My natural “Manly” instinct is to defend Charlie Sheen and his party hard lifestyle (something about porn stars and alcohol rubs most men the right way) but this man has FIVE children and no matter what the cast of “interesting” people around him say, his behavior has to have a negative impact on his children’s life and that is just selfish. A man going through a midlife crisis is not news but when a man allows that crisis to affect the relationship he has with his children, it is time to pump the brakes and SLOW DOWN.
Men do not have to live for their children BUT we also have a responsibility not to make it difficult for our children to live. Children have a right to live a life where Dad is not the opening story of every news show or the punch line of most jokes. Children are affected by Dad’s behavior….PERIOD. You can try to argue the point but the chances of a child following Dad’s lead are good.
Dad flaunts porn stars – Dad’s daughter will think it is ok to be a porn star.
Dad disrespects Mom – Dad’s son will think it is ok to follow suite.
I am not the social police and no one is perfect but there has to come a point when the pride of a Dad overcomes the urges of an adolescent and that is the real story.
