Douchey Dad Revisited

'Guest post from The Hubs'


Apparently Jen hit a douchey nerve with her previous post.

I had no idea Jen had so many Douchey Dad readers and that they cared so much what she thinks or writes.  Before Jen started writing I never even heard of or read a blog before.  I think I was too busy on the golf course with my Douchey Dad friends.  Now that she has found a great audience and her voice, I fully support her writing and her sharp wit - even if she makes me look like a bitch sometimes.


Well, I want to answer some of the Douchey Dads, because they obviously need and want the attention, so I am going to give it to them.  If you are reading this and you are a dad - a douchey one, I just have to say one thing:  "What the fuck?"  Why would you waste your precious time reading a chick blogger that you don't even know?  I understand why the ladies and the great dads read the blog.  It's because they can relate to and understand the sarcasm and recognize the humor in their lives.  I read Jen because she is my wife.  But for the Douchey Dad, "You sir need to get a life and stop being a total and complete douche."


Here is my theory on why the Douchey Dads are coming out and the OAMs are coming out as well.  The Douchey Dad is embarrassed that he is such a douche, and the OAM wife is really embarrassed that she is married to a complete and total douche and now everyone knows it.  They make up the complete family sized douche canoe.  The Douchey Dad feels bad that he has completely missed out on his kids' childhood and does not want to be called out and the OAM is overcome with guilt that she has allowed this to happen, but the only choice she has is to "stand by her man."  Well, guess what?  Your Douchey Dad husband will always be a douche because you don't tell him not to be one.  Hey, Douchey Dad, you still have a chance not to be a douche, but my guess is you are too douchey to even recognize that.

Someone thinks that we are jealous of their lives.  If you think I am jealous of playing golf all day with a bunch of douchey guys sitting around talking about total and complete bullshit, you are wrong.  I have spent time with these douche bags, and they are not all bad, just some of them, but I still don't want their lives.

As for being rich equates to being a douche...that is not the case at all.  Lots of wealthy guys who belong to country clubs are great dads and not douche bags, but there is a subset of the population that happens to have money and they are total and complete Douchey Dads.  Case in point, the Douchey Dad who Jen wrote about and the Douche Dads who got all upset after the post and whined about it.

Douchey Dads will wonder, why is the Hubs writing a response to us?  Where's Jen?  She can fight her own battles.  Well, that is very true.  Jen did not even want to talk about this anymore because it was over and she felt like those guys were jackholes and didn't warrant a response from her.  But I felt that the Douchey Dad really needed more inspection and attention, so I wanted to write this.  After all, I want to fully understand why someone is such a douche.

As for any more Douchey Dad comments, feel free to let the world know just how much of a loser Douchey Dad you really are.  We love your pageviews and your douchey ways.  All of the readers love to see them because they show us of what a true Douchey Dad is all about.

Also, if you are playing along...Douche or Douchey has been used 34 times in this post, so drink up!

I can't help to think that the only reason someone is getting upset is because they are trying to defend being that type of person. Lighten the fuck up or get off this blog!

  45. This is the first post on the blog I've read, which I found through a funny post on babble blogs. I read the douchy dads post to figure out what the heck you were talking about. Here's my take, as a first impression.

    My parents are bartenders. As a kid, I observed plenty of douchy behavior: people who snapped their fingers as though my mother was a slave, whistled like my father was a dog. People can be total assholes, and those in the service industry get to see plenty of evidence. But I honestly don't see that this guy's behavior warrants such fury.

    He found a quite space to talk to his kid on the phone. Presumably it wasn't off limits, or you could have asked him politely to leave, and a refusal would have been an entirely different post about douchbags. So he wasn't out of bounds. He was too preoccupied to notice when he was in someone's way, I agree, a douchy behavior, and one that many many people are guilty of when it comes to being on their cell phones. He was weirded out by his kid's missing tooth. So? Some people have a thing about teeth. I think kids with missing teeth are cute, but I also have dreams where my teeth shatter and fall out, so I can sympathize. Obviously there's a whole group of people who think missing teeth are icky, not cute. I don't get it, but whatever.

    The thing I found strangest here though, was that my entry point on this blog was a post not just defending the over the top anger at fairly moderate annoyances, but claiming that anyone who FOUND it over the top was also a douche.

