Its 2016/17 and fathers...

If they're useless, in the way or freaking out, yep.

Yeah, not in real life unless the mother doesn't want him in there for whatever reason.

No, this wasn't typical. It's normal practice for fathers to be present these days, and I was actually surprised that this movie had both of the "fathers" sitting outside like it was 1950. That didn't make sense to me in this day and age and I'm not sure why the writers had that happen.
