Happy Father's Day, Don Draper

As a special treat for Father's Day, Vulture has given us The Mad Men Guide to Being a Father. It includes this little gem (spoiler alert):

Do leave the back door to your apartment unlocked at all times. That way if a random woman who calls herself Grandma Ida shows up, she can just walk right in while your kids are alone and unsupervised, then make a nice plate of scrambled eggs before she steals a bunch of your stuff. Remember: A nutritious breakfast is important for young bodies, even when it’s served late at night by a home invader.

A father like Don, however, begets a daughter like Sally, who most definitely has some issues of her own. Like what, you ask? Well, let's ask a qualified mental health professional. Actually. This guy is a real psychiatrist who spends his spare time analyzing the problems of television characters. But what the hell, why not? At least it's not fanfiction.
