I couldn’t agree more with ‘duncans’ sentiments here … I am single dad of a 5 yr old boy who resides with 40% of the time. As such, during those times my son experiences a complete ‘family life’ with myself, I provide and nuture him dealing with all needs, quite irrespective of whether this site classifies them as supposedly ‘mums’ domain or ‘dads’ domain. Proper ‘Shared Residence’ of children, must be the order of the day, rather than the one-sided feminist attitudes that so often prevails in the UK….all children have two parents and the best interests of every child are served by all children having a proper contiuation of family life with both parents, albeit that the parents no longer love together. One parent should not be sub-servient to the other. As ‘duncan’ espoused SHAME ON YOU !!!

Hi
i must say that i’ve found my visit to this website a bit patronizing and very much following the status quo regarding caring for kids – all the literature/articles appear to support the notion that the mother is the person who should be the principle carer and decision maker when it comes the children.
I am a single dad, not a widower, and i have my daughter full time and i get on with things pretty well. i was looking at this site as i’m developing group activities for dads through my work and i am constantly looking for support/guidance for dads that can be utilised by those deemed as disadvantaged.
Reading through this site has made me feel that i should be subservient to females as they MUST know better – yet i’m the one who did all the caring, cleaning, giving, supporting, nurturing since my daughters birth so please re-address this as you’re just enforcing the stereotypical image of fathers as being unable to bring up kids without a female “being the boss”
SHAME ON YOU!!!
