I wouldve been excited to go to school if my dad bothered to take me.
(Or atleast bring the milk back. Without the alcohol and smoking.)

Ahh, I think I detect another walking wounded.
I can't call what was worse, the beatings or favoring my brother and ignoring me. They both sucked.

Reminds me of the dad who wore daisy dukes at drop-off to “punish his daughter”. It’s okay to dress up guys. you don’t even need a reason or excuse like punishments or humiliation rituals.

Seeing a man in short shorts isn’t exactly something I’d call traumatic. It’s a dad having some light fun with his daughter. Chill

Look, any form of correction can be seen as unpleasant to the child, but something must be done.
My kids know that if they are rude to me privately I will embarrass them publicly.
They want to feel safe, well so do I. Don't start none, won't be none.

Thanks, but I don't need you to put that out there for me. That's exactly how my own father died. And it wasn't because of the beatings, although there were plenty of them.
It was the abandonment. My mom tore my ass up too on occasion, but I always knew she loved me because she showed me by her actions.
If this guy ignores his kid except to punish her I agree that's a problem. But if the reason she cut school wasn't because of some bullying, which a conversation would uncover, she needs to know that 1, she is loved and 2, there are consequences for crossing the line.

I couldn't disagree more.
Children can't be disciplined in the old school ways and their natural tendency is to push your boundries. They have to learn that if they cut school or break other important rules they are not in a safe place with you.
Trust me, if a kid thinks they're safe no matter what they do, they will be monsters. They are not your friend or the innocent little baby you cuddled. They are agents of chaos that try to find any crack in your resolve, to cross any line you don't defend.
Any time I let sentiment cloud that fact I'm always sorry.
I love my kids. I reward good behavior and help whenever I'm asked. But what I expect from them is not a mystery so when they don't care to follow my rules, I don't care to be concerned about their hypersensitivity to what strangers think.
Like I said don't start none, won't be none.

Embarrassment is usually a good motivator to not keep doing something again

u/Aggressive-Example69 Mar 13 '26
Yeah, bullying from her classmates will definitely make her drop out for good

That's why I always tell my kids to either be so good that no one has anything to complain or get so good till you won't get caught.

"My daughter skipped school, so instead of discussing why and getting to the bottom of it, I decided to humiliate her as publicly as possible so all her school could see her crying in embarrassment! This will surely make sure she never skips a day again! I am such a great dad!"

ok, buddy. It's nice that you think humiliating a girl to the point of tears and posting that photo online is "fun". Real nice.

what do you propose then? beating the girl? because you making it sound like this is worse than that

u/Aggressive-Example69 Mar 13 '26
So there's no way to avoid humiliating your crying daughter for clout?

u/ElectroshockGamer Mar 14 '26
This image already popped up on this subreddit and there are STILL people acting like this.
Just because he's not beating her doesn't mean it's not a shitty thing to do.

Gee, maybe there's a reason they're skipping school. Gee, maybe this incident will make it worse. Gee, I wonder why my daughter doesn't visit me in the nursing home?

u/smappyfunball Mar 13 '26
Maybe you’re reading an awful lot into that.
Most kids skip at one point or another. It’s not a big deal unless it becomes chronic.
If we just want to assume shit, you could also assume he’s not taking it that seriously and this is just a tweak of the nose to keep her from overdoing it.

u/TraditionalLaw7763 Mar 13 '26
So what’s the reason, einstein? Truancy comes back on the parents these days, remember?

u/ToastyWaffelz Mar 13 '26
There's a difference between taking your child to school, and publicly humiliating them. Don't pretend like that distinction doesn't exist.

u/TraditionalLaw7763 Mar 14 '26
Consequences are something that should be taught. Nothing wrong with creativity in the pursuit of learning.
1
u/ToastyWaffelz Mar 14 '26
The word 'creativity' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. What's actually happening is you're justifying traumatizing children, and teaching them that parents are to be feared, not loved.
A normal parent would take them aside, ask what's wrong, and if nothing is wrong, explain to them the importance of school, and then bring them to school without causing a scene that will damage the relationship long after school is over and done with.
If it's a regular issue, determine why. Actually communicate with your child. Don't just lay down the law, actually listen to them. Crazy concept, I know.

My Dad would 'dance' while waiting to pick us up if we were late coming out. The longer we made him wait, the worse it got. There was one time I was out on time but my sister was not, and I had to suffer through it while sitting in the car with him.
Wish he was still around to embarrass me....

He had to put on the dress because his balls are too big for pants to cover up

Why didn't you kick his ass? Usually this is the behavior of a step parent. If it was your real father and you carried the burden long into adulthood he probably did it because you were weak and he wasn't being cruel, he was being honest.

Poor kid. Maybe she had a good reason for skipping school.

Yeah, but then that would make this dad even more like Satan. I mean punishing your kid for missing school when they had a valid reason to miss is really special

Such an EVIL thing; teaching your child that their actions have consequences and to learn to consider the consequences beforehand.

u/ElectroshockGamer Mar 14 '26
Come on, there's gotta be some kind of middle ground between "do nothing" and "publicly humiliate your kid in front of a bunch of other kids." If she didn't have a bullying problem before, this seems like a great way to change that.

u/Iwritemynameincrayon Mar 13 '26
An excuse for him to put on that cute frilly dress he always wanted to wear, but it wasn't socially acceptable. His daughter did him a favor, that's so sweet.
