It's not just that movie either. There are so many movies where the dad is portrayed as a bad father because he spends too much time at work, while the mother is a full-time housewife. Bread earners get little respect in movies - especially movies like comedies where you're not supposed to think too deeply about these things. The fact that you're not supposed to think makes it easier for them to use tropes like the dad who doesn't spend enough time with his kids. It's easily explainable to the audience without too much exposition since it's such a well established trope.

Some people just don't understand simple concepts, like bargaining power, or the fact that sometimes #jobs < #people or #goodjobs < #people, etc.

At the worst, I imagine some of them are thinking "he's a white male so surely he wouldn't work that hard unless he wanted to, right?"