    I am unfamiliar with this blog, and probably won't stick around long enough to become familiar. Nobody has to read it if they're offended, but a blog is a form of entertainment, and presumably a blogger wants an audience. As a blogger I don't understand alienating parts of that audience for... Disagreeing? How about- yeah, I know not everyone who golfs is a douchebag (you know that right?) Something about this guy just really rubbed me the wrong way.

    I dunno. The story didn't seem upsetting enough to warrant a rant. The dissenting voices REALLY didn't seem upsetting enough to warrant another rant. It's your blog, do what you want. It just strikes me as a waste of energy (the last couple rants, not the whole blog).

    1. Haha, I totally just used the word "presumably" twice. In my defense, I overuse the word in real life too, but I'm not sure that actually makes it any better.

  46. Yes, but room with a group of people working in it is not a quiet place to talk with his kid.

    Most people might start to take the call there look up, realize omg someone is working (ewww), smile or nod and leave. He pretended they were not there. That is just as rude as a whistle or a snap.

    It's pretty clear he views other people to be lower than him and yeah that kind of does warrant a rant.

    And I may be a little white trash but we don't mind a few missing teeth in our photos. It is cuter on the little ones though.

    I just have a quick question, and I am sure I will be flamed, but I honestly do want to know. When "Gomer" is 12-13 and bullies, what will you say? When he tells you he is just being funny at someone's expense, will that make it ok? What if he is not calling anyone out by name, but just making fun of a group, maybe the kids in band. Is that okay? I read your blog for the first time with the elf like probably everyone here. I thought it was funny even though I do think of funny things to do with ours. I have stopped by a few times since then, and many of the posts are just mean. It isn't the wit and laugh at yourself type stuff. It is attacking someone's parenting in this instance. I think you can call it what you want, but there is a big problem with bullying in schools and if the parents are teaching it and condoning it, it will only make it worse. You can blow this off, which I am sure people will, but there are real kids who are breaking because they are made fun of daily.

      Jen is not "bullying" this guy, or "poking fun of him", just calling it like she see's it. Pretty positive she was just calling a spade a spade. If she had cut on his nerdiness looks, or fat, then that may be bullying, but she wasn't. I believe Gomer will grow up knowing the difference between bullying & being shocked enough by someone else's behavior that he can laugh about it like his mother. Have you never talked about the rudeness of strangers? Bitched about the guy who cut you off while driving? laughed at the purely asinine things some people do? Pretty sure we all have, and that's why we enjoy Jen's rants so much, she puts it out there, and we can laugh together.

      She posted about him so that people could laugh, ridicule his parenting, call him a douche. I don't think he did anything so shocking. He went golfing during the day. He was nice to his kid and he offered to help celebrate losing his first tooth. Kids set up sites or cyberbully all the time, and I just don't see much difference. I think a lot of parents will see it your way and I think a lot of parents also stick up for their kids in the same way when they bully. I just think it is a valid question. I am not saying I am perfect by any means, I am just pointing out that she is making money and promoting a site that in essence makes fun of people who didn't do anything to her. It would be hard to then tell a child that they shouldn't write hurtful things about kids at school on their facebook walls.

    3. Anonymous13:32

      Did you not read the last part where he was more concerned about his child's appearance than of the milestone of losing his first tooth? Jen observes people doing things that deserve a punch in the throat. This man was inconsiderate, and in using her term, a douche canoe. It's the name of the blog. If she were to write about all the good that people do around her, which I am sure she observes also, then she would have to change the name of the blog. Jen never once mentioned the man's name, whereas in cyberbullying on FB, you would know exactly who is talked about. There is a difference. Raising our kids to understand and see this difference is not an easy task, but it is very doable.

    4. Anon 11:01 AM - Seriously hit the nail on the head so I'm reposting it for all the people that can't seem to grasp the objective of this blog:

      Anonymous Apr 27, 2012 11:01 AM

      "Jen is not "bullying" this guy, or "poking fun of him", just calling it like she see's it. Pretty positive she was just calling a spade a spade. If she had cut on his nerdiness looks, or fat, then that may be bullying, but she wasn't. I believe Gomer will grow up knowing the difference between bullying & being shocked enough by someone else's behavior that he can laugh about it like his mother. Have you never talked about the rudeness of strangers? Bitched about the guy who cut you off while driving? laughed at the purely asinine things some people do? Pretty sure we all have, and that's why we enjoy Jen's rants so much, she puts it out there, and we can laugh together."

      THIS EXACTLY.

