As a kid, I never got to do the normal father and son things like attending a
football game, go fishing, or even hangout with my dad. In the movie Parenthood,
Garry did not have a father figure in his life and it led him to be insecure about
himself and think something was wrong with him. My dad is a truck driver for ADM
and his schedule has been the same since he was in his 30s. He works Monday
through Friday every week, gets home Saturday and then leaves again Sunday night.
He is doing everything he can to provide for our family by working a job that takes
up most of his time. He puts us before himself and always tries to make time for us
when he is home. Like Garry, I know what it is like to not have a father who is
constantly there.

Garry in the movie was going through the stage where he ignored his family
and was never home. Every kid has that stage when they feel distant from their
family and don’t want to be around them. When I was in 14, I felt distant from my
family and was constantly mad at the world about everything. I always thought my
family wasn’t normal and that I didn’t need them. I realized later on that no family is
perfect and you will need your family to make it through your life. Garry realized
that in the movie when Todd was around and had a manly figure in the house. Not
having a father figure can cause problems in households, speaking from experience.
I can relate to Garry quite a bunch by the way he felt and acted at a young age.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my dad and would not change anything about my
youth. He provides for our family like he is supposed to. He tries to be involved in
our personal life much more now. My father is around more often because he is
nearing retirement. I can relate to how Garry felt when Todd was around. Garry was
happy to to have another guy in the house to have fun with, and try and replace
