No, he tried; he paid more attention to Baby than his wife did, and I saw him kind of trying to rub her little hand once, like trying to rub the dirt away, but he seemed to be trying to do it where the fat didn't see him. They have a very complicated situation right now where he is trying to get his own business going so is not home much, and I know she's talked about leaving him, so I think he's trying not to make waves so he can still at least have his daughter at home with him. I'm not making excuses for him, because he certainly could have asked for a wipe and cleaned her up, too, and believe me aside from his pigfucking I still know he's not an ideal father, but he tried harder than she did. (He's also a vet with confirmed kills that he still has nightmares about, so I do tend to make more allowances for someone who sacrificed and fought for our country, I admit.) I think he's just more clueless about babies, like most men who don't get to be as involved as they'd like to be. (And as far as me chasing Baby down and such, he knows I've been offering for over a year to babysit and telling him how I'd love to meet Baby, so I think he was letting me do it so I could get to do it, whereas his wife was doing it because she was a lazyass, if that makes sense? The dad is my friend, knew how happy I was that they were bringing Baby, and wanted me to have fun; his wife barely spoke to me and didn't seem delighted to meet me or anything [typical fat meeting a thin woman] so I don't think she was generously letting me cuddle and play.)
