ever has. Wait... There was that time when my Mother returned to her parents home. Her choice of transportation was by a locomotive. The whole story is too embarrassing to tell, but he did cry then. That was long before I existed, though. So I've never seen him cry with my own eyes.

Possibly once, when my grandmother died but my memory is fuzzy, due to the fact that my mom has repeatedly stated that he hated my grandmother.

My Dad was kind of an asshole. He dealt with his problems with anger and sarcasm. My Mom said that the day I was born, when he held me in his arms, he cried. Probably because he realized that if he stuck around, his youth was over.

Enjoy your belated youth you fat prick.

My dad has ASPD the same as me, so i've never seen him cry, but you also don't want to hang out with him in the first place.

Drugs don't do anything for ASPD, it's not a mental issue, it's just a personality that can't be changed. And i wouldn't change it if i could, it makes my life very easy.

Well them drink the cool aid, I know what a great job for killing is and aspd is perfect for the military become a marine if you get off on killing people.

Aspd is not perfect for the military at all, they seldom follow orders and operate on their own agendas. If you don't follow orders correctly you'll get killed very quickly.

People with ASPD don't get off on killing people, most never kill anyone.

Hahaha correct you really do have ASPD, Do aspd get put on a list why is it hard to acquire firearms the legal way? And putting them on a government pension to not get envolved,is there really nothing a aspd person can do to benefit for themself of course but also make their country benefit also >_> Codeword for government let me do what i want.

Twice, I think. At least that I can remember. One time I was crying too, when I was 11 and we had to give away our dog. She was dangerous and we couldn't control her and we both knew that. But my dad and I had bonded with her more than my mother and brother who wanted her gone. We were right for letting her go though, and as far as I know she wasn't put to sleep in the dog centre but was given to someone else who knew what to do, so that was a nice ending :)

The other time was the morning before his dad, my grandad, died. We knew he would be dead before midday. I didn't cry even though I felt like I should. But my dad did a lot, even though he never liked his dad.


EDIT: Oh, and when I piece of chilli pepper hit him in the eye and we all had to go to hospital with him. That was horrible but hilarious.

I've seen my dad plenty of times. He cried when his father died. He cried when my mother had debilitating back problems. He cried when he saw his estranged sister. He cried when Blackie, our dog died. He cried after an argument with my mother. He's an emotional person whose extremely kind to most people. Though lately his racism has gotten out of hand...

My family is odd. I've seen my father naked with an erection, but I've never seen him show any emotional vulnerability. Seeing him cry would be something akin to the end of the world.

@: dappled
I don't know if this is one of those times where it's okay to laugh or if I should shut up.

Looks like it's too late to shut up, so I guess I'm laughing!

lol, no, you can laugh. We were in a caravan (everyone sleeping in one room basically) and he was desperate for the toilet so got up without dressing. But alas it was morning, and we know what happens to men in the morning. It appears he had forgotten. :O

Aww, that's so sad:(.

Yes, I have seen my dad cry, but only twice. Both times he was drunk. It's normal for men to cry, though. Your dad isn't the only one, and it's a shame he feels ashamed about it:/. It's understandable for him to act this way, though.

Once, when he went with me to a psychologist. Basically the reason was he felt like "it" was his fault.

Yes, I made my father cry once.

I really don't know, but now I'm crying! He revealed he cried on my account last year. He was very descriptive, so I can see the road, him driving in his car, worried his "little girl" is a crazy fuck. Sorry, dad. ;(

I haven't known my father long enough to see him cry.

I've actually never seen my dad cry, and I've only seen my mom cry a couple of times. My dad probably cried when his mother died..but that was in 1997 so I don't remember.

The one and only time I saw my father cry was when I was in the depths of anorexia in bed refusing to eat and him by my bedside with a glass of strawberry milkshake (that ensure meal replacement drink). It makes me sick to my stomach because he's a tough guy he didn't even cry when his mother died, I broke him & I have broken his heart multiple times because of my eating disorders on the bright side I'm doing well at university final year, at least I can give him that.

How on earth would I know???

My died in a accident when I was about 2 or 3. I only have about 2 or 3 memories of him and those are blurred but they were happy moments.

Once, in an airport. We got news that my grandfather had cancer and wasn't expected to live longer than a couple days. My dad decided take my brother and I to him, it was my grandfather's dying wish to see his grandchildren one last time. A couple of hours later, when we stepped off the plane to Massachusetts, my dad looked at my brother and I and started crying. He kept saying that we didn't make it and he died the night before.

It is normal. Men cry too, although not as much as women.
I've seen my dad cry once, when his mum died. But saying that I hardly ever see my dad so he could be crying more often. Who knows.

People in my family don't cry very often, but my parents and I are very close and I have seen him cry many times. But he kinda more "tears up", I am not sure I have actually seen him cry like most people cry. Maybe when my brother fucked up, he was pretty upset then. I don't remember, I was crying.

I've seen my uncle cry before and in a honesty, it would have to be one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed.
He's basically my father figure, my male rolemodel, etc. He's one of the strongest people I know.
He's seen what I've gone through, and he's always been there for me.
He's pretty much my hero, and to see him cry was definitely a tear jerker for me.

My dad cries a lot because of me & my sister living the opposite end of the country/ having EDs/ being depressed/ him having cancer (gone now, just) but it's awful It's possible the worst thing iv ever seen, it's just so upsetting :( x
