So now that you have been commented to death over this crazy lady. haha. I had to say my peice. I have 3 daughters, and one son – as you know. Two of those daughters are identical twins – as you also know. And I get your sense of humour, quite similar to my own, and truly enjoy it, and I agree with most of things you say. Including protecting the virtue of our daughters. So good for you for deleting her post. And then again deleting it. After all, as you said, it is your perogative.

It is both too bad and too sad that some people always look to find offense in others. I hope you will continue to blog and raise your children as you see fit, despite harsh critiques from those who don’t know a joke when they read it…

I had to come out of the woodwork too, to say… not all Kats are critical nimrods. At least I’m not. At least when you’re not my husband.

I think its cool to go back to your “roots” as a kid blog. I have different blogs for different purposes – a family blog I keep entirely separate (no links so I can gripe!), but I end up blogging about my kid on my personal blog more than half the time. I just don’t have to try to be cute about it, cuz great-grandma isn’t reading there.

I don’t really see the big deal. Kat obviously don’t approve of your views but who cares? Life would be very boring if everyone felt the same way. You know you’re doing a great job with the kids and not at all sexist.

You see, Kat’s comments are the type you *should* approve. Anyone offering to share their stupidity so willingly ought to be obliged.

Why? Because then your regulars and lurkers have the opportunity to rise up (or de-lurk) and take her apart limb from limb… figuratively, of course.

Chances at glory don’t come often; grab’em while you can

Kat: you seem to play nice on MetroDad’s site. Did you lose your sense of humor between there and here?

Aside from the fact that the gift may have practical applications, we are honored and humbled to have this elder gentleman, who as a craftsman, can only think of YOU as the deserving recipient of one of his creations. It shows that YOU have touched his life in a very special way and he is letting you know it in his very special way. That is the point.

Give me a break.

Speaking as a father of 2 girls, I have, many times, said something similar… and if I am sexist because I want to protect my daughter’s virtues, than sexist am I.

Kat needs to get a sense of humor and realize that this is YOUR blog, and you can opine any way you want.

You a sexist? Ha! That would be like calling you a serial
killer…it just couldn’t be further from reality! Besides,
your mother would disown you! Oh, and I think I saw Kat on
Jerry Springer last week.

I think that that is the natural reaction for any man…let alone a father. My husband teaches high school and coached basketball and he had the same reaction when one of his “girls” dated someone he didn’t care for.

Oh…and Kat…you sure know how to unleash hellfire don’t you? Why didn’t you read a couple of other posts before you made your judgement…Hmmm I wonder how “Judge not lest ye be judged” gets interpreted by you.

Well, it is the Internet and thus there will always be someone trolling or flaming from behind their mask of anonymity. FWIW, I don’t think there was anything wrong with your entry or joke.
