    I'm the same, we have the traditional old school setup. 

    Could you share your thoughts on this? And how it affects me and norton. @RIPBenny

    Ah yes, you guys are vanilla dadded. It's not a bad thing. It's hard to pull too much information from your dad situations because you guys are part of the overwhelmingly majority. I expect most people have 1 single and and 1 or 2 grand dads. These people are generally straightforward and down to earth people.There is also a high amount of variance in this group, so I would need a bit more data to make a solid analyses of your psyche and how your dad affects it.

    I have anywhere between 2 and 5 dads depending on the day and my mood. It seems as though 2 dads is the optimal amount of dads, but exceeding that number of dads isn't detrimental.

     

    My man,  imo 2 dads is a very solid number of dads. Seems like you really know what you're talking about. I've never had 5 dads, but I'm sure it's a lot of fun!!

    Thank you Benny for engaging in this discussion with me, I think maybe together, myself with the knowledge of almost everything in the universe that has ever existed, coupled with your unparalleled knowledge of dads, we can dismantle this issue at its very core. 

    What do you propose we do? To remove this "blurred day" theory. That's what we'll name it.

    Ah yes, the Blurred Day Paradox.

    I think it would be tough for just 2 lads on the psobb ultima forums to make a significant difference. But 'ultima'tely I think we must start by first being the change that we wish to see. Every little bit helps. 

    Here's what I propose we do. We need to start creating and distributing propaganda and lobby with the senate to create more leniency and sway the public opinion on the punishment of our children. Back in my dad's day, you would get a solid beating to set you straight if you misbehaved in school. Where did that go? We need our fathers and community leaders to govern over us with an unwavering steel fist. 

    I said that to say this: if my dad administers me a nice beating in the morning if I don't wake up at 6 AM sharp, you can be darn sure I'll be getting up that morning. This is the best solution I can think of, it's really foolproof. Today's children and young adults are plagued with what I like to call "Snowflake Syndrome". But you know, nothing is special anymore if everything is special. And we need to enforce a powerful mentality to help heal our nations.

    I propose we bring back dad's beatings. However, I'm open to discuss other suggestion if anyone has a solid approach to this conundrum. Together, let's make our mornings mornings again.

    Every day just feels like one endless blur to me, each day passses into the next; a cohesive pattern that bears no semblance of hope. The concept of morning is lost -- gone, nowhere to be found; the harder I search for it, the more it slips through my grasp. The hours fly by, and before I know it, my mind is bewildered by light peeking through the miniscule gaps in my blackout blinds. Teasing me of what exists in the outside world.

    My mind is a prison, my room is the cell.

    The illusion of balance has shattered, there is no yin and yang, light or dark, morning or night. Time simply does not exist for me in the same manner as it does for @RIPBenny or @McLaughlin86 or even people with overwhelmingly large foreheads. If I "wake up" at 10am, is this my Saturday morning? If I wake up at 5pm every day, can it still be considered my Saturday morning? Morning can be anything, though not entirely through my choice, it's an endless struggle where I desperately look to just grab hold of whatever I can that could represent a bedtime.

     

    This is art in its purest form. Truly a marvel of the modern world. And I think that you bring up a great point. You know, there seems to be a running theme among young adults in today's America (UK is like our son) where it becomes a struggle for us to live like our fathers before us. In these times we are all connected by the internet, but it is but a fickle and superficial connection. I believe that forming and maintaining these connections releases dopamine and endorphins in the brain and we become addicted to it. It becomes very easy for us to sit in front of a screen and feel good while time and life flies by untended. I'm not sure if this is the root of the cause, but It is definitely a major player in this game.

    So, in essence, we are required to spend much less effort to feel the same rewards vs people even 20 years ago before the influx of desktop computers into the modern household. People tend to spend all day and all night basically releasing feel good chemicals into their system for free. The days blur together, and the missed morning represent missed opportunities. It becomes an endless cycle. How to we break it? Is this depression? Is this the pinnacle of the human condition? I can't say, and I think that you are seeing the puzzle that plagues our society today. I think it makes for an interesting discussion. 

    Back in the day, my dad would just beat me and cure this nonsense out of me. But in these new times of political correctedness and soft ladymen, beating your children is frowned upon. This makes it tough for our elders to break through to us through our thin soft skins. In effect, we are all that we have. I love you guys even though my most physical connection to you guys is a wirelessly transmitted series of 1s and 0s. I think as a community we need to (metaphorically) hold each other up and heal together. Let's make our mornings mornings again. 

    Thanks, Zabby, for your beautifully poetic and thought provoking post. <3.

    How many dads do you have?

    Hey everyone! As you may or may not already know, I am a big dad person. I like all kinds of dads. I sometimes engage in the study of dads and the effects of dads on the human psyche. Recently I've had an interest in surveying the number of dads people have. So how many dads do you have? I'm looking forward to seeing some great responses!

    To start off, I have 2 dads, but sometimes 3.
