As often as they are used for props, it is also true (particularly as they get older) that children can be political liabilities who sometimes have to be hidden — in the Alabama air national guard, for example. They can even [quietly] be political enemies. But no matter how much they don't listen or continue to screw up on a public stage, it doesn't mean that a father won't love them.
