Laura King's recent
research on 'Active Fatherhood' in Britain is a refreshing paper to read, depicting
a more balanced positive view on the male paternalistic representation, in a
more positive light, as a caring and loving father. It is comforting to read
that indeed majority of men, once married or in a serious long term
relationship, are in fact very much keen, when the time comes, to fully enjoy and proudly assume fatherhood status. A cherished position even more appreciated once having
babies becomes a more desired and wanted yearning, rather than a regrettable error
in counting or an unfortunate moment lost under the spell! Many men
indeed do take their responsibilities as fathers very seriously, and thank god
for those!
