I love when people say this
Like have you not seen the show?
Do you want your dad to be a failure who fails at everything?
A guy who cares more about other families than his own.
Do you want a dad who gets hiscass kicked in every fight
Do you want a dad who gets his ribs broken even if you poke him in the ribs
Do you want a dad who throws a hissy fit every time something doesn't go his way?
Or dad who:
Cries like a baby?
Chomps on food with his mouth wide open?
Laughs like a hyena at things that aren't funny?
Struts around shirtless to show off his Hollywood Salon Tan?
Bathes once a week?
Fancies himself as a carpenter but can't build even one more room so his kids can have some privacy and space?
Adopts more kids every time one escapes.
Manages to get injured so he can't work, then pouts like a toddler when his wife has to work. Maybe he'd prefer the kids starve?
Preaches "Cash on the barrel" yet has a running debt at the mercantile. Also storms out of same mercantile within dats of his arrival in town when the proprietor refused his demand to extend him credit on a number of expensive farm implements.
Well, you have to admit, having him as a dad wouldn't be ALL bad. You could:
Lie with no consequences.
Shoplift with no consequences.
Get a girl pregnant and he'd believe you when you say you're not the father.
Commit arson and murder and not even get yelled at.
Steal morphine from the doctor's office just to feed your addiction and not get reprimanded.
Assault a teacher in school with nary a consequence.
Charles wasn't all that bad as a father when you examine the evidence....
