In todays society, there are many single mothers and it seems to be socially acceptable.So here is the question, Do you think fathers are important in a child's life?

Does a child without a father grow up the same as a child with a father?

Are fathers as important now as they were in the 1950's?In the 1950's the world was much different the divorce rate was much lower then now a days, A father was a crucial being in a childs development.Fathers/husbands were leaders sort to speak where as women were the housewifes.

In 2002 we have working women, single mothers.Are fathers as crucial as they were in the 1950's?
