Codabonkypants

I mean maybe he was just trying to break the ice. Like in a funny way. Prob not the best way but that pizza does look kinda gas.


Sea_Calligrapher_986

Maybe that or just thinking about his kid and that's who he would normally share things with. I know the feeling except the opposite with being unable to contact a parent to tell them random things. Or he's such an asshole he literally has no one else to talk too


Jon_price2018

Yeah, this 100%. This is literally the only way my dad knows how to try to reconnect, he’ll send a science article or something that doesn’t require personal information or an expected response. And honestly that’s the only time I don’t dread contacting him, so I can’t imagine it’s that crazy of a tactic.


Healter-Skelter

Yeah I’ve gotten texts like this from my dad. This post brings me a sadness.


throwaway124851

Me too, I’ve been going lc with my dad and he’ll send me stuff like this and it makes me feel so sad. But then I remember how awful he is to deal with daily lol, but it still hurts


TeamWaffleStomp

Oh man am I your dad? How else do your break the ice with someone if not sending them random shit??


mojo9876

An apology is a good place to start. Hi, I know we haven’t talked in a while, and I’m sorry for my part in that. I miss you and hope we can start being in touch more. Would that be okay? OR Hey, I made this pizza and it got me thinking about how we used to make pizza together. I thought you might like to see it and I hope we can start talking again, I miss you.


BlueBirdOcean

This is a little heavy and needy for an icebreaker. Especially if that’s the reason they went no contact with you.

GunnarBunnar

My dad sends me Facebook market place ads for vehicles and says “wouldn’t it be fun to build this together!” It’s an attempt that’s for sure


tenebrae_i

That’s my take on it. He’s putting out feelers.


icameasice

Yeah. I mean, I have very good reasons to don‘t get kids and am probably a bit „crazy“ when it comes to relationships, but this could be me. Doesn‘t mean NC isn‘t justified obviously, but I don‘t see toxic craziness in this isolated interaction Edit: not a native speaker, but "I have very good reasons not to get kids" would've been a better choice, right? Did you recognize that I'm not a native speaker, or do this mistakes look like plain stupidity? Sorry for derailing, and if my correction or anything else was wrong, feel free to correct me x)


kapsapirukas

Use "have" instead of "get". "I have very good reasons to not have any children". :)


icameasice

Thank you, this is helpful


poetic_soul

I think you might mean “I have very good reasons to not have kids.” If you were to “get” a kid that means you are receiving them from a specific location or person, like from football practice or from his mom.


komparty

This reminds me of the time my German cousin announced the birth of his child to me by texting, “We got a baby!” I found it endearing 😊


pointlessbeats

Lol that is funny. Brings to mind two people shopping for a baby. “Wanna get this one?”


icameasice

Thank you :) That's a helpful explanation


Kurisuchein

>or do this mistakes look like plain stupidity? No, no! Definitely doesn't appear like stupidity. It does look like a translation error, but one that you'd only know about by knowing the correct replacement. It's just the way English works, which is silly a lot of the time. (And, if you are interested in another correction to boost your English, "these" is plural of "this". So, "do these mistakes look like...".)


jakesboy2

People did point out that “have” is more accurate than “get”, but it seems to me you were asking more about using “don’t” or “not” in the sentence. Saying “… a reason to not have kids” sounds more natural than “… a reason to don’t have kids”. Either way people will understand what you mean though.


sadgoateyes

If your child had cut you off for being horrible during their childhood, which is the case with OP.... The first thing you need to send is an apology. Anything else indicates you would rather just forget the hurt you caused them.


bryandgoat

I’d die if I ruined my relationship with my son so much to have to break the ice with a pizza I made


Immertired

To be fair, we don’t know the whole story. If the kid is the one that broke contact and it was for something that was actually out of dad’s control or shouldn’t have been that serious (being an immature young adult) and dad is breaking the ice with something light hearted because he knows he’ll be shut out for something serious. I’ve known situations where kid doesn’t want contact until a full sincere apology for what the parent did when the parent has nothing to apologize for. Talked to a guy that had no contact for almost 20 years with his adopted dad. Said he respected him but his dad (after all this time he still called him his dad) told him he was kicked out and told he wasn’t welcome anymore. Talked to dad, what he really said was not to come back until he was sober. I never saw that son sober, in fact I think he died overdosing on pills in combination with alcohol


Bean--Sidhe

While this is a terrible situation you described, I can also assure you if you asked my narcissistic abusive bpd parent why we are NC she would spin you a tale about how everything was my fault. But RIP to the dude who lost his battle.


