He spent a LOT LESS time than he'd made it sound. To hear him say it, he was an involved dad and successful dog trainer. He always pushed responsibilities to other people- and raising people and dogs counted among those responsibilities.
To hear vpw say it, he was the first minister to take his whole family on a missionary tour of India. Among the falsehoods in that statement was him taking "his whole family" (his words, not mine.) His youngest son, JP, stayed behind with grandparents for the SEVERAL MONTHS of the trip. In general, he spent LITTLE time actually raising his kids, but was fine taking all the credit for someone else's work. Then again, how can this be a surprise with such a serial plagiarist and conman?
