Whenever my father wanted to give money to my mother for feeding, he will give it to her through me or my younger brother. When my sister was born, she became his money transfer channel.
One day I asked him why he did that. He said he will grow old one day and he expects us to bear witness that he fed his family and was not a lazy man.
Truly, nobody can say my father was a lazy man who could not feed his family. My siblings and I are living witnesses.

Many people believe their father was irresponsible whereas he paid their school fees, bought them clothes and did everything they now believe their mothers did for them. Fathers usually don't have time for fights so they won't even counter the claim.
But if we want to be reasonable for a second, where did you think your mother got all the money to provide for you and your siblings? Her meagre salary? Most of them were even unemployed.
You will grow into a man and have your own family, but your father would have been dead before you realize that he did not deserve to be seen as an irresponsible man.
These days, 'modern men' give the money directly to their wives in the bedroom. 25 years later, their daughter will tell them to their face that they are deadbeat fathers.
It's going to be hard for fathers who live in Lagos and have to go to work early in the morning and return late at night.
I don't see them putting up a defense that will make any sense to their children.

Let me be more detailed so you can cry more lol
My father will be like, "Hey Ben X count this money, this one is for feeding, count the other one, it is for diesel. Give the feeding money to your mother and go with your brother to buy diesel".
How can anyone say he was deadbeat?

This is why I find it offensive when I see stupid and ignorant takes on Father's Day.
You think your father is irresponsible whereas that man gave his all for you to have a decent education.
