[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a great idea. And I'm female. I believe children would benefit if fathers shared more child rearing. You're not a father if you have the kids one weekend a month. [/quote]

Ideally, yes.

In reality? Not every man is a good father. There needs to be flexibility. My sister is divorced. Her husband, while a nice man, is not capable of being a 50% parent. He just is not. His idea of spending time with his son is going to a park and spending the entire time on his phone while the kid runs around or sits around, bored. And he's clueless on so many things about childrearing and what's appropriate or not appropriate for children. And will always be. That's just who he is. It would hurt the child if he was forced to spend 50% of his time with his father and would probably make their relationship more difficult.

And I say the same for some mothers too. There has to be a system that allows courts to award majority custody to one parent over the other because that's the best for the child. [/quote]

Women THINK men are incapable of child-rearing just because they go about it in different ways. Maybe the child doesn’t need to be pecked over 24/7, hmm? Anyways, widowers, single fathers, and gay fathers manage to raise perfectly well-adjusted children. Give the men a chance and stop being so stodgy.
