At least 75% of all the problems we see in our society today have to do with no father in the house.


Mass shootings, theft, assaults, drug use, school dropout rates, you name it.

Children need unconditional love to grow and mature. Where they get it, whether from fathers, mothers, or a combination of the two, is of less than no importance.
Boys need solid male role models in their lives. You could say Obama had his maternal grandfather around.

To dismiss the importance of a father in a child's life is just wrong.

You can't get away from reality. It has a way of reasserting itself.
It would seem that network is failing as fathers are not earning the dough so mothers can nurture the children. Mothers are having to earn the dough and nurture the children as best they can. So it doesnt look like its reasserting itself.

So what do we do to fix it.
Men need to pick up the ball here and mentor boys and young men, be mentors and set better examples. Men, who still dominate in wealth and position need to lobby for funding for programs. Courts need to put more emphasis on insuring fathers are able and free to spend more time with their children, have more parental input, get joint custody, etc. when parents are not living together.

Perhaps women should choose better mates and/or better themselves so there’s enough money to nurture the children. Certainly nothing wrong with mom making the money and dad staying home to nurture the kids…because equality.

There are plenty of fathers. They just never see their kids because they are always working.

The 24/7 culture of work has to end.

Of course that’s bad for business…..so just plan on more of the same.

Those problems also exist strongly in households where the father doesn't love the kids and makes that clear.

A father who loves and has a close loving relationship with his children makes such an enormous difference. He has to not just be there. He has to communicate that he's pleased with his kids and proud of them.

Wait for it. It won’t be long before a lefty comes on this thread and talks about leave it to beaver and blah blah blah…. All they will do is deflect. You will never get a lefty to admit the destruction of the family is the problem. It has to be governments fault. Not enough sex education and not enough handouts.
They tear down our nation, our history, our culture and our traditions, and turn citizen against citizen, so people will despise what is. By convincing everyone that they are a poor set upon victim, and their neighbor is a racist, bigot hater, and is oppressing them, people will not trust each other. This way the only people we are taught to trust are government. Everyone else is a racist, bigot oppressor, and only government can protect us from the barbarians at the gate.

This way when the left start to fundamentally transform our nation into a Marxist hell hole, there won't be anyone who will defend the nation, because the left have taught them to despise our culture, our traditions, our parents, and even our neighbors.

Or simply don’t have kids if you can’t afford them and/or have time to take care of them. It’s so simple.

What is it about modern society that a man cannot earn enough money to properly support his wife and kids? Have men gotten lazier?

We didn't seem to have this problem many decades ago.
