I think expecting Goku and Gohan to make amends before Gohan asks for Piccolo's outfit, Goku gives Cell a Senzu, and Piccolo calls out Goku for being a shitty father is putting the cart before the horse.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Seems fair, but considering Gohan's issue with his dad is constantly abandoning his family (which includes death), Goku dying again isn't gonna make things better.
And remember that Goku decides to come back just to fight in a tournament. He could have used it for anything (including Goten's birth) but chose that instead.
That should make things even worse.

One Strip! One Strip!I didn't know that returning to the realm of the living for 24 hours also allowed time travel. Why would Goku wish to be present for Gohan's birth twice?
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Fix the error, and while it's true he wouldn't know, that might not matter to Gohan if his bitterness grew bad enough.
One Strip! One Strip!I mean, she might not even have been pregnant yet because it can take a few hours for the sperm to reach and fertilize the egg, and then a few days for the blastocyst to implant.
Course, I dunno when in those 10 days they banged, or even whether or not it was during the ten days or in the lead-up to the Androids showing up so.

It's not entirely impossible if they did the deed immediately after Goku left the Time Chamber but it's certainly unlikely.
Goten couldn't have been conceived at any point during that three year time skip because Trunks is about a year older than him and he was born shortly before 19 and 20 arrived.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Even if he didn't know in advance when Goten would've been born, he could've just shown up after. Of course, he could've also shown up when Goten would remember him, or used that magic King Kai telepathic conversation power to talk with his family...
There are three days between the Androids defeating Vegeta et al and Vegeta/Trunks entering the Room of Spirit and Time. Then they're in the room for a full day, then Goku and Gohan are in for almost a full day.
I mean I don't think I'm contradicting you on that working (don't know much about pregnancy) but that is exactly how much time passes.
It doesn't help that the sun has a bad tendency to never fucking set when battles are going on.
It was only just starting to go down during the Saiyan Saga (so neither the Z Warriors or Nappa and Vegeta ate anything during that time) despite two whole days passing. I don't recall it being night during much of the Android/Cell Saga either, up until Cell began waiting for the tournament to happen.
One Strip! One Strip!The most insane part would easily be the Namek Saga where an entire week passes and nobody ever really rests. Vegeta takes all of one nap and spends some time unconscious and Gohan and Krillin eat one meal.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!If they didn't eat that one meal, they would've died.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Well, there were night battles in Dragon Ball and early Saiyan Saga, because Oozaru. Namek had the handy 3 suns excuse. After that... I got nothin'.

They didn't get the Senzu until after Goku arrived which was at the end of all that. Beforehand, they had no excuse.

Of course, they might very well have things get worse too.
I'm hoping they don't but considering how hard they've pushed the Goku is a shitty father angle, it's hard to have faith.
I have faith they will make things hilarious, but not that they'll start turning around the stuff about how good a dad Goku is.
One Strip! One Strip!
