Like father, like son

It’s not necessarily unusual to read or hear it reported that a large number of Japanese fathers have, despite living in the same lodgings, a remote at best relationship with their offspring — long working hours and a culture that largely expects the lady of house to care for the kids apparently by far the biggest factors.

A situation that if true is a sorry state of affairs indeed, although like everything one hears or reads, it might not be entirely true.

Japanese father and son

Maybe.

    I disagree. I think that’s a really sweet scene.
