Bill Maher says Father’s Day should be a time for dads to rethink how they raise their children.

Father’s Day should be a time to rethink parenting so your kids aren’t running the show at home. Bill Maher!

The ‘Real Time’ host has gotten into the whole ‘gentle parenting’ movement, where parents treat their children like well-thinking adults. It turns out that leading cattle to children causes great harm to the children their parents think they are raising. Bill points out that the average high school student has the same level of anxiety as a psychotic patient in the early 1950s. He said so.

Mr. Maher insists that the OG traditional dad, or traditional dad, is the answer. Go back to treating children as they are. These are little people who are non-judgmental and need training and preparation for real life.

In other words, get a tough dad. When your kids ask you why you should do something, answer “Because I said so.” This is a legitimate answer.

If the goal is to raise children so that they can function and even excel when released into the wild, then gently nurturing dads have empirically failed miserably. So step up!!!
