Everyone deserves two parents
2007-12-27 07:11:32 · answer #1 · answered by KJ 6 · 4⤊ 0⤋
A healthy psychological, spiritual, mental and physical/social
family environment involves a two parent unit which includes
both parents, the mother and the father. But this alone is not a mitigative factor.
Consider: the father's death; the parents' decision to divorce;
the father being physically present in the home but not actively participating in the family function..or even knowing how to be a father; the father contributing to the family unit
financially but is absent emotionally.
These are just a few of the examples of how a father might not actually be living up to his end of the parenthood
commitment.
Then there are fathers who are deconstructive of the family unit. These examples might include: he physically abuses
his children and/or the mother of his children. He verbally
does the same. He sexually molests his children. He neglects
his children and/or the mother of his children.
Those are the exceptions.
Other than that, the answer is definitely yes..people
do indeed need a father in the home when they're
growing up. It's just the law of nature. It's natural.
Peace always.

I am not going to say they NEED a father because after the age of 11 I didn't have one. My parents separated and it was an off and on thing. It wasn't healthy for me and my brother and I still think about all that and I am 30. However, they SHOULD have a father in the home. But what good is a father who doesn't do anything with their child? His mere presence isn't enough in my opinion. My mother basically raised us and took care of us and we turned out fine.

If the question is properly considered they answer has to be yes.
In other words, is a child better off with a loving Father and a loving Mother or just a loving Mother? Yes, every child is far better off with both a loving Father and a loving Mother in their home.
Happy New Year!

I would have to agree that it would be the ideal situation, however, I am a single mom and my son's father is not involved in his life. While that is sad ... and his choice completely ... my son is a wonderful, bright, and happy boy who has plenty of love in his life.
Being a single parent is NOT at all easy and I wouldn't have chosen it if I had any say in the matter. But I wouldn't trade being a single mom for anything and I make sure to take every chance I can get to have positive, strong, and healthy male role models in my son's life. That is the KEY. As long as he has good male role models he can pick up on the cues he needs to become a healthy, strong, and good young man himself.
My son will never get in to trouble .. or join a gang. That is very stereotypical and I would NEVER allow that. As long as there are good adults in a child's life that raise them right ... and bring them up in areas away from these bad influences ... odds are he will turn out just fine. Love is the most powerful influence of all ... and my son has got PLENTY of that! =)
Peace to you ...

I believe two parents in the home is better than one, but only if the two get along. It's good for a growing child to see how each gender acts and reacts to different situations.

no not necessarily but a good role model is a must... I grew up without a father in my life and I am doing ok I think... my son is going to grow up with out his biological father in my household but a ATRUE father figure is mor important I think

Yes. But everyone deserves a good father and mother but if either of them is lacking in some way detrimental to a child then it's best for him/her to not be there.

yes because they are the ones who are really good at disciplining their kids and the mom is usually the one who lets their kids do whatever they want. When kids are growing up, they need GUIDENTS and that is what the father is good for
