    But with proper writing, it would make sense to have. To completely rid of it is stupid. Maybe “overly romanticizing the neglectful dad trope,” I could agree with.

      I think you are now talking about the definition of a trope. Look, as a plot line, what you wrote is doable. But tropes are by definition simplified. That is the problem.