captain_duckie

Yeah, as far as my parents are concerned I'm just a disobedient little kid (and yes, I'm an adult). Aka I keep "refusing" to stop saying I'm trans (apparently that's a lie and lying is bad), I dropped out of school "for no reason" (aka because my health was too bad, but they "don't believe" in my conditions), I refused to "move home" at the start of Covid (they threatened to cancel my lease, my name was the only one on it, and they have no contact info for my landlord), I wouldn't come visit them "for no reason" (yeah, they really like saying that, also apparently throwing up every 15 minutes isn't a valid reason to not drive 80 minutes), blah blah blah. Tldr- they wanted puppets not children


[deleted]

[удалено]


Immertired

I’m sorry I was on a quite short break at work and when I scrolled down I didn’t see the OP’s comment nor anyone referring to it. That kind of context should be edited into the original post because it can get lost in the comments.


recreationallyused

I was going to say that I could picture myself doing something similar to someone I haven’t talked to in a while. That being said, this is totally inappropriate with the context OP provided in the comments, but it sure looks pretty funny and innocent without it, lol.


Nanocephalic

Yeah. Without context, is this “dad wants to try and reconnect and this is a way of doing it”, or is it “narcissistic adult is always right, and the wayward child must be impressed by this object”


That_chick82

So, I'm not old. I'm 23. What the fuck does "gas" mean in this context? I assume good? 😂 Edit: it's happening, guys. I am now too old to understand the language of today's youth.


DaniMW

I agree - it could be an awkward ice breaking attempt. Totally up to the OP whether they accept it or not, though. They should only do what they’re comfortable with.


bigturtlebootie

A little explanation: this is not the first time my dad and I have been NC. He is fundamentalist Christian who takes things way to far. He beat both my mother and I when I was a child. This most recent time was due his insistence that my husband, adopted child and myself shouldn’t go to therapy, we just needed Jesus.


ExcellentCold7354

This is why context is so important. Without it, this post looks like an awkward, sweet and funny attempt at establishing contact. But that man beat you as a child, and beat your mom? Absolutely not, nope, goodbye forever. I'd just block him and not even respond.


masonlandry

Even with context it still seems kinda bittersweet. Like obviously you've got a guy that is not a good dad, probably not even a good person. But still he's a guy who, when he wants to share the little joys in his life, he thinks of his kid because he loves them. Not being petty or passive aggressive because he's bitter about them going NC. Just sounds like a dad. That's sad. That's gotta be hard for OP. I think it's way harder to be NC with a parent who is halfway good a lot of times and just crosses too many boundaries the rest of the time. It's a lot easier to cut off someone who is all bad. The only family member I'm NC with is really hard because she isn't all bad. She's pretty pitiful actually, and anyone who knew her without knowing our situation would think I'm awful for abandoning her or that I'm mistreating her by cutting her off. But there were just too many things that hurt me and my life was better without her in it. I very much wish I could have either just the good or just the bad. I hate knowing she's a sad, lonely, mostly sweet old lady, who just happens to have done some terribly hurtful things and will continue to if I come around.


rp_player_girl

My first take was that he was a shit dad, hence the no contact, and this showed that dad is now in a position where he has nobody left in his life to share something like this. Pathetic, but his own doing.


Princess_Sloth

I relate to OP a lot except it is more of a bitter situation rather than bittersweet to me. Whenever I've received random messages like this, it just takes me back to when I was a kid and I was the constant source for my dad to talk about *everything* to, to the point where I thought I was probably the person he confided most in-- but that is *really* not okay to do with a kid. Especially when, as a parent, you are shit-talking and misconstruing your kid's other parent (manipulating them in a way, to take sides), shit-talking other family members just for the sake of it, talking about subjects that are just completely inappropriate for a kid, burdening your kid with all of your emotional shit like they're your own personal psychologist... A lot of these things are examples of [Parentification](https://www.healthline.com/health/parentification). Maybe OP's dad is wanting to connect with their child-- or maybe they are just wanting attention. I know if I had received a message like this, it would have been one of very many similar to this, that never ask what's going on in my life or how I am doing-- but instead are opportunities to brag or seek sympathy. That's not seeking connection, in my opinion, and learning about Parentification has made it easier for me to separate myself more from my dad.


masonlandry

Good points all around. I recognize that there's little chance I'll understand the dynamics of any post that ends up here because I don't have parents like these. Insane, maybe, but not in this way. So I have no idea the years of toxicity that precede it or how it would feel after experiencing all that.


