A doddering old fool
He is getting old now and his wife thinks he is a doddering old fool. He is not as important as he used to be when he was the breadwinner of the family but his children still feels that he is a nice presence to be around although they do not go about saying it. He has always been there when they came home from school, when the lights go out and bogey men and all kinds of scary creatures come to play tricks on their minds, or when it is raining hard and the skies seem unruly and upset and goes about throwing lightning with thunderous roars that sounded like drunken giants were carousing in the skies.
He has always been easy-going and seldom raised his voice. He liked to talk to them when there was a lesson that needed to be learned. He never berated or called them stupid or hit them with a belt. His way was to open their minds and to show them how mistakes always happen and that the best thing was to learn from those mistakes. Covering up and lying about mistakes was worse than the original offense and he always told them that he loved them and would always take their side in any situation. All they needed to do was to try and learn. To rise after every fall and not to think too much about it
He is getting old now and sometimes he finds it hard to keep his balance. This comes from being cooped up and not being able to do the things that he wants to do. I gues you could call him one of the useless people who earns nothing, a kind of a burden to his family.
