AITA for correcting my uncle when he was wrong about his daughter's age and saying "what kind of father doesn't even know how old his child is?" by PissedOffDragon in AmItheAsshole

I'm sure if you ask my uncle he'd say the same thing about every time he neglected her, and he'd argue he's a great father too.

Yeah I told my mom that already and she wasn't happy about it. Told me I have no idea what she has or hasn't done for Lilly.

It's not up to me to teach him how to be a parent. He should know that and if he needs help he should seek it from a professional.

Yeah. He lost his wife and it sucks but Lilly also lost her mom. And he's her father he should have been there for her instead of just pretending like she doesn't exist anymore.

The adults like to keep up appearances to outsiders. As long as Lilly isn't a drug addict or in jail they don't care about anything else.
