Fathers

One of the weeks we talked about Fathers and how important they are. Now there are some people now a days that are saying that Fathers aren't needed to much and that people can raise a family by themselves! Well there is a lot of research that says otherwise! One of  the research results  was that  children who grow up with out a father in the home have a lower income and live in poverty.  Having a father in the home is the best way to fight  against poverty! This was something that was really interesting to me to think about  how fathers are able to help fight against family poverty.Another thing is that fathers provide a role in the family which is vital to the upbringing of  families fathers have  the role of presiding, providing and protecting. They are also their to help the mother to raise their children. I am grateful for my Father and for the things he did for  the family. He was also there to help teach us things about how we should act and be like. I also think that when a man becomes a father I think there is something in him that just wants the best for the child and is willing to sacrifice. There is a saying that when a man becomes married I think he is closer to being more of a man, but I think that when he gets his  first child I think he matures more and becomes more unselfish because of the children that need him. I am grateful for all the father figures that have been in my life I know that because of their example I want to be the best father I can be, but my main example of  trying to be a good dad is my own Dad and all  the sacrifices he has done for me and my siblings.
