Fan Casting When You Coming Home, Dad?(Business Dad, Business Mom, Business Parent, Workaholic Parent)

Role added by connieblackwood on January 20, 2024

Make Suggestion

Description of When You Coming Home, Dad? (Business Dad, Business Mom, Business Parent, Workaholic Parent):

Basically, this is a story about parents who do honestly love their kids but are Workaholics who yammer away on a cellphone constantly and don't show up to their kid's science fair or soccer game or spelling bee. The child will feel the pain and misery of your (often ridiculously benign) neglect as he looks in the audience and sees you aren't there. It can even unintentionally infer that they don't care about their own children. It usually develops into An Aesop about not busting your hump for the boss man and instead spending time with your family, frequently by Cutting the Electronic Leash.
