Mums’ think Dads don’t matter

To hear a lot of mums talk today, you would think that dads don’t matter. And when I hear about the way some men behave, I can understand why. But of course, this is all about the behaviour of the parents, without giving any consideration to the needs of the child. After all, the basic principle of the Children’s Act that “the welfare of the child is paramount” is hardly uppermost in parent’s minds when they are so aggressively locked in their own issues and anger. And that is the problem.

I shouldn’t have to be saying why dads matter. The fact that a lot of mums think that dads don’t matter is exactly why dads do matter!
