| Do children need a father?
Posted: 6/19/2009 5:51:03 PM | | anyone can be a father but a man in their childs life is a dad. I strong beleive that all children need their father's in their lives. I have an older that still needs her dad at times and i'm always here for her | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 8:06:40 PM | I don't think children need a father or mother if the person is either not fit or not willing to be a parent for a good portion of their life. They DO need a positive role model and someone to love them.
I grew up with two brothers and just 1 parent, my mother. I don't think I missed out on all that much since I still had some positive role models in my life ( not boyfriends of my mom she stayed single) other family, teachers etc where there to point me in the right direction I just needed to know that asking questions is allowed and very helpfull:P
If the father of a child has issues loving his son or daughter for any reason than that's a serious problem, as are things like drug abuse and bad habits that can impact the child.
If a father has love to give, and can teach the child how the world works and to be a good person than they are qualified as far as im concerned. | |

So I see you are a dad. Are you raising your children alone? | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 8:45:05 PM | | I think kids need a father and a mother too. They may not be living together but they both need to take an active part and show care and concern for the child. A father may not be a biological father but a father, none the less. Little boys need both and little girls do to. | |

My ex & I have one daughter together. We adopted two babies from birth - they were both from my side of the family. The middle child was 5 and the youngest was just over a year when we split. Seven years later he contacted the middle child but has never really been involved with any of their lives. My two youngest have met their biological mothers and the middle one has met her biological father.
My Dad has always been there for all 3 and they each have their favorite Uncles from our extended family.
Yes, ideally children need both parents in their lives. But in reality that doesn't always happen. As I see it, my ex has missed out on their experiences, but that was and always will be his choice. | |

Posted: 6/22/2009 5:22:19 PM | I am a divorced mom with 2 boys... but I am not a single parent. YES children need a father. I have been blessed with an ex-husband who is a wonderful father to his boys and I can not imagine the void in their life if he was not around.

Sometimes when I read posts such as this, from an obviously nice poster about her wonderful ex and how he's a great dad, I wonder why they couldn't work out their relationship, and save the children the heartbreak of splitting up. | |
