\"family.gif\"Father’s Day Irony<\/strong><\/p>\n

It didn’t seem quite right to post this on Father’s Day this year. I had other things to promote and this one would have, um, thrown this year’s tone out of whack.\u00a0 It’s old but it’s an amusing look back at an unforgettable event.\u00a0 So, in the interest of saving old content and celebrating our 5 year anniversary – here you go!\u00a0 The most ironic Father’s Day ever.
\n
\nOne of the problems with doing a site like GamerDad is that you can’t skip out on days like today. No matter how much you’d rather play with the kids, or, y’know, be an actual dad, there’s a need, a responsibility, to write something on days like today. That can pull one in differing directions. I’d intended to do a big feature article pointing out some of the better games for dads to play on a day like this. That didn’t pan out. My wife is in a career transition, my kids are recovering from a nasty illness, and I have kind of a big day tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I’m getting a vasectomy.<\/p>\n

Yes, I just watched my wife take my two kids away from me. Barely 4 hours into Father’s Day, I watched them go. The reason is simple, my mother-in-law is doing us a huge favor by keeping my precocious daughter and dad-tackling son away from me while I recover tomorrow and Tuesday.<\/p>\n

So, on Father’s Day I watched me kids leave me. Tomorrow I’m making sure I won’t be a father again (this is the right choice even if there’s a part of me that wants a 3rd and maybe even a 4th kid) and my doctor (who is a cocky guy) is named Doctor Johnson.<\/p>\n

Kids gone on Father’s Day
\nVasectomy the day after Father’s Day
\nDoctor’s name is Johnson<\/p>\n

Isn’t it ironic? Don’t you think?<\/p>\n
