Fathers can do just about anything! Say if something hap happened to the mother (god hope it does not) but a father can take the role as a mother to a certain extent! Many have done this. I believe all fathers should change diapers and the rest of what needs to be done when the child is growing up, just like the mother, maybe change up once in a while it's good for them! A child really needs both but not every situation is the same.
Lonely1: We all know the role of mothers: they love, cherish, and protect their kids.
They carry them in their womb for 9+ months and endure the problems that goes with child birth. They bathe them, dress them, make their breakfast, lunch and dinner, and tucks them in at nights. They help them in school, help them through their growing years and even when they are adults.
They are at their weddings, their graduations, and also at their funerals. They bail them out of jail, teach them to cook, and to clean house
They are always there, except for the really bad ones, that I will not bother to include.
But what is the true roles of fathers? Some say they are the same as moms. Is that really true, or are our parents roles based on gender? Are kids who were brought up by their mother only at a disadvantage? What about those who were brought up by their fathers only?
Inquiring minds want to know.
A father's role is vital in the life of a child. It is a pitty that the family court system doesn't recognise this. My experience is that a father is guilty of the most horrendous things on the sayso of some deluded ex without trial by the family court. My case in hand. My daughter wanted to be with me, so i was fighting false DVOs, claimes of cross-dressing, even being a psychotic schizophrenic. Yes, I had the medical records to show that my ex was some of these things, but what did the court say "I'm not a doctor, so I couldn't present this stuff to the court", but hey, whatever she said was readily admitted and accepted without question.
A good father's role is vital for children, and no matter how old they are, sooner or later the majority will want that relationship (and seek it out) that they missed out on when they were younger as a result of the selfish acts of some women.
my mother taught me nothing. she was a god awful woman. my dad practically raised us. he worked hard to give us everything we wanted. he took days off work when she would argue and move out to look after us. he would collect us from school when we were sick, he attended school meetings, he supported us with homework where she did not. he is the most amazing person i know and any man i know that is a father is equally, if not more amazing then any mother!

For a Son: teaching him the truth about women and the difference between what people say and what they do. The difference between morality and reality.
For a Daughter: belittling the little thug she brings home, sowing the seeds of doubt in her mind without expressly forbidding him from seeing him - because she'd do the opposite.

A father's role is to be a good if not gr8 parent, regardless of what chore belongs to which parent IMO
A good parent will never think, feel or act in a way that puts the other parent above or below him/herself in front of the child (no matter how bad the other parent might be behaving.) Kids have an natural ability or instinct if you like, to know when you are above creating dramas and just getting with the job of being a gr8 parent and leave egos at the door
