[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting factoid: A couple hundred years ago, an orphan was someone who'd lost their father. Maybe still the same in some cultures where children are viewed as "property" of their father.[/quote] I dont thinks b/c they were viewed as "property' more that they were their fathers responsibility and even in the present day, financially and materially. life gets harder if you lose a father than if you lose a mother. I know a lot of people who continue to live in the same home, go to etc same school etc who lose their moms but many more people end up having to move and rearrange there lives if their dads die.
