the government and the divorce industry has been instrumental in getting the fatherly role out of family life. The media has also contributed as you won’t see one commercial where dad, no matter what ethnicity isn’t labeled a dummy and MOM is the family “patriarch.”
Society has allowed so much to make it harder to raise children today. One has to be DIFFERENT and the kids have to knowt they are not to “follow” but to lead.. be the difference in the group.
Divorce, living together without marriage, having kids without fathers, thinking welfare is a way of life... living for freebies and work is shunned... hard work is avoided... Just the mindset of today’s society is so screwed up, it’s unrecognizable to what I knew in the past. We knew folks. The local bank knew us all. We had a dime store, a clothing store, a shoe store, a drugstore, a grocery store, several churches, the schools were run by the local folks.. school board.. we had Bible in schools, there was no tolerance for rude and bad behavior... the bus drivers could discipine the kids on the way home.
It was a way of life we knew and now, we know what we had!
