He probably wanted to whack you!

He was connected. I was always looking over my shoulder. I actually worked for him for awhile

If he’s a good father, that’s the most important thing. I’ve dated girls that didn’t have a father that was really caring about them, very needy. My wife had a typical Italian father, he didn’t show a lot of emotion, he had 3 daughters, but I was always uneasy around him. He always made it clear that consequences were inevitable if I didn’t treat his daughter right. Being a dyed in the wool, % Italian I understood.

I would’ve loved for my daughters to have had a dad with his mentality about fatherhood. My youngest daughter played soccer for 5-6 years, three of those years on two teams at the same time. Her dad went to ONE game in those years and bitched the whole time. He never went to any parent-teacher conferences in her life. Didn’t go to either of her graduation parties. He fooled me from day one about what a good dad he was. Oh well, water under the bridge.

It’s always Florida

But not the woman with a husband and all the boyfriends! Ohio!

I’ll bet when he said have my daughter home by a certain time she was there five minutes early at least.

With every button rebuttoned and all zippers zipped! Lol.

I you not, we were in our mid twenties, I would pull up to drop her off, and we’d be talking for a while, he’d start flashing the front light to get her in an me gone! Unbelievable.

His loss

I agree. I used to tell him that he was missing out on the amazing person she is.

Can’t ever make up that time or bonding. Forgive me, but he sounds like a doosh bag.

Question is, was she worth it in the end?

Oh yeah. The stories I could tell. I don’t even tell her. Lol.

Some people just don’t get it. There’s nothing he was doing that was worth missing time with his kid.

40 years later, I’d have to say yes. Only women I both loved and feared at the same time. Fantastic mother, great cook and sammich maker. But dangerous.

I know the feeling from my own parents. I was basically feral.

You too!?

Nothing is worth missing that time. I was an angry driver when my kid was a toddler, he was asleep when I got home. I bought more junk on my routes to bring home in my cooler for him! I woke him up many times.

 

[UnionStrong]

You too!?

Yes.

He also missed out on your awesome cans!
