ON THE FORUMS:
- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE ON THE FATHER LIFE? (Reply posted by Fatherville), “I agree with Ppettit and would especially like to see a monthly article on how does church or faith play into a dad's or family's life. This would be of great interest to me. One of the biggest challenges I have as a Christian father is how best to pass on the legacy of my faith to my children so that when they are older they can take ownership of their beliefs. I trust that the life my wife and I lead and the values that we instill will be significant enough to firmly ground them. But it's always helpful to find new ways of passing this on to our children.” Click Here to Join the Discussion...

ON THE FORUMS:

- "A MANLY MAN" -vs- "A CARING FATHER" ? (Posted By: Captain John. Re: TIME Magazine article ‘Fatherhood 2.0.’) - "It's an interesting article, but I am getting tired of studies that conclude that it is 'wrong' or 'unhealthy' to be a man or behave in ways that men do... The feminine has become the standard to which beahvior is compared to, rather than taking a gender neutral approach. For example, "Men are insensitive," tends to be the accepted position, rather than "Men are less sensitive to certain things than women. But the article is correct in its stance that concepts of manhood are changing. I would prefer that men be the ones to define it, rather than women make that decision for us.”