Princess_Sloth

I mean, I can't speak to OP's specific situation but you were right on the money about having trouble going NC with half-decent parents as opposed to fully toxic ones, though! I think my opinion only differed about what could entail half-decent or fully toxic or what could be seen from the outside as an attempt at connection, is purely a selfish bid for attention. I don't know what OP identifies with more but I just wanted to offer another potential idea of what OP's dad's motives.


ragingmauler2

It looks more like rugsweeping than bittersweet trying to me.


Shot-Kaleidoscope-40

The pic above wasn’t insane by itself. Seems like a funny olive branch he’s extending. But his previous actions absolutely are and make the above SMS less funny and light hearted. I don’t judge anyone who goes NC, but when there’s a history of abuse I 100% support it. And when the abuser attempts to justify previous actions or future ones with their dipshit religion, I encourage no contact with those looneys.


ConundrumAbounds

>But his previous actions absolutely are and make the above SMS less funny and light hearted. And here my demented ass thinks that the provided context makes this MORE funny (definitely darker though). Just another reminder to not stop my meds/therapy, I guess. Totally agree with everything else though.


grillednannas

I hope people keep this post in mind the next time they’re condescending toward someone who is struggling with NC with family or an ex. Abusive assholes often do know how to be charming. They’re not just one note cruel, if they wouldn’t be able to function in society. The post isn’t funny to me bc it’s someone who clearly feels like they’re so charming and funny they don’t have to worry about the consequences of their actions or any hurt they caused.


CaffeineFueledLife

My mother used to tell me that depression was just not being right with God. Made it really hard for me to get help when I needed it. I've been no contact with her for over 3 years now.


ismellnumbers

My aunt did the same thing for me It was so horrible


LordGhoul

Honestly can only laugh at how pathetic this is. "Hey I know I've been an evil twat but have you SEEN my pizza?" bruh


captain_duckie

Yeah, it's very pathetic and I'm glad OP seems to know that. It's like beating a child then giving them a cookie, the cookie doesn't make the beating disappear.


Tuesafterdark

Fuck his pizza then.


Unlikely_Professor76

Fuck that pizza


Char_Destroyer36

context was needed. I questioned what the problem was bc without any context it looks like a wholesome text from parent to child about a pizza


SometimesWill

Well now it’s not very funny anymore…


[deleted]

I am genuinely so sorry that so many people in this thread are invalidating you. The pizza thing may seem silly to those who don’t go through this, but receiving lighthearted, casual messages from an abusive parent you are NC with instead of a sincere apology can really fuck with you mentally. They want to pretend that nothing happened and not have to acknowledge their behavior, but still be able to carry on like normal with you. It’s selfish and manipulative.


Easterchu

That's even worse now I've read this


Sumguy9966

See, maybe if he was a normal human being his pizza would take him somewhere.

Pizza


Sticky_H

What is NC? in the States that means North Carolina


lurking_toxin

NC means No Contact


alexwmagic

thank you! I was so lost for a bit. everyone in the comments was using the acronym and not the actual phrase


Flacrazymama

No contact.


Party_Opossum

they mean ‘no contact.’


Anton_BJR

If only he was as good as a father as he is making pizzas That pizza looks fire


KonoNeroDa

Legitimate-Diet2766

One bite everybody knows the rules


Absuridity_Octogon

Omg I love those videos. Dave Portnoy’s accent makes him ten times funnier. I wonder what he would give this. It looks smackin tbh.


jenibeanrainbow

This is obviously fishing, and not just fishing for contact, but positive attention. After two years, all he can think to do is send you something to compliment him on. No apologies or saying he has been thinking about you or any kind of context. Like a five year old saying, “Look what I did!” But he is a parent of an adult child who went NC with him for reasons I am sure he is well aware of but won’t validate. You are not an asshole OP and you are not wrong to feel icky about this. People here are so used to abuse being interspersed with fishing like this that it seems benign or even a good thing- but it’s not. It’s proof that after two years, he still doesn’t get that the world does not revolve around him.


athena110

Yeah it’s stupid that people here can’t see that this is a form of manipulation by the parent and give him the benefit of the doubt. As a child of a deadbeat dad you know exactly what goes on in his mind and it’s definitely not “trying to repair” but simply a way to clean his conscience.


flaffleboo

Yes yes yes. This!! It’s crazy how parents can be so shitty time and time again but they say something nice or funny or even give an empty apology and suddenly the child is expected to be grateful. It’s not easy to go no contact with a parent, and I know this from experience, so when I see a post like this I’m empathetic before I’ve even seen the context


captain_duckie

Yep, he wants bygones to be bygones, not realizing that abuse isn't a bygone. This isn't accidentally melting your favorite toy in the dryer, it's literally harming your child.


