This is a no brainer.
A father, at the very LEAST, is another adult in the home who can either provide relief, and/or attend to much of the administrative tasks of running a home with children, so the mom can at least focus on the kids ...or better yet, they share those things so BOTH can attend to the parenting tasks. It takes TWO!!!
In this case, Lanza father could have done a walk through of the house and perhaps asked Nancy as to why the guns weren’t locked up with the kid around.
Or discussed the issue with her ... they say he had weekly visits ...what were they doing during these visits?
Many, many, many reasons men aren’t inovlved these days — many working long hours to stay afloat, many distracted by hobbies, sporting events, other women, or even some who play like they’re serving and volunteering in the community — when it’s THEIR kids who usually need the most time and attention!
I’m tired of passivity from men nowdays. Don’t LET these women push you out. Do your duty to your kids. Scouts are a great way to spend time as a father with your son — in the company of other like minded men and to teach and get these kids away from the video games!
agree on all points.
I’ve pointed out how the left have attacked the traditional fmaily for decades over the last few days so I;m not going to write another long post but the left promoted this new family , told women they do not need a guy and they are now seeing their chickens come home.
Wait till another 20 years when we see kids who have been bought by homosexuals grow up with their mental problems to add.
No coincidence that the rules for commies back in 1963 attacked the family and society and since that the fmaily has been destroyed, hell they even tried to go after the boy scouts.
edit
Just been told two girls at my oldest school were crying because the texted naked photo’s of themselves and now it;s been passed about.\
Girls are 15 as is my oldest boy
Neither girls have fathers, both have mothers who go out all the time and never bother with their daughters, both girils smoke, have weed, get drunk and now this.
Mother is too busy working and then going out getting laid, no father and this is another product of the lefts attack on traditional families
Don’t LET these women push you out.
The problem isn’t about women pushing men out. The problem are men checking out.
The government views such as PARIAHS and THE ENEMY to be forced out of the home at all costs. In the Western world, upon birth (and before), women are granted "custodial" and supreme authority over any and all children. This is the problem with thinking that a pregnancy is simply a "part" of the woman's body in which she has ultimate authority over: it filters down to post natal as well: (see http://www.shrink4men.com/2011/05/17/does-your-wife-or-ex-wife-have-a-golden-uterus-complex-15-characteristics-of-the-golden-uterus/)
Schools, churches, daycares, government agencies, especially in BLUE states will tell you that dad has ZERO rights; his only job is to pay matriarchy aka "child" support. They have government agencies to enforce this that get matching fed kickbacks for the greatest amount of "child" support mandated and collected (search: Title IV-D)
There is no such government agency as "Equal/Shared Parenting Enforcement Agency." Today ALL correction of children is equated with ABUSE. Mom is free to trash dad in front of the children and block dad's visitation at will; especially if said dad has DARED to move on after he is dumped.
Most divorce filings are filed by MOM not dad. Soon dad has run out of the tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees that he needs to protect his basic parental rights and eventually gives up in hopelessness.
Now mom is free to coddle her child(ren) yet inappropriately give them what I call "A.S.S." (adult spousal status). Junior has the same rights as an adult spouse would in his "single mom" home, making choices as to where they will live, what groceries they will buy and often privy to adult conversation as Junior becomes mommy's "shoulder to cry on." Junior likes his "adult" status and when dad tries to institute normal parent/child relationship on his time, providing he is "allowed" it by mom, he is rebuked by both Junior AND mom. Child Protective Services is often called and trumped up charges against dad are launched. All discipline, boundaries and structure is removed from Junior's life.
Meanwhile mom continues to molly coddle Junior or Sally and when they become a little too unmanageable after some time, she then puts them on MEDS.
Junior/Sally get very little exercise, fresh air, non-junk food meals (mom is too frazzled and depressed to cook), or anything educational. Often fed a steady diet of "Sponge Bob" or such other garbage (have you seen kid's cartoons these days? just a bunch of bodily function noises) Add in a constant stream of video games and an extremely defensive posture by mom to enable and excuse Junior/Sally's negative behavior and VOILA! You have today's messed up, spoiled, lazy, self-absorbed, entitled, narcissistic, wimpy EMO child!
