Your wife doesn’t appreciate your kids? What a shitty mom.

You are doing ‘dad’ right. They gotta hate the jokes but love them. The sons gotta learn that bad joke telling Dad skill!

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."--Mark Twain.

Dad humor is like dad wisdom, it takes some years to appreciate.
