The next logical step from that stick figure Happy Family sticker, clearly.

I expect that jeep is driven by a dad. Who occasionally finds himself in that predicament.

MRA stick family is worst stick family.
If we’re going by traditional naval gazing ratings pertinent to this Age of Fail, then I’m confident the MGTOWs can plumb the depths of fourth and even fifth rate subreddits.

Maybe a Xtianist MRA? The men of Gilead know how to … cut out that defiant behaviour from their chattel.

I am very sad for the child (children) of this failed relationship.
No matter the balance of blame assigned to the parents, the kid(s) is(are) bearing the consequence

Wasn’t he Elrond’s dad?

Women drive Jeeps, too. I’m curious at to why some are assuming a man drives this oddly decorated one. Gilead is where Roland the Gunslinger was born.

No, Elrond’s dad was Ermahgerd the Mariner.

That sounds likely, in which case the message is meant for the child to see on pick-up days. Offers an excuse (true or false) for no pick-up (gets dad off the hook) and shows mom in a bad light. That’s the most lop-sided example of passive-AGGRESSIVE behavior I’ve ever seen.
Kid: “Dad. This thing on your car…”
Dad: “Oh that. I’ve been meaning to remove it… but your mother…”
Yep. And the ignominy of being seen in that car.

If that Jeep belonged to the mother, then – considering the “totality” of the decal – the kid would do well to keep his bedroom door locked when staying with mom. That said, I see a dad owning that jeep.

I have two nephews who have been turned into pawns of this sort, in a divorce situation like this one. The father is my brother in that case, so its pretty easy for me to see his side of things.
I find it telling that every single comment Ive yet seen in this thread, assumes that the dad is in the wrong. Because… reasons. We wouldnt want to punch downwards, right? Only “up”.
The group mind call out culture that insists its always going to be a man’s fault, if children are involved and a woman disagrees, to my mind this is exactly what George Orwell was talking about in Animal Farm. 2 legs bad. 4 legs good. Only in this instance its chromosomes instead of legs that matter.
Having been one of these children myself. I would never argue its #notallmen . Rather, it’s #notallchildren. Not all divorced children are better parented by their divorced mothers than by their divorced fathers.
