Charles and Mr. Edwards in “Unfinished Business”

But it all happened so fast. Granted, I worked late every night, and I didn't spend the time with him that I should have.

Oh, now, don't be blaming yourself for working hard. The boy should have understood that. You've got no reason to feel guilt. You know what I think? I think we go about raising kids all wrong. The minute they get old enough to work, then the father ought to just quit and go off and lay in a hammock somewhere! Right? Let the kids take over. The man's done his share.
