Do you think kids still need dads in this new world?

I think it is best to have two parents. It takes two to be in love. It takes two to create a baby. It takes two to take turns and two to support children. Mothers and fathers are both important. Takes feminine and masculine ways to raise a child well.

Just because someone says they don't need dads doesn't mean it is true.

To be a good parent it takes commitment and effort. The science that I've seen shows that children have the best chance at success by having both a mother and father.

That doesn't mean a single parent or other alternatives can't do a great job raising children, but that the best chance, statistically, is with a Mom and Dad.

Kids need both a mother and father at different times in their lives. They also need parents who teach respect toward the other gender and so much more.

A father figure is very very important in a child's life. Same with a mother.

how is the son gonna learn how to be a man

Of course children still need a male influence, whatever women try and convince themselves men play a major role also in bringing up our children..

Kids don't need a dad if they want to grow up with all kinds of daddy issues.

Kids need their dads.

Children benefit greatly from an active and healthy relationship with both a mother and father. Fathers are still a vital part of their child's life.

Good dads are invaluable to a child's development. The problem is that too many fathers are either absent or worthless or a downright threat to their kids.

Noooooo. ..that's why half are doped up on adhd and d like so mom can manage em better

Yes kids need dads! What they do not need is any irresponsible parent.

All children need and deserve to have a father.

Personally, I think all children benefit from [b]good[/b], attentive and present fathers. But they're better off with no man in the home than an abusive one. And they're also better off with a responsible father than a neglectful mother. Some people still think only women can nurture, but that's not true. And not all women can.

Having a father and mother is important, though circumstances often limit that situation....
