What people dont realize is that you get better as time passes. Who else get upset because their parents are "soft" on their siblings? Most of the time, grandparents will give your children what they could never give you.
This is true. My dad was not even close to being the best. But as time passed, he got a whole lot better, especially after my nieces and nephews were born.
if there's one thing I'll never do it's get upset that my parents are "soft" on my siblings. they fucked up a lot with me and are trying to make it up but i don't need it. ive told them countless times they need to be better for my siblings and if they really wanted to show me they were sorry they'd give them everything they didn't give me. never understood when older siblings wish their younger siblings went through what they did.
Homer's mother abandon her family after doing illegal things to fight Mr.Burns. So Abe isn't exactly a bad father he was just a broken man who was raising his son alone. He did make up for it by selling his home just so homer can buy a house for his family.
Being a broken man doesn’t change his past as a bad father and selling a home doesn’t mean all the trauma he caused just goes away. Selling his house for homer was a sweet thing tho
He still was bad parents can still do good things every once in awhile. Not to mention 99% of the good stuff he did was when homer was an ADULT which means he completly ruined his childhood. So yea he's a bad father. 😊
Like yea i got abused, SAd, locked in a room for days and beaten nearly to death. Still wouldn't beat/emotionally abuse my kid becuase "but but wahh im brOKeN" 😂
Bro, what in the flibbertigibbety jibber-jabber with an “oh I gotta get outta here or I’ll have another word to sell another story to tell another time piece ringing the bell FUCK are you talking about? Being a bad father does not automatically mean you don’t love your child, though that is a common trend for obvious reasons, it means that you are unable to give your child what they NEED in a father figure.
He's still a horrible father even if he did one good thing. He was a horrible father all his childhood he can't fix it by doing something good later on
Abe has been one of the biggest support for Bart. I think he had more love towards Bart then towards Lisa. He knew then that Bart was confused and yet troublesome, and so then he was always after Bart. Even letting Bart drive at the age of 8. Bart loved Abe soo much too
@@TheBlackReaperKaneki Abe new that he regret how he mistreated Homer, and Homer has the same resentment towards Bart. Homer strangles Bart, Abe Loves Bart, Homer doesn't love Abe, Bart Loves Abe. It a cycle that completes one another, and in the future Homer tries to reconnect with Bart, but never could and always had hiccups.
I see everyone on Abe here but don’t forget when Homer’s mom leaves his dad does everything he can for him and when he has an opportunity at a new life with a singer he throws it away to raise Homer
People are trying to bring up the reason why she left and act like she wasn't a "bad parent", if she wasn't doing all the extra stuff she wouldn't have had to leave, she would have divorced Abe and moved on, but in Homer's life still. Bottom line she should have stayed her ass at home and continue being a homemaker instead of a "political outlaw".
Ok 3 sides of this comment section. One side about how Abe is a bad father, one side about how Abe is a good father, and one side about how he is a bad father but a good grandfather
It is important to remember that Abe may have had been a bad father, but it's also important to remember he was Homer's. Only true parent after his mother did illegal things to fight Mr. Burns and ran away Abe had his flaws but he still did good things for Homer
People can be so many things and do both good and bad. It's so easy to forget the important impressions we leave on others- especially those who mean the most to us.
Abe isn’t a bad father he’s just a broken man but unfortunately in the course of him being sad at life beating him down he brought his son down with him
It breaks my heart that so many people have experienced the super hard parent, soft grandparent. I want you to know that was the love and care your parents wanted to give you but never knew how or thought they could, that’s why they love your babies (their grandchildren) the way they do.
As we grow older we understand abes frustration. Even more. The sacrifices he made the pain he suffered and keeping it to himself so no one would feel like they owed him. Was he a perfect father? No but he made damn sure homer was taken care of when it it ment sacrificing his own dignity.
@thurmanwilliams7961 yet Mona left for hippie activities, abe could have done anything with homer but chose to stay and raise him, abe was not a good dad, but he did his best, better effort then Mona gave
Say what you want about Homer, he is not always Perfect and he has some Fights with Bart but He defenetly a good Father and a loving Person and you can defenetly see how much love he has for its Mother and he does as good as he can to give his Children the same love. His Father is a good Grandpa but he fails to be a good Father and i think even if he and Homer have some conflicts, i think deep down he is proud that Homer became the Father that Grandpa never was 😊
Goku is not a bad father he died for his son and the world two times he was simply not being able to be revived multiple times... Abe is just heart broken after his wife left him... he was just broken...
Goku is a Saiyan and is actually an amazing father considering the way his species typically parents. He encourages Gohan to pursue his academics and wishes the best for him because he knows that's what he wants, even though he doesn't understand it This mf's father seems abusive
Abe was, is, and will always be homer best and most loving parent, homers mom was living la vida loca while abe threw all his dreams away in order to take care of homer

Abe was just harsh onto Homer just like a lot of our dads, to make us understand that life is harsh but you can fight it back to walk past problems and mothers are sweet to us to make us understand that even life is harsh there's always a brighter day to come if you give love and kindness to others
Abe was a good man that did some bad things. He knew what he did after the fact and spent the rest of his life making up for the mess he created. Life’s hard on everyone..
I know continuity is iffy in the Simpson but Abe gave up a chance at love again when he met Rita realising Homer wouldn't survive in Europe at that age. I know it's bad to blame Homer but, he messed up 2 marriages for Abe. Is Abe a bad father? Maybe? Could he be worst definitely. Another thing I'd add is the fact that fathers from Abes time were a lot worse then he is.
Abe isnt even a bad father, he was tough on homer but think about it...what if he wasnt? Where would homer and his idiot self be? Where would homer and his super sensitive child like heart be?
Abe has been as much hurt as homer his entire life, sadly he couldn't break the chain and projected all his suffering on homem, who gladly, could break it
People dont realize.. grandpa used to be a man of war and determination. Grandpa had fought men and monsters during wwii. When the Vietnam war came homor missed out.
Whats even sadder is abe risked his life to try and get those recipes back becuase he finally saw how much it hurt homer