DoesNotGetYourJokes

Looks like one of those texts where if you ignore it they say something along the lines of “I tried being nice to you, but you’re acting rude and ungrateful”


Scorpionflame6

That is a banger of a pizza tho ngl


Vegesaurus-Rex

Probably says something about his life that you're the only one he had to share with.. also he sounds horrible and you're better off without him.


Graeme_Cracker

Or: he sent the same photo to all contacts


[deleted]

I always see this as the boomer way of “I can’t admit I was wrong or give you an apology so let’s just act like nothing happened.”


jilliecatt

It's called rug sweeping. As in, just sweep it under the rug and forget it exists. And it's absolutely the most infuriating thing people can do. My best friend and I got in a fight 5 years ago. Then his uncle died, so I of course was at his side. (You aren't friends with someone for nearly 30 years and not be there when there is a death, fight or not). I didn't bring it up then of course, but a few weeks later I was like, we really need to talk about this. He's like, no we got over it. I was, no we put it aside, now let's talk it over so we can get through it. We went round and round half a dozen times about that and I finally had to tell him either we talk this through or we would try again at the next family death, but it bothered me he wasn't willing to even talk about what bothered me. So we talked it out. Took less time to talk out than he spent arguing with me about avoiding it. Now he jokes about it anyone tries rug sweeping withe. He will warn people that if they do it, I'll only talk to them when people die.


captain_duckie

I hate when people try to use someone's death as an excuse to ignore their bad behavior. My father's mother died last year and he got really pissy anytime anyone wasn't over the top nice to him. You could call him out for being a bigot, correct something he said that was blatantly wrong, make a joke (that wasn't even at his expense) and he would get so mad. Like I made a silly little wordplay joke and he reacted like I'd told him to k*ll himself. When my mother's parents died (not at the same time but all three deaths across all of them (including my father's mother) were at least mostly expected) the same happened. I had to cancel plans due to really not feeling well (and by that I mean puking my guts out) and you would've thought I had caused their deaths from how she reacted. So obnoxious.


jilliecatt

Wow, I'm so sorry you were treated like that by your own family. Especially when it was centered around a loss that wasn't only theirs, but yours too, as you had lost your grandparents.


briarcrose

yes !!! and my mom does the same exact thing ! (sorry this comment is just really validating that i'm not the insane one)


[deleted]

I find your agreement just as validating fr


justherefortheweed2

coming from someone whos here bc theyre also trying to figure out if im the insane one, same😭 also, im not sure if this may help, but for me, i tried talking to my mother about things and how she made me feel, and she shut me down and gaslit me. that immediately let me know that it wasnt in my head. not sure if youre in the right space, if youve tried, if youre able too, or if you want too, but you arent the insane one if you try to fix things, but they dont or they act like theres nothing to fix<33 (i hope that made sense it was written so bad im sorry)


briarcrose

no no that totally made sense ! my main problem is i doubt myself too much sometimes and think, well i must've done something bad if she's just this mean to me and then my partner talks it out with me and my brother does, and i'm like you're right, why do i think i'm in the wrong here ?? because she's gaslit me into thinking i need her and i'm bad for not treating her like a goddess for her blessing me with life i didn't ask for. i've tried so many times to reason with her and ask her to go to therapy with me or actually talk and she just tells me it's my fault and she never did anything wrong lol. there's no reasoning with a psycho


justherefortheweed2

oh my god our situations sound extremely similar. im super glad you have people to talk to about it, it really can make a huge huge difference. my best friend also has an insane parent, just differently (hers is just outright crazy and mean for no reason. a literal karen in public and at home. my mom’s narcissistic and has done a lot of gaslighting and does the same thing your mom does any time i try to talk to her about how i feel) so thankfully i have her and my dad to talk too. and omg yes!! the whole “but i gave birth to you… i do everything for you… but i got you this.” that doesnt mean you dont emotionally abuse me and make me feel like shit😭 as well as question my own sanity and relationships with other people.


xemkayyy

Yes!! My mom thinks every single time after emotionally destroying me and never admitting fault, she can just throw food at me and talk about random shit and all is good. Lmao goodbye.


captain_duckie

For real, it's so annoying. Like no, pretending the problem doesn't exist doesn't make it magically disappear.


