It sounds like he does, but it also sounds like you are a very
lucky little boy. Some people cannot tell if their Dads love them, but your dad works very hard, and very long hours to show you and your other step brothers and sisters that he loves them and is going to work THAT hard to do what he has to do. I think if it were easy to get a higher paying job then
he would, but sometimes there are reasons why not. You miss him, but think of every hour that he is away working as a
hug Just for you.

Well sweetie, my husband is a welder. He makes $15.40 an hour on third shift which the hours are from 6 pm to 7 am. And he has a two hour drive one way. He gets home and sleeps four hours before he gets up and plays with his kids and eats supper before going to work again. He works 7 days a week.
It's the life he chose. He went to school to learn how to be a welder by trade, he is earning his journey man's card. I think your dad is making great money considering my husband makes less.
A man will do what he has to do to raise his family and pay his bills. (as will a woman) and maybe he's not being compensated enough for his hard labor but that's life. And you can't just quit because you don't think you make enough money. Try finding a place that WILL pay you what you deserve. You won't find one.

That is really sweet to hear how much you care about your dad. unfortunately it may not be as easy as just telling him to quit and work where he will get paid more. I bet he has even considered that. Being a parent is hard and I know finances can get tight at times. What you could do is research online, in your local papers and etc. for jobs that he may be qualified for and clip/copy them out and give them to your dad to let him know that you think he is worth a lot more than what he is getting paid. I think he will be very touched and then he can make the decision to contact other employers if he wants.

Let me ask you this...
Would you leave your father for a rich father that you detest?
You fathers life have been centered around change and once he gets settled in the stability is ripped from underneath him. Maybe he wants to keep his job, because that one of the only decisions he has and will ever get to make.

tell him to try to get a better paying job if it's available. He has a lot of payments to make or go to jail as a dead beat dad. tell him how much you appreciate all his love .
