What Sucks…The Passive Aggressiveness of the Song “Cat’s In the Cradle”

A melancholy folk song about lost time between a father and a son? Or an epic, play by play account of a dad and his kid passive aggressively blowing each other off over the course of a lifetime?

Take a look at the lyrics and make the call.

In the meantime, if your kid wants you to teach him to throw and catch, do yourself a favor and make time. Kids have memories and as you can see in this song, payback is a bitch.