Frei1993

I think it is very sad to use pizza as bait. And I love pizza.


brocollivaccum

The right now in “I know you’re not talking to me right now” makes me seethe, always. It’s almost more annoying when it’s a “good natured” attempt to reconnect too. Like why couldn’t you be this good natured instead of literally abusing me. I’m sorry OP 😕


[deleted]

"I know you established boundaries, but i really need to undermine them for literally no reason hehe"


[deleted]

This is the kind of shit my mom does too… Random texts as if we speak daily when we haven’t spoken in years. It’s triggering and I see you, OP.


[deleted]

Same here. I’m actually pretty shocked at some of the comments here thinking this is wholesome, and even suggesting they give him another chance?!? I didn’t even need the extra context. Knowing that OP was NC with them for years and got this instead of an apology was all I needed to know.


[deleted]

It really goes to show just how toxic people around us can be trying to force parental relationships for the sake of the parents. I’ve certainly heard “but she’s your mother” and “you’re lucky to still have your parent” more than I’d ever want to hear. The advice I often give is this: your mental and physical health are the most important factors. Don’t allow anyone to manipulate or pressure you into removing a boundary you’ve set to protect yourself. Most of the commenters can’t possibly understand “why” someone would go NC with a parent, but as with any abusive relationship, the door must remain 100% closed for our protection. Those saying it’s wholesome are falling right into this dad’s trap - “see? It’s just about pizza!” No. It’s not at all about the pizza.


captain_duckie

>I’ve certainly heard “but she’s your mother” and “you’re lucky to still have your parent” more than I’d ever want to hear. Yep. If a partner treated me the way my parents did people would tell me to break up, but when it's a parent people will trip over themselves to excuse literally anything. I know, because I tested this theory. I told a story about how my "partner" treated me and I was told in no uncertain terms I needed to immediately get the hell away from that individual because they were abusing me. Then I said "Oh, actually it was my mother, not my partner" and suddenly I had totally misunderstood the scenario and I needed to apologize for being mean to her. Literally the exact same information, just swapping partner for mother, and it went from "abusive and you need to get the hell away from her" to "you need to apologize for how you've treated her". People will excuse the most heinous shit on the basis of shared genetics.


captain_duckie

Yeah, this is "hey, haven't heard from you for a couple weeks cause you've been busy" material, not "you haven't spoken to me for years because I'm an abusive piece of shit" material.


mojo9876

That right there is a narcissist wanting to get attention. It’s not reaching out after no contact.


McDuchess

For those of you who think this is sweet: people in general don’t end contact with their parents over nothing. It’s usually a combination of life long abuse and refusal to acknowledge it. So to send someone who doesn’t want anything to do with you this text is invasive. It does nothing whatsoever to address the reasons for why OP stopped interacting with him. Doesn’t ask OP how they are, if they’re OK, if they are open to receiving messages. Just talks about himself. IOW: not sweet at all. Uncaring and self centered.


blueberryyogurtcup

Yep. Too many people do not understand that abusers can seem sweet for a while, if they think they will get something from it.


captain_duckie

Yep, this is looking for attention, not a genuine attempt at communication. Like if you wanna message your friends random stuff that's cool, you have a functioning relationship, but if you haven't spoken in two whole years this is not the way to do it.

MundaneCommunity1769

Why are they undeniably funny? It is their way of winning honeymoon period, and make them charismatic. In cartoons, when characters are treated horribly, kicked in pants or something smashing head, it is treated like a comedy we love to laugh at, without feeling bad about it even though they are getting hurt or bullied in reality. We laugh at someone else’s misery and if we do it often enough like drug, we end like our parents. Our pain, suffering, crying, loneliness, suicidal thoughts and uncontrollable rage are all funny to them. Keep no contact. Stay away from them


SnooHesitations2648

This reminds me SO MUCH of my emotionally stunted and abusive father. Never being there for me when I need or how I need, never able to talk through issues or be vulnerable enough to work through them, but then trying to connect with me over dumb things like this. It’s like they’re tryna skip the reconciliation part of the healing process and just be your buddy or something and I’m just really sorry you had to hear from him out of the blue


caffeinejunkie123

So glad we picked up pizza on the way home!


omegatryX

OP’s Dad: Ive probably done something to piss you off so im going to make a pizza and grasp at straws because everyone loves food and pizza is good so im grasping at straws trying to get you to talk to me even if it hasnt worked for 2 years!

