families in society do not support fathers being involved in the family?

Question

do you agree or disagree with this statement and please state 3 reasons why..

Answer 1

I disagree, from my point of view I love to see fathers reading, playing and disaplining children. It shows me he cares. He should also get involved in the house work to help his wife.

Answer 2

I think people stereotypically think that fathers are never as involved with the family as the mothers are. I know that this isn't true with a lot of families and fathers are increasingly becoming more and more involved with their family. It's much more acceptable to be a "Mr. Mom" now than it was 50 years ago. However, fathers are still often viewed as someone indirectly involved with the family. They are the wage earners of the family is how society often views fathers. Just look at Mother's Day compared to Father's Day. Mother's Day gets much more attention than Father's Day does. It's the second biggest gift giving day of the year (behind Christmas, of course).

Sorry forgot to mention that I disagree with the statement. What I wrote above is that many people stereotypically think that fathers are detached from the family. I think that fathers should be supported by society for being involved in the family and many fathers I know are extremely involved in the family.

Answer 3

disagree, no one can argue the need for the father figure. family with out father is only acceptable when there are 2 life partners. Single income famlies and wages earned by a female mother will be less than that of a single income family supported by father or better yet both earners.

Answer 4

LOL is this a homework assignment???

I disagree with this statement. I think that it has just become more socially acceptable that fathers aren't involved. I do know that single fathers aren't as common as single mothers so there may not be as much support available for them as single mothers (but not sure).

Answer 5

I strongly disagree:one because w/ out the man how else was the child created?!!?Two the children need some sort of father figure no matter what,three...it's a fathers right to be involved and if they want to be involved how is that not something to be extremely joyful about. Plenty Men allready don't take responsibility!

Answer 6

I disagree for the most part. After my parents divorced I went to live with my father. He took care of me, brought me shopping, feed me, brought me to & from school, and brought me to church. He was there when I had my first period & bought the toiletries for me that I was ashamed to buy. I don't know where'd I'd be if my father didn't help me as much as he did. I think it's very important for society to support fathers being involved in the family. Both parents are very very important to the emotional & physical development of a child. I have one daughter who wishes she had a closer relationship with her father. But my younger child is very close to her father & he's as involved in her care as I am. He also has a daughter from a previous marriage & both he & his ex-wife share in her upbringing. I support both of them 100%. In fact, we have family functions and activities with my husband's ex-wife & her new husband. We're like an extended family, so that my step-daughter feels like she always has both parents around although they have been divorced for many years. A lot of people think we're strange, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Good luck.
