deadbeat dad

A man who doesn't pay child support and also disrespects his baby mama in front of the children and disregards her feelings. A man who believes that having a job means that any form of child care is not his job. And who gets 'overwhelmed' by taking care of his children for a few hours but doesn't understand that the mother takes care of them night and day with no breaks.
Mom: can you please help me by giving me a break?
deadbeat dad: give YOU a break? I work all day. All you do is sit on your ass at home and watch kids. Sounds easy to me.

Deadbeat dad: this kids are driving me crazy. I'm so tired.

Deadbeat Dog Dad

Like any other breakup, separation or divorce, dogs are just as sensitive as the children and can be quite affected by this ending of a relationship. They will never understand and you can never explain what has happened and what will happen. If you’re lucky, the “Dog Dad” still wants to be a loving and financially supporting person in their lives, but many times this does not happen and this is what is called a “Deadbeat Dog Dad.”

A “Deadbeat Dog Dad” is a dad that willingly, carelessly, distastefully and hurtfully neglects any emotional stability, housing, healthcare and overall financial support for the animals that he was a partner in bringing into a once loving home. For many men, it’s “out of sight, out of mind!”

A “Deadbeat Dog Dad” is also a person that gives up on his dog for no good reason and gives his dog away, drops his dog at the shelter or dumps his dog on the street when he no longer wants “that” responsibility.

They have their own internal clocks and continue to mope and wait as the days go by, with nothing that can be done to make them feel better, or make them understand.

Eventually, your doggy may give up on the hope of his or her daddy coming home, but this doesn't mean that he will ever be forgotten.

With all of this occurring, it is a heartless situation for the dog, because once that person is gone, those habits, routines and rituals that were once dear to their hearts, can never be emotionally satisfied or replicated.
"Deadbeat Dog Dad"

Having the love of an animal companion has such unlimited rewards and it is a privilege, an honor and it comes with great responsibility. Dogs are so trusting and look up to us for what they need to live, thrive and survive. There should be a law that prohibits these men from shirking this responsibility, this escape of obligation and love. At first glance it may be difficult for others to understand, but for the dog, this loss is as emotionally devastating as a child’s loss of his father.

When a car pulls up, when the garage door opens, when a car door shuts, when the alarm is set, when a gate is opened and closed, when the front door is opened, they expect to see their “Dog Dad” and when it’s not him, your doggy may retreat back into depression. Dogs are quite prone to routines and rituals and, as you know, when you leave the house for a few hours, or even go on a vacation, your sitter often tells you that they were not able to eat, were sad, got depressed and seemed lost; but, it’s even worse when the day comes when that daddy your dogs love so much just doesn't come home anymore.

Deadhead

Deadheads are the large group of devoted fans of the Grateful Dead. Mainly Hippies the Deadheads have created a counterculture that exists at any Grateful Dead or Dead related (e.i. Ratdog) concert. Many followed the Dead on there nationwide tours trying to get tickets to all the shows. The Grateful Dead concert scene is thriving because of the Deadheads who can still have fun even f they do not score a "Miracle ticket" or a free concert ticket handed to you by a stranger. They feel the Grateful Dead concert is a freeing, awe-inspiring experience. Many Deadheads recreationally use marijuana and LSD especially during the concerts though this is not the case for all Deadheads. Many types of people are Deadheads, even some politicians such as Bill Clinton have called themselves Deadheads. Deadheads generally don tie-dyed clothes, the trade mark birkenstock sandals, and many have dreadlocks. They are laid-back and fun-loving, as well as non-judging and accepting of all types of people. The Deadhead scene has sadly shrunken is size with the death of Jerry Garcia an icon of their peace-loving counterculture.
