my dad is amazing. i grew up with an abusive mother. he worked from before i woke up to just before i went to bed, so he didn't see the abuse, but he often brought us home a little carton of chocolate milk, which we could have that night or the next day. he taught us to handle our emotions and understand them, he taught us to communicate our problems. he even took me to get my first proper bra because my mom, amy, wouldn't. i was 34DD by the time i got my first non-trainer bra. when he finally understood i was being abused, he started by taking me to work with him every day, since i was homeschooled and he owned a small shop. when the abuse became bad enough that i was going to end it all, he had me pack my things and we left in a literal car chase from her. we lived in the shop for 2 months, as he put me through driving school and looked for a place to rent. he BUILT a shower that connected to the sink for me to use. we got into a duplex just before Christmas. he drove me to every circus class, as i'd been taking classes for years, and every therapy appointment. he got me a dog to help with my mental problems, and held me through every breakdown and anxiety attack. when i learned i'm autistic, he helped me figure out what things i needed to live comfortably as i could and thrive in my own developing life. it's been five years now. he's happily divorced, i'm 21, on meds that work amazingly for me, my room is decorated with all the things i love, and i have my dad alone to thank for the stability in my life. and he's never once expected anything in return. i love my dad so much. and will spread the kindness and story he gave to me until the day i die.

[@brandonhainstock2928]

[@jimc.goodfellas]

[@thealrightygina5725]

Good roosters actually always play a role in their chicks lives. They primarily guard everyone from danger but they will call the babies to food and water just like they do the hens and they keep infighting to a minimum which helps the mother hen conserve energy as she has to fight to protect her chicks from the other hens less. There's even a breed of chicken (the Nankin) which is reputed to produce roosters that will brood just like the hens will.

[@DpackMocktail]

That’s Really Cool 🐓 ♥️ 🐥

[@debbieken5639]

So true, in my family's farm this happened twice. The first time, the hen being careless left the eggs (many times unattended in the day) and I would always see the rooster sit on the eggs for them to incubate until the hen returned in the evening. The second time this happened it was after the chicks had hatched and our hen died, the rooster was like their mother always leading them to food. This was heartwarming and surprising too. 😅

[@Just1Nora]

My dad had a female cat that got pregnant the first time and produced his favorite cat who sired her second litter at like 9 mos old. This was in the mid 70s and the books said house cats couldn't father children at that age, but he never read the book. BUT the important part of this story is that he watched the mother nesting and set up his own nesting box, waiting in it, and got depressed when he didn't have any kittens. Mama cat abandoned that second litter and dad, Sunny, stepped up and raised his kittens; grooming them, carrying them to the litter box, going into the kitchen and legit opening the bag of cat food (Remember when those paper food bags had that stitched top that unraveled when you pulled the correct thread? He figured out how to pull that thread by watching the humans) and scooping out pawfulls of food and dropping it on the floor, then he would call the kittens in to eat. He was an S teir dad and even let my sister and I play with him and would keep us in line, gently, in his golden years. He lived to be 19 or 20 yrs old. RIP Sunny, you were a wonderful boy.

RIP Sunny, that cat was a legend. Cats being fathers is more common then people realize though, we have two strays, sweety (female) and garfield (male) and the first litter she had with him we got the troublemaker sandy (male) and while he's friendly toward both parents, sweety... well that was probably her first litter and my guess is the stray dogs had a snack and that's why he's a single child, so she's only friendly with humans and not her family ^^'. Dad though? Most patient guy ever, lets everyone else eat first and spends a lotta time with his son with no complaints. Although there's definitely a percentage of male cats that see newborn kittens as prey because RIP two of my friend's kittens, but that's more a domestic then a stray issue afaik When can cats actually have kittens though? 6-8 months but the younger the female, the higher chance of stunted growth, losing the litter and potentially losing the mother as well due to birth complications, which is why a full year is highly recommended, but it's not when they can actually breed since most creatures can breed before reaching full physical maturity

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I am the oldest of four girls, born in 1951. My mother was often sick, so my father did a lot of caring for us and the house. In the 1950s he taught me I could do anything a man could do and how to physically defend myself. The only time I saw him a fight was with a drunk neighbor who got in my father’s face because he was hanging the wash. As my father had been taught Judo as part of his flight training in WWII, it was a very short fight which ended with the neighbor picking himself off the ground and limping home. I was very impressed. My paternal grandmother and great grandmother were independent, part Chickasaw women who lived hard lives and had a big impact on my Dad. There were many stories about my great-grandmother who once chased a cougar away with a broom. Her husband, a cowboy, had left a deer on the roof of their dugout to feed them while he was on a cattle drive. The cougar tried to steal it. When I was not much more than a toddler, my grandmother held a rabid dog off us with the big prairie style bonnet she always wore when gardening until my grandfather could lure it away and kill it. Bless him, he risked himself to get it out of sight so I wouldn’t see it. Both of them encouraged me to get an advanced education and helped me out financially when they could. Both were amazing cooks and whenever I visited stocked their pantry with my favorite foods. I still remember my grandfather making me all the root beer floats my heart desired. Thanks so much for reminding me of my wonderful father and his family. Speaking from experience, the role you play as a role model for your daughters will guide them all their lives.

Which airs on discovery kids, the plot (according to Wikipedia) follows the kingdom of Equestria, its three species of ponies-earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns-live harmoniously. Twilight Sparkle, a studious unicorn, travels to Ponyville to learn about friendship at the urging of Equestria's ruler (and her mentor) Princess Celestia. A poll token in November 2019 right after the series ended asked “if they know, how did your parents react to you becoming a brony?” over 90% said that they either never knew their father or that there father left them at a young age. Many of other studies have been conducted and I believe that 100% of adults who watch the show do not have fathers unless they are watching the show with there children.

