Despite the obvious falsehood in the story, if a father did this - left his wife and children to focus on himself - I can't help but feel that the same author would be on him like white on rice. That's always been a beef with me and the feminist movement. No problem with equal rights. But there's been a part of it that has always embraced the idea of 'equality whenever convinient.' And this story illustrates that like no other I've seen.David Griffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629314279592541401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-17449253389868563942011-03-07T11:42:57.034-05:002011-03-07T11:42:57.034-05:00You are both so right.

This is after the mom has decided to be a mom. It make me as a mom sick. Oh I have teenagers and sometimes it seems like I could just throw them out on the street for the way they are talking or behaving, but within only minutes I am hugging them or sitting and having a conversation with them about something they need from me - Mom. I can't imagine life without being with them on a daily basis. <br />Mothers are truely a needed part of every child's life just like fathers are a needed part of every child's life. <br />God created us to be in partnership and have certain roles etc. <br /><br />I pray this is not a trend and is really just an incident that was found by some author who is not a mother.deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320102107597835487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-25582401142276536992011-03-05T12:56:17.207-05:002011-03-05T12:56:17.207-05:00Heck, our sick society even trashes dads who DO be...Heck, our sick society even trashes dads who DO behave as good fathers. Look at how fathers and men in general are portrayed in pretty much every TV show or movie as hapless buffoons who are basically useless and worse. There are legions of women who see fathers as "optional", and then they wonder why so many men start to agree.Zillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284986414729616917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-55495172428354228242011-03-05T12:40:15.472-05:002011-03-05T12:40:15.472-05:00I look for your post on it, having a better POV th...I look for your post on it, having a better POV than I. I saw several things worth noting. But for me it was that little slip in sentence about how men apparently can just up and leave willy-nilly and nobody cares. Last I heard, they were treated like scum of all scum in our culture. That almost makes me think the author really thinks this isn't that great, but hates the thought of saying it.David Griffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629314279592541401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-55132743420325995942011-03-05T12:27:54.104-05:002011-03-05T12:27:54.104-05:00Excellent observations, Dave.

My web searching about this mostly led to places that were enthusiastic about this "my children are disposable" attitude we're seeing but I pressed on trying to find others who feel as I do, that it is wrong, and I happily stumbled onto your piece. Thank you for being a voice of reason, I will be quoting from & linking to you when I write my piece, I'll send you the link once it's finished. <br /><br />Did you see the part in that article about the other lady? She opted out of parenting and left the kids completely, only emailing and phoning it in, and glorifies it to the point that she now bills herself as a "spiritual leader"! That was even more disturbing than what the writer had done, at least the first one would be able to kiss the kids once in a while...Zillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284986414729616917noreply@blogger.com
