So many fathers seem to think that raising a child just means earning money to pay for their upkeep, when it’s actually meant to be so much more than that. They are emotionally absent in their children’s lives and upbringing, leave the mother to do all the actual parenting, and then wonder why their grown children are so distant and disconnected from them as adults. Even though he is physically present, it’s almost like having no dad at all because he is so uninvolved with his kids.
