It's the idea that a kid reading this when it came out is the one responsible for a good relationship with a father.<BR/>This guy seems like a stern, inflexible taskmaster with alcoholic tendencies and not above belting a mouthy wife when she gets out of line, but preaching to the kids they should "Have fun with Pop!" seems some sort of cruel joke, here.Belvoirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18434724232693713684noreply@blogger.com
