I better drive everywhere then, so I can be a better parent. By the way, I haven't wrecked on a bike for ages. And I don't expect to be Lance... I expect to be an employee in my office, pressing my fingers on a keyboard. That being said, what happens when my health takes a turn for the worse? I can't wait to show my son how daddy drives everywhere and sits at work all day... would be such a role model. Way to go with the "Lance" call. Is that because I race bikes? That's fun. Are you allowed to do things like that with children growing up in the household? I guess I'm going to be a bad father.

As far as your solo behavior, your kid doesn't want you to be Lance, your kid wants your time, wants you alive, wants you to be an active participant in their growing up. Your choice is to be an engaged father or an absentee father. No sympathy here, I think you have to consider that you might be the real "a**hole" in your story.
