So let’s see, the person who nurtured Jack, who believed in him, who helped him understand what he was and to use his powers, the person who clothed, nurtured and fed him (because Dean at the time wasn’t interested in anything other than killing him), the person that panicked when Jack disappeared and did everything in his power to get him (and his mom) back, the one who Jack came to when Sam prayed for help, the one that tried to save Jack from his biological father and almost was killed in the process, the one everyone deferred to regarding whether they could take Jack hunting or not, the only guy to know Jack’s date of birth in the hospital. That’s the guy you’re saying hasn’t “earned” the title of dad?

Castiel, I’m going to give some credit to, he championed Jack when he was in the womb and defied Sam and Dean to do so, but what has he actually done for Jack in terms of active parenting since then? You know I love Dean, but no, a one day fun trip out and a hunt does not an active parent make, though he’s making up for it, and that was the point of the last two episodes. TO BRING HIM TO THE SAME POINT SAM ALREADY IS.

I know I’ve been somewhat triggered by this, but if that post doesn’t sum up parenthood, I don’t know what does. The active parent does everything and gets zero credit for it.

Growls aggressively and cleans my dash.