  48. Ohhhh a good drinking game once the kids are in bed. Whew, thank the maker I am not classified as a Douchy Dad. I follow this blog because I find it humorous, I'm not a mom...obviously....but I am a dad, I would rather spend time with my kids than golf with a bunch of a-holes any day, in fact I spend my time with the Cub Scouts making things better for not only my kids but other kids as well. If you'll excuse me, I need to go an pack for a training weekend to prepare myself for providing a better program for my Scouts.

  49. @Molly Well it could be quiet or not... It's hard to picture. I'm imagining a side room that is done with a lunch shift or something, and the caterers (or whoever?) are cleaning up after. Whether it's noisy or not depends largely on the room's acoustics. I didn't take it as ignoring anyone, he's just letting them get on with their jobs (until he gets in the way and doesn't move, which, yeah, douchey). I wouldn't think a phone call would bother them. Did I misread something here? I'm not getting the ewww factor.

    It's like... I was on a plane a few months ago with my then 7 month old. He was fussy unless I was standing, and I didn't want him to scream the ears off of everyone, so I took him to the cabin space in back. I asked if they minded me being there, but I mainly asked because 1) I knew I wasn't really supposed to be there and 2) In the cramped space, being somewhat in the way was sort of unavoidable. We didn't really interact at all while I was there (except to shuffle out of their way) but I wasn't ignoring them, I was just letting them do their jobs.

    Or how about you go into a bathroom, and someone is cleaning one of the stalls? I don't think it's rude to use the restroom and leave without speaking to them. They probably aren't interested in making small talk.

    As for the teeth thing, who knows why people feel the way they do? Some people juggle geese.

    1. Well I reread it and I guess I did misread. It would probably be harder to stay out of the way in a set up situation than a tear down. Still having a hard time picturing the room and whether it would have been ridiculous to go in and take a phone call.

  50. Those who can't recognize satire for what it is should get a life. Or stop reading this blog. Certainly satire is exaggerated - otherwise it wouldn't be satire - but there is always a grain of truth in it! Though hubs - the one who protests too much seems a little guilty to me!

  53. I think the next drinking game should be about how many times the post makes a commenter "pee a little"!

  54. I think it was more like 34 cases of the d-word, but that just means I got to laugh more times. You make a great team of throat punchers. Honestly, I read your blog because it contains all of the types of things I would say on Facebook if my pastor weren't one of my "friends." LOL. If I wanted unicorns and rainbows, I would find a different blog to read. Not sure why some of these other douches would rather just stick around and bitch and moan, but at least they give the rest of us someone to ridicule. Cheers!

  55. Although I hate to point this out...

    You may want to consider advertising Depends or bladder control products. I lost count of how many of your loyal readers "peed just a little" after reading this post!

  56. Methinks a lot of us who linked to Jen's original post on our FB pages have a lot of DD and OAM friends who read it and got offended. Hilarious!

  57. A toast to the hubs...34 times! ;)

  58. I find it very funny that the vast majority of people complaining about this blog or being offended by it, commented Anonymously. As for the rant about bullying, Jenn and Hubs wrote this on HER blog. She did not post this to DD's blog or facebook page, etc. The name of this blog is "People I Want To Punch In The Face", not "I Really Hope I Never Offend Anyone's Fragile Freaking Egos". The title pretty much says it all. And to all the complainers, YOU came to HER page, she didn't come to YOURS. Put on your big boy britches and get over it. Great post.

    Ha, well stated "Hubs" and Wife of hubs before! These posts have the "Cats in the Cradle" song playing in my head now. Douche canoe?? lol, I'm gonna have to remember that one. When you've pissed a large number of people off, it means you wrote something worth writing. Kudos to drawing attention to dickheads who think they're great dads because they pay the bills, even if they have no idea what the tball coach's name is.

  62. Ahhh hahahaha! I love that you used my phrase "douche canoe"! No I do not own, however it is my favorite thing to say/ Additionally, readers who have issues with this post are most likely douchey parents that don't like their secrets aired.

  63. I always like you Hubs. Now I love you. Don't tell Jen. GREAT post!

  64. Dude, I just want to say I had your back on the Valentine Letter.

  65. Sounds like there might be some sensitive Douchey Dads out there. I like that The Hubs told them off. I don't think Jen needs to waste anymore time with them. They're D-bags, plain and simple and apparently the truth hurts. Boo-hoo.
    I love the blog, read it all the time. Keep on blogging!
