This is an interesting for me because it is about the perceptive of a man towards the issue of parenthood. Honestly, the results are quite impressive because it vividly indicated that the father nowadays concern about the children as much as a mother. The fathers nowadays seem to be engrossing their attention on the children more than what I have in my mind. Albeit, it is a good sign and should be maintained because the role of a father or a husband in the process of development of the children is as important as the role played by a mother or wife. To all the men, love your children and for sure you will enjoy the fruit of happiness in your lives!

  1. yea...dads play an important role just as a mother. Also, 21st century fathers are no longer the same as the old generations'. They are more concern and care for their children, sometimes more than mothers...I think dads can take over the role in the development of sons as there are always men's talk and girls' talk. Sharing can help a child to grow more holistic.
