and not just for the paycheck.

Many statistics support the idea that increasing the number of responsible fathers that play an active role in their children’s lives would solve or at least reduce many major problems existing in our country today.

How do we get men and moreso young men to see fatherhood as their responsibility/duty?

Why is it that fatherhood and husbandry is rarely ever stressed upon men? I’m not solely talking about at home. Although, ultimately prepraration begins at home, without dispute. Even in FLE the responsibility of motherhood was stressed upon the girls, but hardly was fatherhood stressed on the boys. They may mention the occasional “Young men, you need to be responsible for your children”, but it usually ends there. Especially since it is so much easier for men to walk away, one would think that society took more advantage of a man’s youthful years. Training him for the duties and responsibilities of fatherhood and husbandry.

The media also neglects fatherhood and husbandry. Most shows that appeal to men portray bachelors or “goof offs”. Rarely does the media emphasize the importance of fatherhood and husbandry.

Wouldn’t there be much less single mothers if men were raised for the great responsibility of fatherhood and husbandry? Wouldn’t it also make men more mature in general?
The idea that, historically, men did not participate in the home and with their children is completely farse. That is certainly a modern neglegence. Throughout history fathers have often played huge roles in the upbringing of their children. Other than just as provider and protector.

Of course, I’m sure feminism has made sure that isn’t taught in school, but that is another topic.
