If women who want a divorce aknowledge that children need fathers as well, what good do they think?

Question

a father that lives outside the home and sees the children only once a week will do to them ?

Answer 1

Read a psyche textbook. It will tell you that children do just as good in single parent homes as with both parent homes.  

Answer 2

If you look at the gynocentric answers you have gotten so far it is plainly visible how women disregard fathers and access to their children.

Note how they continue to lay blame on the fathers.

Bobby and Proffessor both clearly lay blame on men.

But what they are ignoring is the fact that women are just as likely to be abusive yet they get custody more or that women cheat too yet when a man leaves a relationship or files for divorce they consider it abandoning the family.

I know a lot of guys who's wives left them because the wife had to "go find herself" or because she "didn't know who she was anymore"

Or other B.S. reasons.

Women don't file for divorce so much more often for altruistic reasons they do it because they are not ever satisfied with what they have they always need more.  

Answer 3

there's a big difference between a father and a sperm donor.  women who want a divorce typically feel the husband/father isn't good enough for the children either which is why they don't stay 'for the children's sake' much anymore.  The bar has been raised fellas ~

Answer 4

I don't know Cass...perhaps the same as men (fathers) think when they want a divorce.

Answer 5

Quantity does not always equal quality.     Many men ignore their children while living in the same home- and most men manage to maintain daily contact with their children regardless of marital status.  

Answer 6

Socially a good father is simply an ATM machine for most people. If a man has multiple children, the first thing people wonder is if he can provide for them financially. Despite what kind of a man or father he is , he'll be labeled a deadbeat by law and society if he is struggling financially. Not the case with a single mother, she is simply hard-working and noble.

Often times women use their children as pawns against the men for revenge, arguments over money, etc. Many fathers are denied access to their children simply on the mothers' wishes. If a man backs away from the situation, then people want to remind him that it's not the children's fault but again the same doesn't apply to the mothers. Men are simply expected to deal with it. Most people pay lip service, but the role of father is simply not respected or regarded as highly.

Answer 7

Please don't tell me you are suggesting that a woman stay married only for the good of the children!

And who says a divorced dad only gets to see his kids once a week?

Parents who really care will find a way to work out a divorce that's best for everyone involved.

Answer 8

Two thirds of all divorces are made by women. They usually do it for reasons that are bout themselves and not their children. They mostly do it with out thinking of the long term damage. They are reacting more than thinking.

I try to tell them that the institution of divorce is oversold and does not solve their problems, but they ignore me.

Answer 9

What good does it do for them to have a father living with them who is unfaithful, abusive, mean, alcoholic, controlling, etc.?   Sometimes this is the case, and they may be better off without all the strife.  I know this is not always true, but a bad marriage causes problems for the children, also.

Answer 10

what good is it for the kids to have the parents fighting all the time?
