Interesting Read

I came across this while researching W. Bradford Wilcox in preparation for an upcoming La Leche League Couples Meeting that I'll be leading : IAV Child Tragedies: Missing Marriage Commentary by W. Bradford Wilcox .
Here's a quote of his from another editorial from him "Why do fathers matter to children? Fathers typically bring an extra pair of hands, an extra set of kin, and extra income to the child-rearing enterprise, not to mention extra concern for the child's well-being. They also perform better than mothers when it comes to disciplining their children--especially their sons. Finally, fathers who are in good marriages with the mothers of their children implicitly teach girls to expect respect from members of the opposite sex, and boys to treat girls and women with respect."
