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.

2. I went to my kid's preschool show yesterday. Lots of silly songs and costumes, and they were all so cute. And a bunch of parents didn't show, and consistently don't show for this kind of stuff.
My son was thrilled that I was there, and while hearing their rendition of "the Lion Sleeps Tonight" won't change my musical world, it beat the hell out of reviewing documents or talking to you people all day.
One reason I took the job at my firm was the number of partners I met who went to every one of their kids' games and events.
