I am one father who really believes that fathers are better at parenting than most mothers. I raised my 3 children and what this story says has a lot of merit and truth. One problem of single fathers is getting state support in raising them, it is a very discriminating system. For some illogical reason the state and courts discriminate against fathers as parents. Courts and laws think that only mothers can nurture children but this is false and not true. Anytime a father is determined to get custody of his children, it should be given serious and a preferential decision.

Child support has become too much of an issue that negatively impacts children's lives as they watch both parents in a constant life long battle over money. For this reason I opted out of any child support and put my children first and above all others.

Although fathers have some of the same problems in child peer pressures that children face, the fathers seem better able to help children cope with it.

Single fathers are proving themselves all the time as a responsible parent able to raise children in a happier and stable home.

Happy FATHERS day.
