Cripes .... I had one like that too .... Dad would drop the kid off when I opened and dad was in his jeans so you knew he wasnt going to work and he would give me all the updates on the progress of his deck or what ever the current project was .... Couldn't even spend half an hour having breakfast with his kid and handed me his breakfast in a ziplock .... The kicker?!?!? ...... He alway took his week off the week before I took my holidays .... So he had a nice week alone and mom and the kid took the next two weeks off separately and he went back to work. ..... Great family dynamics !
