Dads are not like Moms. They cannot be. They tend to have a different way of thinking on all subjects of life, and when it comes to kids, they simply do not have the ‘Mommy Brain’.

They are more secure and rooted in their life, with clear goals and ambitions. That should be enough motivation for fathers to get more involved with their kids, shouldn’t it be so?
It is not just the mother’s duty to discipline the children and teach them how to behave. Fathers are equally responsible for administering discipline to their children. Due to the fast pace of life, demanding jobs and lack of time, fathers today are less involved with their kids and do not share the same amount of parenting duties as mothers. Generally, when kids misbehave or do something that they should not have done then fathers leave it up to the mothers to administer discipline to the child. This may be because they do not feel connected enough to the child due to the fact that they are unable to spend as much time with them as their mothers.
