Education about the importance of fathers

Education about the importance of fathers A few years ago, my wife was out of town for the weekend, and Jonathon, our 2 years and I am the son at home playing.A friend called my wife. When she was told, my wife was out of town, said: "You're at home babysitting." My response was: "No, I'm at home, a father." I am sure that my wife's friend not bad. It 's just that I believe is the assumption that when a father with his children without his wife, who is in baby-sitting.Not case. E 'un pensiero father.It me, but the role of fathers in our society.Too many children are abandoned suppose that is one of the lucky ones. My father was there in order for me, I have always known that care about me. It 'been easy to find, and I knew that he was very proud of me.I also know that there are an increasing number of children who have never had and never to experience.According D. Blankenho in his book 'American father, our most urgent social problem ", about 40 percent of American children today go to sleep in homes where their fathers do not live. Blankenho writes that "in this country are not so many children been voluntarily abandoned by their fathers." This is strong language: 'voluntarily waived. "He recalls, in the worst cases, the images of biological fathers who absolutely can not accept responsibility for a child or perhaps do not even know such an order exists, the best of fathers, from a family with divorce, death or other type abandonment.But as to what kind of father is not there? They could be physically present but are not available in an emotional support sense.I seems a lot more-but-not-us fathers who are literally letting their children.Moms responsible for most tasksHere is just one example the work that remains. Even after time fathers spend about two-fifths more time with their children as mothers, according to three independent surveys.Now here that shocks me - and mothers can testify anywhere - researchers do not have a single child of rearing tasks for fathers in the first place responsibility.There 's screamingly something terribly, terribly wrong here.
