Traditional roles of a father dictate that fathers act in a protective, supportive and responsible way towards their children. There are many fathers who believe that once the child is born, their role is over. He might pay the bills on time, he might supply the food and money, and he might provide for the family. However, if he does not even know his children, know their likes and dislikes, or what is going on with them, at school or personally, chances are the children will not consider him to be their dad.
Dad is a term of affection and familiarity. A dad fulfills all the responsibilities associated with the role, personal as well as societal and cultural.
The dad may or may not be the biological father. He denied having made my mum pregnant and he travelled to the states. I searched and found him for 28yrs he has never come back. I used to call him dad but he recently told me that I should call him father not dad. It hurts why he had to tell me that. Name required. Email required.

With a father, his work stops at conception, and he will rarely care about the child in the future. A father thinks that his children owe him something, especially if he put in some effort and spent money raising them. Instead, he makes sure that his actions make his children want to be around him without being coerced or threatened. A dad sees his children as actual people with agency and their own thought processes.
They choose to be selfish over being selfless. In many cases I get that the mother and child truly would be better off without the father in their lives. I would argue that the trend in fathers abandoning their children and choosing to not participate compelled the courts in this country to pass laws or at least have some sort of unwritten preference that attempted to protect the rights of the child, and to some extent, the mothers that were left to raise the child on their own.
But what about when a father decides to also be a dad? What about when a father has to be a dad? I am a dad to two boys, but sometimes, I feel like a second-class parent. I think a lot of involved dads share this feeling with me. I understand that women carry the child, give birth and, more often than the father, raise the child solo.
