The father's role in raising children is often subjugated in many countries (as here in Brazil), as if the son only needed the mother to grow up. A very big mistake (something rooted in society) that is only better understood when the child depends only on the father (in many families where the father is single).

Naturally (for obvious reasons), a mother has a stronger connection with her children ... However, "neglecting" the importance of the father in this process of raising children is something very wrong and that can reflect (negatively) on the future of children.

Great post, @trostparadox.
