Who was a better father....Jesse or Danny? And post why too....

Wow that's hard .. I voted for Danny because he was just always there for his daughters and cared about them! The only reason why I didn't vote Jesse is because he hasn't been a father as long as Danny has.

I picked Danny because he has more experience.

Jesse obviously loved and cared for his boys, but I don't think he was strict enough.

Im saying Danny, because he was more protective

I would have to agree with some of you saying that Danny was a better father just because he was there for his daughters and he was protective of them too.

Roseanne- theme song lyrics from the last season

If what doesn't kill us is making us stronger,
We're gonna last longer
Than that greatest wall in China
Or that rabbit with the drum

If there's one thing that I've learned
While waiting for my turn,
It's that in each life some rain falls
But you also get some sun

And we'll make out better than okay
Hear what I say
Hey, any day

Hmm...maybe Danny.

Whoa, weird...nobody voted for Jesse yet. Well, I went with Danny because he was more strict with punishments and stuff (and thats not really strict at all to begin with)

Why are some people picking Danny just because he was more stricter than Jesse?
Sorry, I was just wondering.

Danny, he was just a better father, and he was protective too.

Probably because if your parents arent too strict you will wind up being spoiled (even though Michelle was pretty spoiled)
Its not good to be too strict, but its not good to be too easy either, in between is probably the best.

I voted for Danny.

Jesse is very compassionate and loving with his children, but there's one thing that I really don't condone on his parenting: emphasis on his kids' looks. He would sometimes tell them should be proud to have "good" hair. It wasn't a sit-down talk or anything, but it was brought up slightly in various episodes. I just don't like how the Jesse character had his kids into looks. If FH was an on-going show, then I would think Nicky and Alex would be pre-pubecent hair maniacs like his dad. Not a good lesson to learn from emphasis on looks.

:nod:

He was the better father because he was the biological father where as Jesse was their uncle.

Danny :cool:

Id say Danny because he always knows how to handle situations in the best ways and Jesse was irresponsible at times, like when he invited his band over when he shouldve been watching the girls and when he let Michelle walk Comet.

Danny was better than Jesse - but - Jesse was a great uncle and raised the girls just as good as Danny but he was better as uncle than father.

Danny was a good father and i don;t think that the characters appreciated him that well. Sure, he may clean a lot, but hell, that was his house. I remember that one episode where everyone was saying that Danny is too neat and he went on the mountain with the mule and came back trying to be a slob. I mean, my god, the man was only trying to get his family to do their share of chores about the house. Danny was the voice of reason and the sensible father who always knew what to say to help people solve their problems or was always there for them, even if they don't pay him no mind or if they fall flat on their faces to learn that lesson. And everyone says that reasonable person is too hard on them. If anything, Danny was just teaching the family how to live godly lives. Praise God for Danny.

Now Jesse, well, he has a different approach on the fatherhood scene. I would remark that he had no right taking kids out of school: hence, Michelle's preschool day when the teacher punished her and Aaron both for pinching each other, and the day that Nicky and Alex first joined preschool and he dragged them out when the teacher stated that they wouldn;t need him there. Come ON! Jesse was always too easy on the kids and letting them have thir own way. If anything, Nicky and Alex were the spoiled ones. He was just a counteract to Danny's way of parenting.

I agree, Jesse was too easy with kids. Another example: he let his school group run wild in the history museum and they wrecked the dinosaur.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that Jesse was the better father. Hear me out on this.

I understand that Danny was very loving to his kids. I know that he always tried to instill values in them and be patient with them. But in the same token, I feel that sometimes he was a little too hard on the girls. Always pushing them to get out of this world grades, having many high expectations of them. They would come to Jesse to talk to him about stuff they couldn't talk to Danny about...which attests to the fact that Jesse was much more approachable, more laid back in a warm, friendly way.

While I believe that kids do need certain boundaries, I also think that at times Danny had unattainable expectations for his girls, while Jesse struck me as the type to be much more accepting and relaxed if his children weren't perfect all the time.


Keep in mind that I do like both Danny and Jesse, and I think they equally have their pros and cons.

Personally I think Danny had some issues and given that he is a young widower raising his daughters alone contribute to his need to place high expectations on the girls. He seemed out of touch with life. In many ways the character of Danny Tanner rubbed me the wrong way. Jesse seemed much more understanding given his background and past.

I think Danny was the better father on Full House. He was very loving to his children, even though he was a major dork. ;)

JESSE

Danny

I said Danny, he just seeed like more of a fatherly figure.

Danny

Obviously everyone thinks that Jesse was the more cool dad, but I think Danny was the better dad. Just not as high on the coolness scale. Then again if Danny had moves like this he might win: www.ditty-o.com :happyface

They were both good fathers. The only thing I didn't like is that Michelle had Danny wrapped around her little finger and I always felt she acted like more of a brat because of that.

Regarding Jesse just because he's not as much of a disciplinarian as Danny is doesn't make him a bad father. Every person is different when it comes to their kids ;)
