Is it wrong for a father to want to take his son and nephew on a guys trip, and exclude the daughter?

[Anonymous]

Its a simple question. Its not that the father doesn't want to spend time with the daughter, its that he wants to take his son, and nephew along with some of his friends on a male bonding trip. The wife in this situation is apparently pissed off about it because the daughter wants to go. the father offered to take her on a trip just the two of them, Offered to really do anything she wanted other than taking her along on the guys trip. The wife asked why this is necessary, and the father matter of factly said "Some times guys just need guy time and that's what i want to do for them." The wife said "I am offended by this, guys dont need that" and so on. He is also taking his nephew who is being raised by a single mother, and has no male role models.

Personally i agree with dad. Some times guys need guy time. I mean FFS girls do girls nights and girls trips all the goddamn time, why can't men have the same. Especially when he is trying to bond with his son and nephew. Of course reddit, which is where this originates, is suggesting that this man is a sexist misogynistic pig, when he really isn't. Its sad that women feel the need to take away male bonding from sons and nephews. Its sad that Women have forced their way into male only spaces.

What do you think? If i were him, i would be divorcing her, and taking the children from her, especially because while married she's using the daughter as a weapon against him. Really what the fuck is wrong with a father wanting bonding time with his son..

It makes perfect sense for the boys to have a guy's trip. Boys and girls are different and it's good for boys to have masculine activities together once in a while.

The mother is 100% wrong. She is siding with the daughter against her husband and actively poising the relationship between the girl and her dad. I that wasn't the case, she would have been happy at the prospect of doing something with her dad at a later date, just the two of them.

It's a guys trip. Would a boy be invited to a girls sleepover slumber party, I think not.

The psychiatric field and how they manipulate or guide patients changes and modernizes as much as the computer field.

I've heard they do not even use long standing general IQ tests anymore they are so inaccurate.

Nope. He's entitled to do a boys trip if he wants. Just take the daughter on a different day.

Agreed. by the way you know who this is. I can't find the original post, but what I did read of it he bent over backwards to make his daughter happy, and his wife refused to back him.

I fully support girl only trips, mother daughter bonding time, and really anything like that. I also support the need for a father to bond with and teach his son, especially since his nephew is being raised by a single mom. Nothing against single moms, but a boy need all of the positive role models he can get.

What I don't understand is the wife in this situation egging the daughter on and using her as a weapon against the father

[Agape93]

The mom here is frankly a bitch. He didn't do anything wrong. A good father teaches his kids and helps them experience the world in a safe way. He did that, so she can fuck off.

Yeap lol I know your work

I actually asked my wife about this and she said, "if we were in this situation I'd offer to take our daughter on a girls trip while you were on your guys trip" love her for that.

[Agape93]

Exactly. She's a good woman and you're a good man.

Of course the daughter can and should be excluded if it's a guy's trip.

The mother's ridiculous mindset is the same one that destroyed the Boy Scouts of America.

If the children are small then yes.

Children don't know what the hell is "guy time" and bonding which sounds stupid by the way.

If you exclude children over something so ridiculous they are automatically going to interpret such that the father doesn't love them and is showing favoritism.

Let the little girl go and have some fun on the trip with her brother and cousin instead of some guy bonding bs.

Dude the daughter is 11 the son is 14 and the nephew is 13

They aren't small children dude.

[seeyounexttuesday]

And even still, that doesn't mean that the dad wouldn't do things with the daughter that didn't include the son. Even schools have Daddy/Daughter dances.

[Asker]

Exactly

Sometimes boys gotta be with other lads.
