A deadbeat parent is a parent who is some combination of absent, doesn't financially support their child, doesn't show up for most major events, puts little to no effort into the well being of their child, and overall a pretty bad and/or just uninvolved parent. They don't have to be all of the above, even one or two likely qualifies.
This conversation is not about parents who claim the other parent is keeping them away. It's about whether you would choose on your own not to not everything you could for your own child.
So, would you choose to be? Have you already? Why or why not?
