(cheep s/b cheap)

Wickedly witty--priceless punchline. Delightful dialog. Snide 'n' snarky--My favorite piece of advice is #7 (sugg: flag for sexual content to get more readers!)

I can't tell if this was sad or funny. Maybe a little bit of both. I love the "confessions to my therapist" that couples with rule number 4, at least his father didn't have to pay for the adult therapist. Thank you for sharing!

Just love this, but anyone who drunk as much as you're dad presumably did, would have had to write down, after much thought, and then at a more propitious time, memorise it. But be that as it may. This was rather brilliant, and a pleasure to read, excellent points, I guess church was never mentioned, well done, blessings Roy

So funny...and so honest. Loved it from beginning to end and had to chuckle out loud several times. The text abbreviation lmao comes to mind. I'm a woman, but I had several moments with my dad that are kind of similar. Nicely done, thank you.

Too funny! I'm of the female persuasion...but I always had a sneak suspicion there was a secret list you men shared, probably needing a testosterone laden secret decoder ring--to ensure the survival of the male species as ostensibly superior! (LOL)

Little did you know we female sort who gave BRTH to all you males had you all pegged and figured out way before your "Let me tell you son"--Fred Flintstone philosophy!

Our secret is we LET you believe anything you want as long as you take out the trash, remove spiders and/or mice from or domicile, --and pick up on our much too obvious hints that our birthday or anniversary is TOMORROW!

I laughed out loud!

I love how this subversive list of advice is so 'politically incorrect'. It is skillfully written in an engaging tone, and I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek humour of it but I also sincerely hope no father these days would advise his son to be this unkind, devious, and irresponsible. I think my ex-husband got advice from your father. Maybe he was your father's son also, haha. Your dad should've used a condom with that easy woman.

This is hilarious. I think it should have been humor fiction. A child who grew up with the daddy probably would need a therapist. However I've met a few guys capable of dispensing this kind of advice, particularly if they'd had a few beer too many. Thanks for chuckles.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is just great writing. I absolutely loved it. One minute I laughed and in the next minute, I wanted to cry. If this is authentic, then I'm so very sorry, but if it is pure fiction I'm even more sorry. So many children could be in that horrible situation. Ulla:)))

"Save half of what you spend"? Didn't you mean "Spend half of what you save" or did you write it that on purpose to show that the father really doesn't know what he's talking about?
