When you go to any kids park its pretty normal to find just one parent
(Mostly Mothers) being with the kids.
Even on a weekend this is a normal sight.
Now the normal reasoning would be that the Father is at work and so
does not find time to be with the kids.
Is this really true ?
Most Mothers always has to bear the responsibility of working as well

as looking after the family.

This trend has been driven down into our system and we have started
accepting this culture. I am really sorry to say but i have seen more
men walk dogs on the street then being with their kids
in the park (I hope i am wrong in my stats).
If you ask any kid they would prefer their dad be with them
and play with them at least once a week.

Its very common among animals where the mother looks after her young
and the father just protects the family.
But as humans we must realize that our kids need the love , affection
and attention of both parents. So all our male counterparts needs
to rise up to the challenge and be more proactive towards our kids.
I would love to see our parks filled with kids playing with both
parents and having a great time.

I can understand that being with a kid and understanding them
is a very responsible job. You have to become one of them to really
understand their feelings. Most men may say that this is not
our cup of tea and try to get round this.
But believe me that once you get to understand your kids it
will change the way you look at life and you would want to
spend more time with them.

" The more time you spend with your kid when they are small the less
time you will need to spend when they become adults."
This message has a good meaning inside it.
The more time you are with your little one's and teach them all the
important aspects of life and give them valuable tips from the
experience you have gained the more responsible your kids get when
they grow up. If kids grows up with the proper kind of up bringing
they should be able to with stand the hardships which will come
ahead of them. You have to understand that once your little grows
older they would be spending less time with you and that they
would have to face the world alone and that's the time all the teachings
which you have installed in them would be handy.

I also feel and pray for the kids who are with living with single parent.
I salute such parents as they have a great dual responsibility
before them.

Regards and love to all
God Bless
