[unfilteredjw]

Comment section reeks of privilege.

MC really needed to call dad right back and let the kids see him. You know, to drive the point home.

Why? I mean, if it's about not being home then I guess you can call the mom shitty too. Other than I really don't see the problem.

Who said she isn't shitty, tho?

Another wholesome chapter.
Thank you for the translation!

Damn. Making me cry sitting here in the middle of my job

Me too I’m in my feels. I need this to become an anime

No amount of panels showing the dad with a proud smile will make me appreciate him.

But that's ok, this isn't about him. He's ultimately just a a minor hindrance. The kids are the one who actually matters, and they're all great.

I originally wanted to comment "Still shitty parents", but I realized I don't care about the mother enough to make comment about her.

As for the reason, well, the dad doesn't get to assume and force MC to make decision about his life, if he has never been involved in MC life in the first place!

The closest situation to this that I can think on the spot right now is: A relative whom you've barely seen suddenly appear and tell you how you should live your life.

That is literally the situation, but there are two things that make it worse:
1. That is not MC relative, that is his dad, well step-dad I guess, but my point still stand, him being MC's parent make how he has been acting so much worse.
2. He is not just telling MC how he should live his life, he is actively forcing MC to do something while A. not considering MC's thought and feeling. And B. he still has never been in MC life, so who give him the right to interfere now?

Not just MC, we literally see in this chapter that he has also never been around for HIS OWN CHILDREN.

I also hate that instead of comparing his grades and concentrating on the subjects step-son did worse, he immediately turns it into rat race with boy's peers. "How will you go to a good college and get a well-paid job (that you will prioritize over your kids, you can always get a babysitter for them) if you're not better than 2/3 of other teenagers of your age?" It's not like other kids can't also get better grades, maybe they got similar lecture from their parents, or their home situation got better, so it will be his fault if they also get better grades and won't get overtaken?

Japanese culture in a nutshell
