Dad from hell

Tom Hughes‘ dad Simon lost a lot of credit with me in last week’s episode of The Family. I usually have a lot of issues with other people’s dads because, quite frankly, most of them suck, but I kinda liked Simon in the first couple of epiosdes because he didn’t seem to suck as much as other dads. But then I knew something was wrong with him when I saw him reading the bible before getting out of bed.

Anyway, treating your kid like that in front of one of his friends is about as low as you can get as a parent. I’ve been through it as a kid, as both the son and the friend, and trust me, it’s freakishly embarrassing on both sides. Some people should have a dog instead of kids !