It is important to remember that Abe may have had been a bad father, but it's also important to remember he was Homer's. Only true parent after his mother did illegal things to fight Mr. Burns and ran away
Abe had his flaws but he still did good things for Homer
"Wait how am I going to get home again? Doh'"
- Abe probably after pushing the car off a cliff
Imagine if he threw homer off the cliff cus he reminds him of her💀
He is a good Grandpa because he realized what he did to his son was never deserved...

Thank you
Wait so Abe’s escape from his job working on model airplanes is working on model airplane’s?
being part of the whole process. probably a modelist dream
Abe isn’t a bad father he’s just a broken man but unfortunately in the course of him being sad at life beating him down he brought his son down with him
You try having Homer as a son then call Abe a bad father.
When I watched that episode I actually cried for homer
What episode is it?
Is that why he always eats? "You just tought me food is love" ? Uz he sanded deeply by what he did?
I was thinking this too, i think it's a coping mechanism for him on top of it being what his mom taught him
*At the end, Homer's father did what most mothers does.*
I honestly don't care if he a good or bad dad or anything abe was always my favorite character
I'm sorry homer that you had to deal with him but you have a wife who loves you and you know that😢😔❤️❤️❤️💗💗💖💖💖
It breaks my heart that so many people have experienced the super hard parent, soft grandparent. I want you to know that was the love and care your parents wanted to give you but never knew how or thought they could, that’s why they love your babies (their grandchildren) the way they do.
He literally throw everything😂😂
He more or less kept an abandoned family. Maybe he wasn't the best. But he was there.
Full support to homers dad, sometimes some things need to be taught the hard way.
dawg. when i first saw this episode i thought he was gonna beat his ass with the bottle😭
what season and episode is this
He was taught that food is love from his mother that ran away, that's why he eats so much.
As we grow older we understand abes frustration. Even more. The sacrifices he made the pain he suffered and keeping it to himself so no one would feel like they owed him. Was he a perfect father? No but he made damn sure homer was taken care of when it it ment sacrificing his own dignity.
That almost made me cry.That was actually so sad
I aint gonna lie. After the clothes, I thought he was going to toss Homer down too
i want this to be like an forgetble memory in the future this will remind me of my mother 😢
He’s a bad and a good father
Hommers mother is showing us how mother's care's for us
"you thought me food is too love😊❤" 😢😢😢 it's just so saad😭😭😭😭😭😭
Well in his defens, he just wanted some alone time but homer being homer, he didn't get that.
The amazing thing is how he managed to drive all that way and look unfazed while drinking a bottle of Whiskey
The worst dad in a world but she is the best man in the world ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
they're always good grandparents...
Moana ruined everyone's life
Thats why homer is always hard on bart...
So sad homer just wanted love but his father was not lovely but his the mom was sweet and kind hearted ❤😢
I miss my dad too
Honesty this was one of the best newer Simpson episodes we’ve gotten
Homers relationship with his mum always gets me 😭
Abe deserves to be in that home for taking those recipes and telling Homer his mom was dead when she was not.
Wym Mona ruined the whole family
@@SawYer-fn6cu no Abe did. He lashed out at a child instead of protecting him. He let his own bitterness get in the way.

He works so hard for his family but he's an alcoholic 😭😭 poor Homer
22:02 them being terrified while rob thinking it’s cool
Homer really did have a bad past
He may be a bad father but he trys to be a better granfather
One day Homer will have a cell phone in his stories
Abe was, is, and will always be homer best and most loving parent, homers mom was living la vida loca while abe threw all his dreams away in order to take care of homer
Reminds me of where the crawdads sing
this made me cry not because of the story its because of what the mother said (me and my mom got in a fight)
Working all week to enjoy a family your job makes unenjoyable. Ah yes

No wonder he hate his dad.... but remember, Abraham did not have it easy...he survived WW2.
Unpopular opinion: The newer episodes of The Simpsons are actually really good!
He's a good father
Homer father actually tried not to be mad at the first two lines
Homer made himself get yelled at
As a model builder myself barts dad was going easy on him for doing all that in 3 seconds
This is the same thing I live in my life it's very hard 😢❤
I feel Abe in the model scene, I build models myself and its fr an escape sometimes
Lmao Mfs saying he’s a bad father like his mom didn’t leave him
Man, sometimes I forget that the Simpsons can also be seriously depressing
Homer made annoying fr
Damn ...Homers childhood was very tough.
Abe was a good man that did some bad things. He knew what he did after the fact and spent the rest of his life making up for the mess he created. Life’s hard on everyone..
They should make a episode where he finds the box

You cant deny that he had a good reason to be mad, his son constantly messing up everything hes doing. Id lose my patience too
Is his hobby basically just his job?
That one. How could i love myself if no one loved me. Why would i take care of myself if no one said that i have value.

God I hate how they’ve retconned this show.
Guess Abe deserves the poor treatment off Homer his awful
At least the father didn't throw young Homer off the cliff. 😶
"I just learned that food is love" bro that shit got me...
Was Abe jealous to how Homer and Mona was getting along???
But didn’t throw the bottle
Grampa really had a character arc
