Several don't have dads around, but a few do, and these dads miss all of it. They never can make the games.
I really don't get having kids if you don't want to be there for the things they do.
I understand the odd conflict, but this is pretty constant.

I don't follow the sons vs. daughters thing, either. Is the idea that a daughter doesn't need her father to be as involved? So that when she grows up, she'll only seek out men who prefer to avoid her company or don't want her to expect too much from him?
