Megan's Dad

Exactly. He wanted to get some "quality" time while the cameras were rolling, but as soon as they stop, he goes home to his "normal" family and "forgets" to show up to their next date. It's clear that megan was looking for some reassurance in regards to what would happen if her mother died when she asked, who would take care of her. The best answer, and the answer she was looking for, would have been for her father to immediately say, "I would, of course!" Instead, there's a long pause, followed by, "well, we all would."
Not good, dad. Fail. Clear douchebag

Yeah, I know someone like him. People like him (well, not every person like him) think that showing up on Christmas and birthdays, and buying a gift every once in a while is enough. They think taking their kid(s) to the movies twice a year or to an amusement part once a year is enough, but don't want to actually parent. They lie to the kid(s), cancel plans last minute without telling them, and basically deal with the kid(s) when it's convenient for them, not taking the child's feelings into consideration. And then they think they are a good parent because they bought the child a $6 toy or ice cream that made them happy.

I wonder if Megan's dad feels guilty for not being more involved in Megan's life when he had the chance.

I think he might be getting a bad rap, and his attitude might be how he was talked about in season 1. Things didn't end well with Megan's parents, and Kris can easily manipulate their daughter. Hence why he didn't acknowledge Kris because she painted him as a dead beat, from what I've seen online he is a bit more engaged then Kris wants America to believe

Watching it a second time (you can watch it for the time being on A&E's website), Megan's dad looked a little hurt when Megan expressed not wanting to end up like her parents. Am I the only one who noticed this?

He certainly came off as a complete tool.

Did anyone notice when they departed from the outing, the look he gave like he was perturbed? It almost sounded like he made a "TSK" sound, but it may have been the traffic. I rewound it several times, and it was hard to tell if it was really him or traffic noise. It wasn't even a "TSK" sound, but I can't think of another word for it. Kind of like when someone says "cheh," like the start of "geez."

His look was definitely there. My guess is there is definitely bad blood between him and Kris, which is news to none of us. Kris' looks when he was hugging and saying goodbye to Megan said it all too. I don't know if the show cut anymore words exchanged. (I imagine Kris chooses not to confront him in front of Megan.) The way they edited the end of the outing seemed like they wanted viewers to pick up on the tension. The dad'd look and possible "cheh" exclamation was strange.

I do think Kris has told the situation quite accurately in season one and now in two. She's been pretty tactful I've thought. That dad thinks doing rare outings with Megan somewhere far from his "real family" makes him a good dad. Yah right, dude.

Agreed. He seems totally uncomfortable with her and he doesn't say he misses her and he doesn't say "I love you too" or anything like that. The look on his face a few times was so cold that it almost seemed like he hates her or something. It was creepy.
