If his daughter decided SHE would like to play soccer to interact with other girls, and told HIM that SHE would like to use it as a tool to make new friends, get exercise, gain confidence in herself, learn about teamwork and responsibilities, and have fun, Psych wouldn't allow it and would lock her in her bedroom?


"Not liking the most boring and pointless game in existence".
* "Boring and pointless" to HIM! Is SHE not allowed to decide? Perhaps it may be exciting and meaningful to her. Meanwhile, it seems Psych is going to convince her that HIS opinion should be HER opinion.

Now how would gutter ( or the rest of us ) get from there to your more recent clarification?

Second sentence, "As Americans..." mouthbreather standard copy paste repeat.

It blares I am scared of the entire world and change and only want the comfort of things I am used to.
It's extremely on brand - like right out of the factory.

Allow Psych to clarify:

I would not forbid her. I would go to her games, swallow my revulsion, and cheer for her. Heck, I endured three years of sitting in Bill Snyder Family Stadium watching my older son and feeling like I was going to vomit the whole time, so this would not compare.

I am not going to encourage her to play, though. I will continue to offer alternatives and encourage those. Her mother was a cross country and track athlete, so she can do that. I played and loved basketball and tennis, so I will encourage her and play those with her. Athletics are an amazing socialization tool and promote physical and emotional health.

I don't rule with an iron fist, but I offer my opinion and my preferences. I don't think it's any different than people saying "My son will never play football because I think it's too dangerous."

But, hey, don't let that get in the way of the portrait of the monstrous, evil, misogynistic father you all were in the process of painting.

Left for "vacation" (visiting family) 4 days ago. Day 1, the pass is closed due to a wreck....the alternate route added 3 hrs to the trip. A 9 hour drive took us 12.5. Hotel was double booked, moved to a smaller room...whatever...but...still.
On the way back we drive 2 hours out od the way to visit some caves....the last cave tour is supposed to go at 6pm. We arrive at 5pm. Buy tickets. wander around....at 5:45 they tell us they forgot they are having a private tour at 6 and they aren't doing more tours. So....yea, cool.

Hotel #2. horrible, won't go into detail but I'm not a person that generally cares about a hotel....I sleep there and I leave. This was atrocious.

Get home late tonight. At some point in the last 4 days. Somebody stole my leather carpenter bags, my occidental set up I had on the side of the shop. No idea how anyone would've even known they were there. $600 set of bags, plus probably $350 worth of tools in them. fuck right off. My cameras apparently picked up nothing?

Also, at some point in the last 4 days my heat pump decide now was the perfect time to take a shit. It's 93 inside my house. I'm resetting breakers, checking fuses and replacing filters all to no avail so far.

It's hot, I'm not very happy, summer fucking blows.

So now tomorrow's gonna be a long stupid fucking day. I have to go to work, and also figure out where to send my family since it's gonna be 104, and also figure out where to find a new way pump in the middle of July and get it installed and set up so we have some goddamn heat relief.

Oh, also, one of my cats, George, good damn cat. Just wandered off the morning we left and bothered has been no sign of him since.


I'm gonna lose it shortly.

if nothing else was taken, this absolutely sounds like a case of someone knowing what was there and what they were looking for. i’d put an APB out to all the local peeps you’re in good with to keep a eyes and ears open
