Wait with blowing it up

Men are even more stupid than women. Guys have an orgasm and nine months later there is a baby.

It is true that the woman might have had an orgasm as well.
But next she has a child growing inside her body.
Carrying an extra weight around increasing daily.
Another life inside her vulturing her body and corrupting her health.

Next, the woman has to go through the delivery of the baby that, outside the USA, is a painful and often horrifying and traumatic experience.
It makes the woman love her child generously and forever.

Meanwhile, the real culprit is simply standing by playing billiards or ice-skating.
He might take his son or daughter later for a walk and that’s about what his involvement will be.

Now, there are exceptions to this very darkly painted role of the fathers in our world.

For sure every fervent and loyal blog reader is an exceptional father.
But today we want to spotlight one of the most remarkable fathers ever.
Who should be an example to every aspiring man wishing to increase the world population.

We talk about Henry Fox who lived in England from 1705 to 1774.


He was a member of Parliament first but then became the Paymaster of the Forces.
This job was to be the chief purchasing agent for the Navy.
He made a fortune in that position by being a crook.

He had a son called Charles James Fox.
And a very specific opinion:

“Young people are always in the right and old people in the wrong”.

And then he had another amazing opinion:

“Let nothing be done to break the child’s spirit.
The world will do that business fast enough.”

Now, it is one thing to have great ideas about children, education and pedagogy.
But it is a totally different ball game to actually introduce these enlightened ideas in the actual upbringing of the rascals.

Check out now how Henry Fox was a Dad.
One time he promised that his son could watch him demolish an old brick building with gunpowder.
But the pledge slipped his mind and he blew up the building wile his son Charles was away at Eton school.
When Henry Fox remembered the promise he had made and that he had forgotten for his son to see the demolition, he had the place rebuilt.
When Charles came home, his father blew up the building all over again.

Now, fervent and loyal blog readers, that is being a father.
And of course the son meanwhile excelled at school at classics, mathematics and languages.

Later, the son could enjoy himself as much as he liked.
He got an unlimited allowance from his father.
The son, Charles James Fox, got into gambling, drinking and experimenting with passion.
But he also studied Herodotus and traveled all over Europe meeting Voltaire in France.

When the son had reached the age of 19 his father decided enough was enough.
At that moment in time the son had accumulated a debt of £ 140.000.
That’s several millions of USDollars today.
His father settled all those debts to the penny.
And got him a seat in the House of Commons.
Where the son became one of the first liberal and enlightened politicians.

“Young people are always in the right and old people in the wrong”.

Isn’t that all about trust?
That the father puts a foundation in the son that, no matter what, the son has the right to live his own life 100 % guaranteed ?

So, for aspiring fathers: have the gunpowder ready.
