The Bottom Line Fathers be there for your children, from birth to adulthood.
To any new fathers out there or those of you who hesitate in taking a part in raising your children. Looking back on our soon to be 18 years of parenting, and five children I was compelled to write this article. My husband was one like so many others who felt it was the mothers duty to raise the kids and his job was to work. Through the first three children my husband felt it was a bother to be tied down with kids or spending time with his family. As time has passed it has shown the ugly side of how children can't bond as well with someone who seems to have no time for them. Some may think I am a weird-o or possibly just think I am crazy, but I have seen for myself how children bond so much better when given the chance. When a child is born fathers can make time to bond with them by diaper changes, feedings and even bath time. My husband saw no need in taking the time for these events with our first three children, and today there is a big difference in how those first three relate with their father. They love him but they are by far more distant than the last two children who he has taken time to be with, and bonded to. I believe fathers should make every effort to bond at young ages with their children, this is something you don't get a second chance at. And if you don't bond early it could be to late.  |
