I would like some proof that he actually does react badly to having to take some of his own medicine. Is there a clear account of that incident anywhere?

Look at some of these other comments though. Waaaay over the top.

Only an insane man would write on a person's shoes at their :gasp: wedding. Others suggesting he viciously and with sadistic glee ground the kids' faces into a plate of butter like it was broken glass or something. Someone else suggested my father was abusive because he liked to wrestle and rough us up. I just think the whole thing is being over dramatized and being made into something it's not.

Hopefully this sort of talk stays here and does not become a party talking point. The dog and the haircut are one thing, calling him a child abuser for playing with his kids makes us look ridiculous.
