Usually when only a single parent is invloved, they are able to take on both roles out of necessity. Its not the best situation, but then whats the alternative for the good of the child?

I am sure if something were to happen to me, my wife would be able to manage. But hopefully I will be around to take care of my kids.

Everyone has to remember that kids always come first and you gotta do whatever is in their best interest!

Now am I a good dad or what??? Lol

You should try and make things equal. My fiance is very good with hayley, there are still a few things he won't do such as batth her (shes 1 year old) but most of the time he does other things like feed her, change her and if I need a break and wanna go out for a few hours then he looks after her (even if that means checking up on him to see if hes fed her or whatever) at the moment I am a sahm and I don't plan on going back to work 'til hayleys in school and my fiance is out of a job at the moment (hopefully not for too long) so he spends alot of time with hayley, even when he goes back to work he still has time with her even if that means he has to schedule it. There are alot of fathers that don't want to know their own children so be as involved as possible even if you're no longer with the mother. :)

Most of what the logical thinking folks here has been well thought out and presented perfectly!

I totally hate the fact that many fathers will tell friends and family that they cannot do this or that because they have to "babysit" their kids, if the caps lock would work on this site I would use it now.... " you cannot babysit your children, it is not possible for you to be a sitter, you are the parent, and a total fool for thinking you are sitting your child"

ok, whew, I got that out. I am a disabled worker that has to stay home with my son until I finish college and it will be the best years that I am with the baby and we are trying as of september 2006 to get preggers again, that will allow both of to have the summer off to get the baby set up for day care since my wife is a teacher and I will be, (technology specialist) for pasco county school board.

Dads step up tp the plate and look at your children as your children not thier mothers kids and your expense.

Amen! My hubby takes a very active role in our son's life. Even though my parents were married the whole time I was growing up, my dad practically raised up. He spent alot of quality time with us. That is why we all have such a good relationship. I wouldn't want to be with a man that was just there to sit in his lay-z-boy and "discipline" the children. My hubby and I both (as a team, the way it should be) raise our son. I can guarentee our son won't be the one on the sheriff's log in the newspaper....Lol!
