His family is made up of at least one child nearing or in their teenage years, and a wife (usually [[UglyGuyHotWife much prettier than Dad]]) who spends her time ParentingTheHusband. If he has one or more teenage daughters, at least one will be a BrattyTeenageDaughter or a DaddysGirl; whether they are or not, the dad will be a BoyfriendBlockingDad in regards to the girl(s) -- and quite often [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Amazingly Embarrassing]] to the girls and the boys alike.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/YouMeHer'': Dave struggles with taking care of his young kids more after his wife Carmen starts working part time again, to her annoyance and Dave's embarrassment, causing some friction between them as he's unused to this, having previously been the sole breadwinner.
