I don't know if it's only in this part of the world but from what I have seen, it's becoming very difficult to find someone who had a great bond with his father while growing up.
I understand that the father is the breadwinner of the home and that this demands that he work very hard to provide for the financial needs of the family. I also know that because of the nature of most work our fathers do, it doesn't give them that much chance to become available for the emotional, psychological, and the rendering of certain discipline to their children, but I think this shouldn't be enough reason why they will not bond with their kids once in a while.
I grew up in a house where my dad was always busy with work to the point where we only see him three times a year and because he feels he has been sending money across for upkeep, he doesn't seem bothered that the kids have missed the role of a father in there lives.
I also know so many youths that we grew up together that had similar and some, worse off experiences growing up with their parents, and now that we've grown and some of us have started a family of our own, some have started repeating this circle in their homes.
How do we balance the part of providing finance for the home and the responsibility of being there for our children as a father?
Abi if we de provide for the financial need of our homes, e mean to say we don fulfill our role as fathers?
This talk na 💯 percent true and I dey think am say why e be like that...I watch one video of graduating students wen them ask who Dem love pass between father and mother...all of them say mother..I come dey like wetin the father's dey do...most of the fathers no be because say them dey work hard to provide for the family...most of them feel say na mother duty to bond with the children... Everytime go meet your mother and children always go to who gives them listening ears
