He has a huge inferiority complex knowing that he doesn’t really have a job or go off and work hard every day in a traditional sense that he obviously associates with manhood or adulthood. It clearly bothers him that he knows there are no real demands for him or his time, there is no skill he has that he is giving to anyone— and so he recites these fake things that he thinks “Working Man/Dad” would say even though it’s so obvious that he would have all the time in the world for his child.So in Alfie's video he says hes ready to become a father because hes sorted out the basement and the paperworkthe thing that scares him most is being too caught up in work and missing his daughter growing up. Ok but what about your child becoming ill? do they think they are above that happening?
In fact, a lot of people would love to say, ‘my job is flexible and I’m so lucky I’ll be able to give all the time needed to my child and can focus on my family’, but he so badly needs his ego soothed and the validation.
If he was such an overworker he wouldn’t have taken ‘paternity leave‘ before his daughter was even born lmao.
