The ditzy momma is currently an angry momma. Okay, not really angry but pissed. Okay. Okay. I’m just being OA. Here’s the story.
Let’s go to the Beijing Olympics. Peepz who watched thoroughly as Michael Phelps made history in the world Olympics, you would have observed that every time he won, his mom was shown at the sidelines cheering and basking in the euphoria of his victory. Her two older sisters were also always there watching their li’l bro reaping gold after gold. But someone was missing in action. Do you know who?
Michael’s dad, Fred Phelps.
Where is he? We don’t really know. He could be home watching his son made history or he may be somewhere else doing some other stuff. But this we know, he has been missing a lot.
Michael’s parents divorced when he was 9 and his dad has since remarried. And just as any lame dad would do, he had made a little contact with his son. In the 2004 Olympics, Michael said that his dad didn’t even congratulate him when he made his first Olympic world record. How crude.
Well, it’s okay to divorce or get separated with your partner but you should never ever deprive your own flesh and blood their right to have a father.
But who’s reaping all the goods that come with the golds and the fame of Michael Phelps? Of course his mom, the rightful one. His dad? He reasons out in an interview that he does not want the limelight to veer away from Michael so he would not say anything, but in reality, I think he is just too ashamed of himself and to himself for being a useless biological father.
So there, the reason of my OA-ness today. Haha!
