5 Worst TV Dads
bad tv dads

This past week, we celebrated fathers all around the world for being our saviors, superheroes and our closest friends. Dads deserve a celebration for everything that they do for us, but not all dads are the same. Some of us get stuck with ones who are not the best fit for the role. Luckily, TV has introduced us to some of these poor paternal figures to make us feel grateful for our fathers.

Here is a run-down of the worst TV dads:

Stannis Baratheon, "Game of Thrones"

Finding good paternal figures in Game of Thrones is a challenge in itself, but Stannis Baratheon takes the title. He burned his only daughter alive for a chance at becoming king. That is some parenting.

Don Draper, "Mad Men"

His GOOD looks were no compensation for the fact that not only was he a cheating husband, but also an absent father who abandoned his children for his desires. He didn’t know how to interact with them, and did not take any opportunity to show an interest in his own children.

Conrad Grayson, "Revenge"

Evil to say the least, Conrad is the epitome of a selfish man who put the lives of other people at disposal for his profit, including his wife and children. He single-handedly was responsible for a fatal plane crash that killed hundreds, later framed his wife’s lover, and taught his children that money and power always came first.

Dan Scott, "One Tree Hill"

To be honest, there is not much you can expect from a person who murdered his own brother. He made two women pregnant, abandoned the mother of his first child to raise the second child who ended up hating him too.

Peter Griffin, "Family Guy"

Sorry to all the Family Guy fans, but this man is no family guy. When he is not causing destruction with Quahog, he is at home farting on Meg’s face and calling her ugly, ignoring Chris’s attempts at trying to bond with him, and not even acknowledging Stewie.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
