Roger doesn't have much warmth to give him, he manages on occasion, but he also ignores him repeatedly off and ON screen. I still think ol' Rog needs me in his life!
The sad thing is I think I could be a better parent to David than Roger is and that's pretty scary (me + small children=them running in the opposite direction). You watch this and you just know that David is headed straight for addiction problems or at the very least very expensive therapy.
Why they didn't enroll him in a private day school is beyond me. Vicki clearly isn't teaching him and his next tutor is no teacher either. Yeah, yeah, I know that to be a governess you don't have to be, but she was a frigging waitress for godsakes. You would think that the state of Maine would have home schooled children taking some kind of competency exam, wouldn't you?
Every so often Roger makes a half-hearted try at being a parent, but his timing usually stinks and I often get the feeling that he just doesn't know what the hell he's doing . . .
