Now Father\u2019s Day, not one skunt! Or very limited stuff.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Trust and believe I won\u2019t be supporting no restaurant, stores, persons who did things for Mother\u2019s\u00a0 Day and not for Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

We men already being at a disadvantage \u2013 a father has to get a letter from the mother to apply for a passport for his child but the mother doesn\u2019t.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Just because of spite a mother can take a father to court for child support. SMH.<\/p>\n

Now to this BS that a child is best to live with the mother, hmmm really?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Only thing the court has done in the favor of males is mandatory DNA tests. Now look dey jacket nf a gi way like AG Morgan ah hab sale.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

With this being said, you business people need to do better, we fathers (well the great ones) need our day respected, and the treats for mothers give us likkle dey please.<\/p>\n

And just like the electricity when the rasta man from APUA come, I am out.<\/p>\n

I Am not bitter. I am for f**king frustrated.<\/p>\n
