Throw in vices like alcohol, drugs and women and it must be hell to reflect on your choices.
Sure they missed all that stuff but let’s not be naive that they would change anything. They were out working. It’s not like they were just not around.

I think it’s funny that you say “even School functions” like that is the important one.
