There is nothing wrong with being at home parent - if you can afford it, meaning that you either have a spouse who makes a lot of money or you have a business that earns you a lot of money. Not when you're on the welfare and applying for food stamps.
When I die, I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass.

Actually, not to derail the subject too much, but often for welfare recipients, the money they would make working a job comes out to much less than they get with those welfare benefits. It's the reason that the $15/hour minimum wage didn't help many of them.

Had Daniel had a full time "acting" career then those children would have been LONELY and PINING for one or both parents.
Most kids have a home with two workings parents. They wouldn't be alone. Lots of kids have nannys or attend daycare or a latchkey program after school.
Exactly. As a young child, before starting school, since both my parents were either in school or working, I had a nanny or went to day care. Then when I was finally in school, my dad was always there in the morning to make sure I had breakfast and got to school safely before he went to work and my mom was almost always home from work when I got home from school. I never felt neglected, even in those nanny/daycare pre school years cause my parents were still around and I knew they cared about me.
Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end. -

You made some good points that I agree with.
Daniel could have taken his kids out for pizza and bowling or a movie for Chris's birthday. He did not have to have all those animals in the house and yard. He didn't have to invite every kid in the neighborhood either. Most people would be angry to come home to find a bunch of nonhousebroken animals inside and kids jumping all over the furniture.
She should have agreed to go for counseling and let him take the kids after school as long as he cleaned up any mess they made when he was with them and they did their schoolwork. -

A cake and a few gifts is NOT what a kid wants on his birthday
Since when? Apparently you've never heard of birthday presents and birthday cake. You know, that's actually more tradition than any birthday party. -

I thought BOTH Miranda & Daniel were terrible parents.
Yes, they both loved their kids. Yes, Miranda provided materially for them and then some.
But Daniel quitting his jobs left & right was horrid. OK so a cartoon character smokes.
Whoopie do! I grew up watching cartoons from the '70s & '80s, and frequently one would see a character smoking a cigar or even a cigarette sometimes.
Big deal! And this movie was made in 1993 no less!
Daniel had 3 kids & bills to care about. But he'd rather dump it all on Miranda!
And he was clearly more interested in being a friend to his kids than a dad.
He never disciplines them, not until he is dressed as Mrs. Doubtfire.
While I agree that he was fine in getting their son a birthday party (punishing a kid for a bad grade by doing that is over the line), he went WAY over the top.
Letting a petting zoo run loose without even monitoring it?!! No way.
I don't blame Miranda for divorcing Daniel. But she NEVER should have fought for custody, never. That was just petty.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush. -

It's funny. Every feminist and mangina wants to defend her and demonize him. He has to change. He's wrong. He's irresponsible. He can't be himself and be seen as a good father / husband, because everyone has this narrow-minded idea of what a good father or husband is. BUT they never wonder how he feels. They never care about miserable Daniel might feel when Miranda cares more about her fcking career than she cares about him. They want to reverse the roles and make men like women in the 1950s, but where's the security? Where's the trust? Where's the near unconditional love and devotion? Women weren't thrown out of their homes for making silly mistakes. Women didn't even lose custody if they cheated on their husbands.
Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.
