Should Males Get The Rights To Their Kids?

Then one day I never heard from him again. He never called, wouldnt answer his phone, moved away form his house, and he didnt leave any clue as to where he is. He basically just disapeared from my life.

About 5 months ago he called me out of nowhere. He'd just gotten out of jail in St. Petersburg and said he'd come see me but he never showed up. *shrug*

He recently died of lung cancer. Man, I just love happy endings. 😊

Nope they arent, the parent of said bullies are responsible and that can be 2 parent families as well as single parent families.

If the father is better able to take care of the child I'd say yes he should have primary custody. However if you have joint custody and you are adults about it, there is no reason single parents cant raise a happy healthy child. ✅

indeed so

If they kept on fighting I'm sure one of them would leave...

When I was just a kid, like four, my mother passed away so that left just me, my Dad, and my twin-brother. Shortly afterwards my oldest brother moved out and my Dad got a girlfriend which developed into marrige. I don't really get along with her as much as I'd like to so that's when my life kind of fell apart. Then my mother came back and started haunting our house, now that was spooky!

Same here. When I was 6 my dad just sort of took off. He moved into this big-ass house in South Amsterdam with his new girlfriend. But he still sent us money and he allowed me to visit about twice a year. Financially he took care of me (nevermind that my mom used all the money for her heroin habit). But then when I was 13 my mom OD'd and from then on I never heard from him again. When I needed him the most to look after me he just sort of disappeared.

Aw Slipknot 🙁 There, there hug

I hate my Dad...and my step-mum...

I'll admit, I didn't read the entire thread...I'm short on time. But the answer to the question is yes. Men should have a right to decide the fate of the child they helped to create. I'm not gonna cite god as a source for my opinion, but the man has as much to do with the conception of a child as the woman...unless god interceeds, of course. 🙄

Equal rights for women? These days, in this country, it seems that women have little to complain about.

I mean you see all these bullies in schools in the UK then ever before. One of the reasons being that single parents are bringing up their children. But that would all change if the father had the child as the father is the authority figure in a family and kids would learn discipline as opposed to care that doesnt work eaily and kids disobey their mothers and become thugs and gang members? So whats up with that?

So single mothers are to blame for gang's? Somehow and senselessly that sounds about right.

Are you ****ing kidding me? Besides the fact that 9 times out of 10 I have noticed that women "wear the pants" in a family, and the father is little more than a nutered version of the children, single parent families are NOT the cause of gangs or gang violence. I think that's one of the most assanine comparissons I've ever heard.

Well I am with my dad almost full time because I could not stand my mom and my sister does not even have to go to her house according to the court.
So I rule in favor in my case of the father.However the judge in most cases favors the mother.Not sure why.JM

Because mothers have breasts...they produce milk? I dunno? You tell us, you seem to be the exception to the rule that mothers are chosen to raise the children. You should be telling us why your father was chosen over your mother.

Yeah... Dads are just awesome. 😐 🙁

To be honest, I really don't see how being raised by a single parent will turn kiddies into thugs and bullies, but whatever. But yeah, men should have equal rights where their children are concerned.

Because single mothers will need halp with things when life gets too stressful, when a child disobeys an order and the order is not avenged, then the kid will think its acceptible to do something against what an authority figure has said hence they will start thinking its acceptible to disobey the law therefore becomming criminals/thugs etc...
