The Silence of the Fathers is What Really Harms Families
It is not for women alone to carry the weight of domestic responsibility. Fathers' rights groups such as Fathers4Justice and Families Need Fathers have done pretty well over the past few years.

it is not just about divorcee's, and not even a reflection of in-home Father's, bu what about the non-married father's begging for rights? Of course the equal rights are being fought for on both sides of this horrible fence but when it comes to unwed couples, the mother seems to have the advantages in the court system's eyes. A mother in a non-wed couple can grab full custody and move out of state faster than some fathers have time to think. the fairness is over looked and given to the mother on a concept that a mother is "more important" to a child. there are too many confused children in the world who grow up in search of "themselves" when in all actuality they are in search of the missing link to their lives, their Fathers! |

Each guy is different! This overgeneralizes men too much. Some are pieces of crap while others deserve to be parents. Some don't. |

I also have add that it's great that it's acceptable to have men stay at home with the kids. I remember telling my mom " I could and Rob can stay home to look after Candra". My mom's reaction was "Why can't he work". This conversation could've gone on and on like a tennis match. i just left her with her own opion and worked myself and had him stay home with the kid.
If he can work, I can work. If I can look after the kid, he can look after the kid. Forget the 50's, no one was truely happy back then. |

I am the daughter of divorced parents and i lived with my mom. I am 24 now, but I still wonder what it would've like to live with a solid family. My dad wasn't in contact consistanlty (that's another story) and I am now left with a strained, akward relationship with him. But, I am in an 8 year relationship with my spouse and we have a daughter and he has an active influence on her. The only thing I wish is that would just clean up the house with me. It's like having 2 kids instead of one.
Kudos to the men who put their all into their families. Both financial, household and relationship and family wise. |

Firstly, I think it's a grand misconception that the majority of fathers don't participate in their children's lives but the idea with promoting equal parenting is to encourage the participation of fathers in fatherhood: to guaruntee them these children are "their's too" no matter come what may. Such legal rights would boost confidence and consequently participation in family life. |
