Indadferent

When a father, step-father or dad is emotionally indifferent to his children or other family members. Phone conversations remain under 20 seconds and he finds any excuse to not be in the same room as others during social gatherings. He may claim he needs to wax his minivan or mow the lawn in the middle of family Barbeques. If face-to-face interaction is inevitable, he will chug half a Coors Lite and fall asleep halfway into your usual 7 word conversion.

Your mom: Let, me hand the phone to your dad...

You: mom, no...

Your dad (being indadferent): Hi. Well, I gotta get the mail so I'll speak to you next summer when you fly home.
