If you assemble about 100 children/adults and ask them to say something about their parents, about 80% of them will definitely speak about mothers and about 20% (if possible) will speak about fathers.
I have been wondering for too long about why this is so but these are what I came up with.
Some fathers barely have time for their children and this is quite understandable as he has to meet up with the responsibility to ensure that the family does not lack anything.
He has to work for 5 days every week, if possible 6 days in a week. He goes to work early and comes back late. By the time he arrives from work, the children are already in the bed sleeping. The only day he might be around, let's say on a Sunday, he might want to hang out with couple of friends so they can chill out.
Most children tend to feel more comfortable with their mother than their father because she's always around them. The child might begin to feel his father do not really care about him/her but that's not true. He sincerely loves you and if it were to be in his power, he would love to spend the whole 24 hours with you but if he does that, he is going to be in big trouble as the bills will pile up anyhow.
Fathers get little or no credit which is quite bad ☹️ and most times, I just feel for them. They struggle alot and get just little credit. There are several days in which mothers are being celebrated in the world but for fathers, I think it's just a day or so.
I feel the pains every father go through. I know it's not easy but it is what it is.
Let's try to spend some quality time with our children with the little time we have. Yes, it may not be easy but we can still try to do so.
What do you think about this?

Both parents should have the same admiration and credit! They are both doing their jobs to be the best parents in the world, or maybe just most of them. I love this kind of topic you published!
