Father or Financer?

 Men are the source of problems in the family. All they need to do is make sure the bills are paid. Is this statement true? Will life be much better if men just covered all the bills and that was all they did? If this is the case, what does the title Father really mean? Are fathers less important than mothers?

First, are men the source of the problem regarding family? The simple answer to this question is that the answer varies based on the individual. The overall answer is no, though at times it can be men. Determining if an answer is right or not is not assigned based on gender. Issues arise within the family because of a clash of ideas. Both men and women have their own ideas on how to deal with issues. Men are right and women are right, there is no clear side that is more right than the other. You must be open to hearing both sides to fix the issue.

It can be easier to sit back and let mothers handle children while men deal with providing for the children. It is a proven fact that children need a mother in their lives, but just as crucial is having a father in their lives. A good father provides a good example of what his sons should be like, and what his daughters should look for in men they are attracted to. Not only this, but people are more driven when there is a strong cause to do anything. Having a father in a child's life can and will inspire the father to work harder knowing it is for a good cause.

The father's title has changed over the years, evolving and potentially even distorting from its original meaning. It is heartbreaking to see in the modern media, that fathers are many times portrayed as simply being the protectors and the providers of the family. Though both these rules are important, fathers simply are far greater than just being a support for the family. They can be nurturers, inspires, and even someone to listen to your problems. The most effective families tend to have active fathers who do nurture, inspire, and listen.

Many times, mothers wish their husbands would take a more active role in raising the children, and frankly, the lessons a father teaches are different but just as vital as any lesson taught by mothers. Fathers can't simply sit on the sidelines while their children grow up. When both men and women take an active role in raising the children, not only are the children more likely to thrive when they leave home. They also have a higher chance of forming healthier connections with those of the same and opposite gender.

When boys are raised in a home with an active father, they develop better health habits of how to treat women and how they should treat themselves. Similar lessons can be learned by girls when there is an active father in the home. Not only do they see good examples of how to interact with the opposite gender, but they also learn valuable experiences of how men should treat them when they hang out with them.

Women's role in the family as mothers cannot simply be overlooked. They play one of the most pivotal roles in society today. The role of the father is not to be taken lightly either. Neither rule is more important than the other and neither is less important than the other. When both men and women take an active role in raising kids, both parents improve and come closer together, along with providing a good example of what relations with the opposite gender should look like for their children.
