Men have the influence and power in business and politics. It is the mother who can make the child's bedtime earlier, take away desserts or ground the child.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Even the notion that women should have children at all is based on the idea that a woman's inherent and most important role is that of mother. Shockingly, men's 'innate' roles are a lot more fun than the ones bestowed on women.
So although women can do anything that men can't do, they can also do something that men can't do, and that is mother their children.
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.
Men are what their mothers made them.
Generally speaking, historically in this country, the care of a child has been thought of as female business.
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
I'm not saying that men make better fathers than women do mothers.
What we should notice is that studies show that fathers' presence in their children's lives has a marked effect on how well their kids do later in life, so why aren't we asking how we can better liberate men from the workplace to be home with their kids more often?
Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children, but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.
