No. That's been the philosophy of parents for the past, what, 60 years?
Dad doesn't do shit for his kids, does nothing but work for green paper, to an extent that nobody asked him to do. Kids are a spiritual wasteland on the inside but at least they had all the latest shiny gadgets.
Everybody pats mom on the back for cranking out kids but then when it comes to raising them? Nobody gives a shit. Feed them sugar for breakfast, send them off to brainwashing school, let them wander around the neighborhood doing who knows what at night. Remember, don't be judgmental and criticize her! Mom knows best!
Fathers that long ago worked maybe 50 hrs a week and had weekends off for the family. The father was also the one the kids feared especially boys because he'd come home tired, get the rundown from mom and gave out the punishment either a spanking, loss of allowance, bike, or grounding. WIthout the internet a grounding sucked since it meant staying along bored in your room and no friends or others. A spanking made you remember how you fucked up so bad and not to do it again. That is when a father was allowed to be a father. Now the faggots in welfare won't let you raise your kids right even. So the ideas fathers were not home was not the norm. The ones that were not were likely fathers of the hippies that ran free and were entitled but became lowlives as a form of rebellion.
