Apparently you don't get out much. Unfortunately, there are far too many fathers, and mothers, in our society that don't devote as much concern and care for their children as they do their cell phone. You must have been talking about reasonable fathers.

Through church, career, and community service and situations, I am well aware of the existing deficit of loving, caring, reasonable, and responsible fathers.

You're going to give yourself a hernia.

Good thing we're in the good ol' USA, as opposed to Canada, where emergencies are dealt with...uh...immediately.
