LaDaSa woman upset that "Daddy's Homecoming" primary song doesn't mention mothers

PORTLAND - A LaDaSa feminist from Portland is upset that the primary song Daddy's Homecoming doesn't mention mothers. The song, colloquially known as "I'm so glad when daddy comes home", has caused this sister some heartburn. We sat down with Allison Davis-Holmes-Davis, author of Families with Low Self-Esteem, to get the whole story. Our interview is below:



Astute Doofus: Thanks for joining us Allison. Please share with us why you think the primary song is such a problem.

Allison Davis-Holmes-Davis: Thank you Astute, it's nice to be here. My issue with the song is the total exclusion of the mother. The song is strictly about the father. But who has been watching the kids all day, assuming the mother doesn't have a rewarding full-time career? Who has been keeping the home warm and inviting? Bottom line, this song is anachronistic and needs to be replaced.

Doofus: You realize this song is about fathers, right?

ADHD: So? What's your point? It reminds me of the video the LaDaSa church put out a while back that was about fathers. The only time the mother shows up in that one is to feed the kids and put them down for naps. Really? Are we supposed to believe the mother does nothing else? Give me a break.

Doofus: Again, the video was about fathers, right? Isn't this like a man watching that trashy Girls show on HBO and complaining that it's all about, ahem, girls?

ADHD: Totally different situation. Guys are actually in that show. Girls are nowhere to be found the daddy song and father video.

Doofus: Alright, let's move on. Have you seen the new church video, made exclusively for women? That should scratch the itch, no?

ADHD: Think again. This was a poor attempt by the church to placate the feminists. Sure, those women are brave but are we really supposed to believe that they need to get gussied up and put on make up in order to face the world? Admit it, if this video were about a man he'd be putting on armor. And Esther still had to go see a man to get what she wanted!

Doofus: OK then, on that note let's wrap up. Gloria, thank you again for joining us today. We look forward to speaking with you in the future.

ADHD: Thank you Mr. Doofus. I've enjoyed our chat.
