[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So after 18 pages of snark and petty jealousies, I’ve concluded a “Bro-Dad” is basically a nice, fun, fit husband and a good, involved Dad. I can see why the typical beta-cuck DCUM Dad’s are threatened, lol! [/quote] Damn the boys a liar [/quote] Huh? Wish we had more bro dads out here!!![/quote] Not many in dc. Mostly uptight stiffs around these parts [/quote] Totally disagree with this! I definitely know bro dads in DC. I think a bro dad is just a bro who is a dad. A bro is just a guy to whom it has never occurred that people (well, the people he thinks matter, which does not include all people) don't agree with him on everything -- politics, sports, life priorities, how to spend money, where to live, even how to parent or maintain their yard. Like a bro is just an entitled guy. The line between confident and a$$hole on a bro is whisper thin, because they don't know how to be confident without being an a$$hole. They weren't raised that way. A major feature of a bro dad is that he thinks his kids are the best kids AND that parenting is super easy, but either his kids are also entitled jerks OR their mom or nanny does 100% of the parenting and he just takes credit for it when his kids are well-behaved, good at sports or activities, get good grades, or look presentable. He's never actually helped with any of the work it takes to get kids to that point, but he's pretty sure his kids are like that because of his innate awesomeness. Even though when left alone with his kids for 5 minutes, he will immediately get bored, annoyed, or both, and is apt to call his children lazy, ugly, or stupid if they don't please him. Which is why his wife doesn't let him parent. Despite not doing any parenting, he will still give you parenting advice. He will give you advice on anything, he's an expert on everything. His job is usually consultant or lawyer or something business-y (DC bros are political or business-y, not sporty or casual like on the West Coast), but he's actually mediocre at it. Bros fail up though, so he might still be high paid -- everyone in his workplace hates him though because he doesn't seem to do that much work but always gets bonuses. Clients love him though! Bros, and bro dads, often have punchable faces. Colin Jost is a bro dad! Bro dads talk about college a lot, both their college experience and where their kids will go to college. Bro dads get SO MAD about how white guys don't get into all the good schools with A- averages anymore. But bro dads can be "progressive" if being progressive means telling other people how to be progressive and also acting superior because they donated to charity. Sometimes bro dads worked in the Obama White House. You'll know if they did. Because they told you. Every time you interacted with them. Also bro dads can be Bernie Bros! Synergy. Anyway, lots of bro dads in DC. I have met them on playgrounds, at soccer, at popular family-friendly restaurants. Sometimes I meet a cool fellow mom and am sad to discover she's married to a bro dad. Other times I meet a fellow mom who stresses me the eff out and then I meet her bro dad husband and am like "oh, that explains it." [/quote] Please do a write-up of the moms that marry the bro-dads. Please.[/quote]
