[align=center]A famous Psychologist called Bowlby once said that the role of a Father in a family is useless in terms of attachment and bonding, the father is there to simply benefit and help the mother with money and recources.

 

Do you agree or disagree, do families work well without fathers just as well with, or do you think that without a father and extra working relative, you could equally have a good life. Also are you closer to your father or your mother, and why?[/align]

 

My views are as follows;

I grew up in a single parent family, I never formed an attachment with my father, so my opinion is limited and one-sided. But I agree that a family can work without a father, but without a working mother or other working relative (which I had none of), the family can often be poor and struggle through into legal help.

well I live will my mom but I see my dad some times. Ya a mom can do what a father can do

 

True, I never see my father, but I believe a family can function without a father, or without a mother for that matter, women can do what men can do, except for the gender specialities.

Personally, I don't agree with that theory.

I get along well and have a great relationship with my father and I doubt I would be able to live a happy life without both my parents and I don't think they'll be able to do the same without each other.

My family seems to all rely and take care of each other and wouldn't be able tp live without one another.

 

However, this is just my family and all families are different. Some people would agree with the theory from their experience with their family and others would disagree for the same reason.

Well yeah you're right, all families are different, I disagree partly with Bowlby, sure you can still work without a father, but the security of 2 parents is useful for having a more full life and to build up a more stable and decent role model for the child.

 

Seeing as I lacked a father figure to take as a role model, I turned to musicians to get role models, I figured this out when I was asked why I don't listen to female musicians, my favourite band is Rammstein, and Till Lindemann is my role model, weirdly enough as it is, I find myself copying his stage characteristics but also his cool personality. It's odd, cos he's not actually related or part of my family at all, were in separate countries, yet he brings a smile to my face, perverted I know >_>

Well still, dads are more rough work durable, they do all the handywork.

 

I think of it like cavemen or other wild animals, the woman would guard the child and give breast milk etc, the father would go out and hunt for the food, and build shelters etc.
