Little boys need a daddy to show them how to be a man.
And as an aside - if either of my little boys is ever stupid enough to say such a thing to his mama he won't need any punishment from me; he'll already have a red imprint of my wife's fingers on the side of his face. 'Course, that doesn't mean I won't give him what he needs as soon as I get home. We're a team, after all.
Anyone who thinks actresses are qualified to advise normal people needs his/her head examined.
Remember all the years of our being told what a great couple, what great parents, what a great example Brad and Angelina were? And now what ... we learn it was all a disaster all along.
It’s not money, travel, celebrity, special schools, etc., that children need. Normal married parents are best.
-—However, as a fellow single mum, I couldn’t disagree more. Of course, many mothers raise children well without fathers after death, divorce or as a result of lifestyle choices.-—
Sorry, the evidence says otherwise.
The greatest harm is the psychological impact of having the single parent create a co-dependency on the child rather than a spouse. This forces the child’s personality to develop as the compliment to the stronger mother’s personality.
If you look at a very high percentage of feminine men you will find that they had a strong co-dependent mother.
In general I agree but that may depend on the dad.
I would agree that every child needs a male father figure while growing up. That does not mean that their biological father is suitable to fulfill these needs.
He is legitimately angry because he should not be in the position of being the "man of the house." He should be the little boy of the house, but because adults put their "choices" above his welfare, he is stuck with what he's got. Not only that, he has to pretend that he agrees that adults have the right to put themselves first.
Many, many women live in a fantasy world, and without a man in their lives their is no control or “gate” to control their hysterical impulses and behaviors. And their children suffer for it.
They use their self-absorbed pre-crazy cat lady friends as sounding boards, so of course they diverge from common cense and reality. This could have easily been predicted.
They serve to weaken and fray the fabric of society with their capricious desires.
If your father role is to physically harm your child in the name of some sort of sick “discipline”, he may indeed be better off without you in his life.
And your lovely wife should not be hitting the child in the face.
You two need help.
Ridiculous. I did not marry until I was 46. I got a package deal on a wonderful woman and four teen and pre teen kids. Dad had been a useless and abusive drunk. I could not believe how much they craved having a father figure. The older girl was very (justifiably) protective of her mother, so I was on probation for awhile but the younger kids took to me immediately. There have been a few bumps in the road, but all in all its been great. Being single for so long I got to do a lot of cool things. Raced motorcycles, scuba diving, flying, etc. Walking a beautiful young woman who calls you Dad down the Isle tops them all. What is scary is that the guy waiting at the alter was so much like me. It must be a kind of “imprinting” thing. Thankfully he lacks my glaring faults. It certainly makes you aware of your responsibility as a father. If I’d been a jerk, would she have married one?
You know the mother has been telling the boy that he's the man of the house since he was old enough to speak. Yeah, great idea not having a father around. You reap what you sow.
While it is a lousy generalization, some homes are better off without the drunk/abusive father around.
“Little girls need a daddy to show them how they should be treated by a man.”
You never lived in a house with my father. You could be correct in one way... “See how Daddy treats you, then find a man exactly opposite.”
Feminism is a mental illness.
Depends on the dad. Mine was a philandering piece of crap. The less time he had to screw me up the better.

She will either raise a gay son or a monster.....................
Detroit, Memphis, Camden, Chicago. Who needs baby daddy when Uncle Sam is the biggest of them all.
It depends on the dad. Some kids ARE better off with SOME dads.
Women need men like fish need bicycles.
Men need women like birds need leashes.
