Being the father of girls is a kind of illness, in its own way - since any guy who has tried to live in a house with a wife and two daughters is, without any doubt, going to go certifiably nuts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People get that dads have a place in the lives of their sons. But you have to be just as present with daughters, maybe even more so. You have to get in there and be part of the game.
There's really no point in having children if you're not going to be home enough to father them.
Any woman knows that it takes two people to be a good parent.
Some men don't want to be responsible fathers. It's easier to say 'Let's just turn the kids over to the state.' Women end up bearing the entire load, raising kids alone without a husband to share the parenting.
Some men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.
I completely appreciate the importance of fathers but millions of children are without loving homes. I think a child is lucky with one parent who truly loves her.
It is much easier to become a father than to be one.
Especially when you've become the father of two daughters, you hope the world can be a more gentle place.
In Hindu societies, especially overprotected patriarchal families like mine, daughters are not at all desirable. They are trouble. And a mother who, as mine did, has three daughters, no sons, is supposed to go and hang herself, kill herself, because it is such an unlucky kind of motherhood to have.
I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they're immediately wanting to be a parent or not.