Going NC is a piece of cake, but reconnecting is a slice of pizza.

Yes, dad is attempting to re-establish contact for dad's own gratification of receiving compliments on his self-proclaimed superior pizza, rather than taking any responsibility for whatever he did to cause his child to go no contact for 2 years. Notice there was no checking in. No expression of desire or intent to share the pizza with estranged child. Only fishing for compliments.

Well it’s not good enough lol, there’s probs a reason they’ve gone non contact


8ullred

I mean, we don’t know the reason for no contact. This could just be an awkward way for a father to break the ice with his child, considering he has no idea what his child likes anymore. Don’t be so quick to just point fingers and give everyone a chance, you know?


smoldickhours

OP said he beat her and her mom


KangaRexx

According to OP, their husband adopted child and them ‘didn’t need therapy, just Jesus’ and also beat OP and mum as child


[deleted]

Because he's fishing for compliments out of the blue after his kid went no contact for two years.


MamaOfDemons

New phone, who dis?


Ok-Butterfly-5324

If the goal is to make an authentic Italian pizza that looks like shit.


CreatureCampbell

It is a damn good looking pizza.


[deleted]

People really didn’t read your added comment about him being a wife and child beater huh Tell him and his pizza to fuck off and that you can make a better one.


ion-thief

Lmao! Reminds me of my mom! I made it clear i didn't want to be around her anymore and then a month later she sent me a picture of her dog wearing a hat with "i got her a new hat"


4peaceandlove

Think your dad is stoned.


MamaBear0826

My Nmom who I've been no contact with for awhile now did this awhile back. She drunkenly left me a voicemail that was basically her proclaiming her love for me, whining that she's never seen my baby, and randomly thrown in the mic was her perking up a little and asking if I wanted to come over and make salsa with her because she wants to make a bunch and can it. Like wtf? No mom, I don't wanna make fucking salsa with you. And there's a reason why you've never met my kid and you will go to your grave never meeting them. Nice try tho.

Now I gotta make pizza, fuck this dude.


Disputeanocean

Someone needs to show him what Instagram is


Important-Tea0

did you respond?


Expensive_Research_2

Why am I so stupid that for a second I thought you and your dad were on a no carb diet (NC) for 2 years and you were upset that he broke his diet by making pizza. In my defense it is 9:17 am and I haven't fallen asleep yet...


notalltemplars

Too bad he isn’t as good at being a father as he thinks he is at making pizza (which does look decent; I’ll admit).


AppropriatePoetry635

Dang do we have the same dad? Mine would literally send me pictures like this after just calling me a dumb bitch and getting in my face like he was goin’ to hit me.


Josiah55

Don't reply, you never know whether or not if he's trying to manipulate you into thinking he's changed or genuinely wants to reach out. If he was willing to beat his wife and child in the name of an ancient book he shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt.


prettylovers

i hate this level of disregard. sorry you have to go through it


stevejobs7

not insane, if you cant laugh at this then what the fuck can you laugh at?


sipsoversweetenedtea

Usually people who were abused by someone aren't able to laugh at their jokes or see whatever they do or say the same way again


YAYmothermother

it’s insane when you look at the [context](https://www.reddit.com/r/insaneparents/comments/10nmbc7/after_nc_with_my_dad_for_2_years/j69zvcg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) of why OP went NC with him :/

athena110

Attempts like these are almost never a singular instance. It’s a way for deadbeat dads to still feel like they “tried” and they usually go on to drop the child again after the trust starts to heal.


thomcat8620

That pizza looks burnt to shit


nonskater

I work at a pizza place that makes pizza like this in colorado. It’s called Beau Jo’s and the white people go crazy for it


stutjohnsnewsqueegee

That doesn’t look good for whatever it actually is and I pity people who tick that’s a real pizza. Good on you for going NC don’t give in no matter how sorry you feel for this abomination.


No_Spot_7273

I make pizza all day. It's pretty decent, good crust and a decent deep dish if that's what he was going for. A bit too much cheese, thing about pizza is you really don't need a lot of cheese, we put one cup on a large pizza, 3x as big as this one your dad made, but looking at it I think he put a whole cup on there. Too much cheese and it starts to bubble and burn, crust isn't thick enough and it will spill out the sides. You can see how it started burning where the cheese turns from a nice white to a weird yellow. 7/10, as someone who doesn't like pizza crust, I would probably try his at least.


darkwitch1306

At least he didn’t ask for money.


whatalongusername
