And, the problem is “dumping behavior” of any sort. Just because things are not as you would like them, doesn’t mean you should dump on others. It is not how a family should work. The dad needs to fix this with a real talk to both of the girls. But, that really should have been happening all along since they were toddlers.
I always enjoyed coming home, after a grueling day at work to the shrill complaint of " Do you know what your daughter/son ( sometimes both ) did today ???"
Besides, “she’s not really my mother.” Which is why Greg needs to man up and set the girls straight. Men still do this all the time and then wonder why the new wife is exhausted and unhappy. In blended families — when the going gets tough, Dad is very often gone.
@comicsssfan. In the movie the protagonist,Alex,is given behaviour modification similar to the ones you describedTo eliminate his anti-social tendencies.Perhaps these could be used on certain go-comic commenters as well.What do you think?

It’s always easier to dump on Mom. It goes with the job description.

My reply, usually was " Do I want to ? "

I didn’t realize what a thin line there is between comic strip and soap opera.

True… Dad is safe and sound in his office at work.

On a totally different note, I like the way Lynn changed the daughter’s eyes in the last frame to make her look more sensitive.

@comicssssfan. You’re last post is eerily reminiscent of the movie Clock work orange.
