I think Mr. Bacorn has a good point with this article, I see a lot of kids out there with just there mothers and their lives and some act like they have no discipline. A lot of teens these days will get a girl pregnant and will not stay to be a part of the child's life which in turn makes it much more difficult for the mother and child. I understand there are certain times when they cant help not being there, like a death of the father but I believe if a child does have a father they should be there for them and teach them right and wrong and just maybe it would keep some kids out of trouble. I think every child deserves a father, also I think if more kids had a father around it could potentially make the world a little better place here and there.

Dear Dads: Save Your Sons
The article " Dear Dads: Save Your Sons" by Chrisopher N. Bacorn
is about kids in America with out fathers. It starts out with one boy who had a deceased father
and had after started falling into trouble without a male role model in his life. Bacorn talks about all the distractions or activities a lot of fathers tend to fall into like: bowling, shooting pool, drinking at the bars, or working all day jobs. Because these fathers aren't there for their kids they start to slip down the wrong path, whether it be in gangs, or hanging around with the wrong people which can lead to crimes and even jail time. Not all men are missing from their kids lives but Bacorn goes on to think about what if more fathers were there to give guidance to their children, it could help some families stay better off and also make happier homes.

Hello. I was a single parent of three kids from a previous marriage until I met my second husband. It is very stressful as a parent to make ends meet, yet alone have to make sure my kids are happy in this single-parenting environment. I remember it was extremely hard to find daycare for my kids because they were under 12 and by law, could not stay home by themselves. I struggled financially and did not get any child support from their father because he was too busy selling drugs on the street, later incarcerated. I experienced several challenges raising my kids, especially my oldest son. Even though there is a second father (step-dad) in the picture, my oldest son still felt something was missing. Honestly, he said step-dad is not my "real" dad so I don't feel comfortable opening up to him or interact with him like father and son. I am not sure what was meant by that statement. I guess no step dad can compare to a "real" dad (meaning biological father). My oldest still struggles with not having his biological father around because his father is still in prison for some repeated crimes. My son is now 18 years old and I'm afraid he will take a different direction in life to end up just like his dad. That is my fear as a mother. I can relate to the mother in the article.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that a father needs to be around and spending quality time with his sons. Perhaps my son would be in a better position had his dad set a good example in life.
I agree with you David, I believe two person who made the baby, so two person should be there for the kid not just the mom. Some guys are just irresponsible and I hate when they don't give a thing to their child.They are either scared to be a father or just didn't want to do anything with the kid. sigh*
