Father of the Year

Ladies and gentlemen (I'm assuming my faithful readers are one or the other), I heard some news today that made me shake my head. Worse, when I heard the news I think I even uttered the "F" word - in front of my Mama Meanie no less!!

I warn you now, this is a very personal blog entry and I'm not attempting to be objective. Nor am I trying to be politically correct or nice - hey, the blog is called "The Screaming Meanie" not "The Screaming Nicie".

So what's the news??

The future Mrs. Meanie's ex-husband is a Father again. Yikes!!

Ok, so at first blush, this may not seem so shocking (or personal). But for those unfamiliar with the exploits of the Dumb Ass that is my future's ex, I shall enlighten you.


The Father of the Year (who shall from here on in be referred to as FOTY or dumb ass) already has 2 children that he has chosen not to see.

Yep, you read that right. For reasons unbeknownst to me (or anyone else for that matter), after leaving his wife for another woman, he just decided one day to stop seeing his children. That was 4 years ago.

How does a man live with himself after walking out on his kids?? He'll tell anyone who will listen that his "bitch ex-wife" won't let him see his kids. But I can assure you dear readers, that that's a big steaming pile of monkey crap. He has never, not once, been denied access to his children. Even if the future Mrs. Meanie wanted to, as an advocate of Father's rights, I never would have allowed it.

Spreading his bile may make him feel better when facing his friends (like the bible-thumping hypocrite or the forever expanding Italian), but I can't help but wonder what goes through his little pea brain when he's on his own. When there's no one around to lie to, does he think about his kids?? About what he's done to them?? Does he think about them on their birthday's?? And does he feel guilty for leaving them Fatherless?

Well, they're not really Fatherless. They have me. And I don't toot my own horn very often, but as far as I'm concerned, they've upgraded. They may not call me "Dad" (a conversation I'm sure the future Mrs. Meanie and I will have soon), but I am "Dad" to them in most senses of the word. And come November 7th, I'll be "Dad" in EVERY sense of the word.

As a Father myself, I can't help but wonder how a man could possibly leave his children. More specifically, why did Dumb Ass abandon his kids?? I wish I knew. All I know is that he was pissed that he didn't get his way in court and hasn't seen the kids since. Is it nothing more than the mother of all hissy fits?? It's hard to think that someone can be that childish, but I really don't have any other explanation.

So before I end this blog entry I must ask the obvious question - is his current wife the dumbest woman on earth??? Seriously, I'm not asking tongue in cheek. He's already abandoned 2 children - why in the name of the Baby Jesus would she ever want to have a child with this dork?? What makes her think that he won't abandon their daughter??

And when he's holding that little girl, does it remind him that he already has a little girl that desperately needed a Father?? Not to mention a son. But not to worry, his two kids will be loved and taken care of. They will not go Fatherless - I'll do it. And I'll do it much better than he ever could have.

Any idiot can make a baby (FOTY is living proof of that), but it takes a man to be a Father!
