Agree with all the comments, save for....at least the dad took his kids fishing. Which is more than I can say for some "dads".
And not sticking up for this guy, but I know some well intentioned and actually "involved" dads that couldn't put a worm on a hook if they tried. My brother in law comes to mind.
Cept if he has too many beers, the stink eye from my wife's sister (his wife) straightens him right up!
