It is no doubt hard on kids when they miss their fathers. You are right in saying that they shouldn't have to worry about their parents at such a young age. Unfortunately not all children will find it smooth sailing.Nunyaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627939958188041617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951242412489879248.post-28047147805243113232008-09-24T00:54:00.000+10:002008-09-24T00:54:00.000+10:00I maybe should not say this but I am going too any...I maybe should not say this but I am going too anyway....

Hopefully there is some male relative who will help out as a role model. <BR/>Since there are so many single parent families I think some single parents are doing very well since not every one is a dysfunctional adult.<BR/><BR/>My daughter has a friend who is just embarking on the single parenthood route as she has adopted a baby from Guatemala. She has a wonderful extended family and they will all be involved. It is a little girl and I've no doubt that it is easier to bring up a girl without a father than a rambunctious boy.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951242412489879248.post-73481689160892875702008-09-23T10:06:00.000+10:002008-09-23T10:06:00.000+10:00Read the link, what a wicked, selfish attitude to ...Read the link, what a wicked, selfish attitude to have to think that one can bring up a child with no father, to deliberately conceive a child and brush off that a father is not necessary. No wonder men feel like walking sperm banks. This is not to condone all the men who walk away from women once they are pregnant, any man can be a father, it takes a real man to be a dad and women who think it is irrelevant to have a father/dad is depriving the child.

There are things you can only gain from a father that no matter how good the mother is, she can never provide. The role and value of fathers these days seems to take a back seat.Nunyaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627939958188041617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951242412489879248.post-81466133394890522832008-09-22T22:28:00.000+10:002008-09-22T22:28:00.000+10:00I think a lot of mothers DO manage to bring up chi...I think a lot of mothers DO manage to bring up children well on their own.<BR/><BR/>On the whole I think it prob more important for a child to have a good relationship with their Mum than their Dad- though obv BOTH is ideal.<BR/><BR/>I do take your point, but I do think many single parents do a great job and the tendancy to criticise them is often unfair.Crushedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479751225625007588noreply@blogger.com
