Being macho is more than being MACHO...

if the sole purpose for a man in child rearing was to supply sperm, then sperm banks would have replaced families ages ago. the truth is, we all recognise he unique role of a 'daddy'.

a study by family researcher once reveal that children with absent dads TEND to have trouble getting along with others. they are also more likely to run away from home, and are at a greater risk of suffering physically, emotionally or sexual abuse.

when you think about it, there must be a reason why it takes both man and a woman to bring a child into this world. each plays a unique upbringing and irreplaceable role in the child's upbringing. how is the dad approach distint from mum's?

i've read an article once on how father's impart their greatest life's lessons to their little ones - the man's way...

simply put it, its not really that easy to be a father. we do share the 'burden' or should i say the joy of bringing up your little ones to be someone that both of us wished for.

given a choice, men would love to just leave the bringing up part to the woman, cos its what they do best. but, being men, i believed that men are simple, high energy; they play hard and work hard. men are responsible.
