Generation Gap?
Lawrence was incorrigible today. He says he was a bystander in his son’s upbringing, preferring to leave the child-rearing to his wife. He says this is because the purpose of parenthood (for the man) is to ‘grease the road to a little tail’ by giving the woman what she wants: children.He chose to accomplish this by adding only sperm and money into the equation – he feels that this money is his gift of time to the child. Time = Work = Money. His argument is that his wife gave of her time by actually raising ‘the boy’ and so it’s pretty much even, and that he does not owe her a debt of gratitude for raising this little citizen into adulthood with little to no collaboration.
Fascinating…

Fascinating? More like moronic. If he's being truthful about the upbringing of his child, that he had no active or willing participation, then that child likely has few warm memories of his father. But that's good, because he doesn't really deserve any. The mother deserves the accolades. It's too bad the mother had to receive seed from such a genetic wasteland though.
I'm glad my father was active in my upbringing. I have warm memories of ski trips, trips to Blue Jay games, trips to Maple Leaf games, he came to ALL my soccer and little league and hockey games as a child. Family was first with my Dad, and he was still successful in his work. I was never wanting as a child (perhaps even spoiled, both in terms of love and finances.)
I'm certainly glad I had a father like my own and not a fucknut like Lawrence.
The guy isn't fascinating and he's certainly NOT a window into fatherhood or the men in general. I hope you're not looking at him in that light.
And feel free to relay this opinion to him, because he needs to feel as worthless as he obviously was to all those around him - wife and child.
Am I being harsh? Not really, what worth was the guy to his wife or children? A walking, talking penis, and probably not even a very good one at that, given the evidence of his narcissistic behaviour.
I think fatherhood can be very rewarding and it's very sad that he wasn't part of that. I'm sure he will regret it at some point...and sooner rather than later.
Wow. Interesting indeed.
I'm betting that knock-em-up Larry didn't have a close relationship with his Dad. I don't think it's generational - people learn from experience and example. I just hope that Lawrence's offspring had a decent male role model somewhere!