[@morganqorishchi8181]

My dad was in his 50's when I was born - long story, wasn't intentional - and I am constantly pestering him to hang out, sending him things I paint (I think I'm mid but he loves my stuff), and checking on him to see if he's actually doing okay or if he's just downplaying his stressors and health problems again. The multi-generational gap makes it awkward between us sometimes because we grew up in very different eras, on different continents, and his parents were definitely not great role models for him so he sometimes just seems lost on what to do. But we make it work. I legit took psychology classes just to figure out how to communicate better with him and that's helped. I've always known I wasn't going to have him as long as other people have their dads. Wildly enough, though, it was my health that failed first. In a 1 in 84 million chance, I developed bleeding duodenal ulcers at age 20 without it running in the family. I lost 60% of the blood in my body and flatlined for over a minute. And who was it that I saw when I first opened my eyes after emergency surgery, who had the foresight to grab my childhood favorite toy so I'd have something to hold onto for comfort in the hospital?

To me one of the most interesting cases of good vs bad fathers in other species is the fact that male wolves are excellent fathers (and mates) while male domestic dogs are nothing more than sperm donors because humans have taken on the coparent role.

Are they, though? I mean, if humans remove from dogs the ability to _be_ dads (that is, to stick around and raise their pups), how is that the dogs' fault? If we're going to evaluate whether or not dogs are good fathers, that would require you study what happens when father dogs get to _keep_ their kids around.

At first my dog who is male wasn’t very happy to see another dog especially one that was energetic and would require a lot of attention by me. In a couple weeks he was cleaning her coat, playing with her and letting her eat before him. I have a photo of them and he looks like such a proud father while she looks like she’s gonna go get into trouble.

I hope you don't feel guilty for parenting not coming "naturally" to you. Human beings aren't like animals, we don't instinctively know what to do for our kids like animals do, human parenting takes research and trial-and-error, mistakes will be made sometimes and that's okay. It's very brave of you to do all that on your own, and sweet that your child was your motivation for enduring it.

[@Nirrrina]

Parenting does really come naturally. I think some people just pick it up as they grow up. But the rest read books, talk to their parents, talk to experts & Google a shit ton of things ever since Google was invented. I'd hope I'd be the same as you if I had my own kid. But between all the meds I take & simply not wanting my own I haven't had any & I'm happy with that. But my mom & I had my older sisters kids from very young & I do adore kids. Especially the little ones. We'd end up with my niece& nephew, my cousins two & my sister's friends kids on new years eve all night & well into the next day. Good thing I brought my friend too. That was fun for us & the parents really appreciated being able to go out & party while knowing their kids are well taken care of. I hope to continue on with the next generation as well.

I've had domestic cat males that cared for kittens emotionally, taught them how to cat, and generally cared for them as far as physical needs. I know domestic felines are far from wild big cats, but it somehow doesn't surprise me that they're so similar in this way sometimes. This same male I'm thinking about the most regarding caring for kittens was a stray I cared for as he grew. He later had his own litter with my landlord's lady cat haha. I knew they were his as his was a ginger Maine Coon mix with a very specific genetic tail deformity that passed down to the kittens. Either way, his favorite charge was a kitten I'd taken in after trying to catch his litter mates for ages. They slowly disappeared with only him left when I finally got to him. The male would babysit to the point of following the kitten around my apartment and immediately alerting me if he got behind appliances and places he shouldn't be or could get hurt, or he'd rescue the kitten himself. He'd cuddle, groom, and reallt just stuck with the kitten as any bonded family member, despite being unrelated. It was so cute. He was such a good boy.... I miss him dearly.

Honey, I love the way you promote family. And a love for nature in all it's forms. We live where there are a lot of coyotes, so I get to see a lot of interesting behavior. Once saw a "family outing," of mom, dad, and two pups, out in a field hunting mice and rats, and who knows what, but it all was first time hunting small things for the kids. Every time the littles caught anything, the parents acted like it was the greatest catch of the day. They pretended to fight over it, and then gave it back. They flushed another mouse out, and pretended to fumble it so the pup could get it. It probably lasted all day, I had to do something else after an hour. At one point, the dad stalked his child to lunge and wrestle the kid down so he could hug and kiss the little guy, which is the same thing I used to do with my kids. Happy father's day to all the cool dads who raise cool kids.

"African wild dogs will actually let the pups feed first rather than have the most alpha male get first serves and have everyone else fall in line" I mean, neither do wolves. Wolves only take on "alpha" like behavior in captivity because that's basically like putting them in a prison.

[@bolbyballinger]

With some exceptions. In Yellowstone one of the original mothers of the Druid Pack was 100% an alpha female. To the point where the whole pack got fed up with her. She tried to kill one of the other female's (who the "alpha male" got along with much better) third litter of pups after having been successful the previous two times. This time though the other female fought back and the rest of the pack joined in. She was chased out of the pack and soon after died from her injuries. Alpha behavior isn't as common in wolves as people think, but it is absolutely there.

[@AVDB95]

While wolves in the wild tend to have less alpha behavior their is still an eating order/ hierarchy. The breeding adults are the first followed by the adult offspring and the pups are the last to eat. So it's remarkable that wild dogs will let the pups eat first.

[@giantWario]

People love to repeat that but frankly, wolves are animals that are smart and diverse enough that trying to generalize their behavior just doesn't work. Some wolf packs definitely have a clear hierarchy with the biggest wolf couple just bullying everyone else into submission and some definitely don't.

Quite often, they get preferential treatment, which goes against the principle of equality itself. Outside of the West, yes, women still face repression in like say Iran, but that is because frankly everybody in Iran is oppressed, not just women.
