>>Funny how there are multiple threads and opinions on this forum concerning the importance of the role of fathers, but somehow, in this case, being one “figures.”<<
Of course fathers are important. Very important. I have no clue where you got that I said fathers are not.
However, when a father states that his children never had a tantrum, it makes one wonder where the father was during the children’s second and third years. Maybe mom handled all of it and you were not aware of what she was going through?
