Absent Father v. Available Mother

Twelfth, Higher Education, Staff - TeachersPayTeachers.com

The absent father can be described as a physical absence from the child’s life, intentional abandonment or failure to provide support. It is the deprivation of necessary attention that makes a child suffer and feel he/she does not have all the support needed. A father who has no contact with his child for at most four months or thereabout is an absent father. The justification of the absent father may be plentiful, but so are the consequences against his children. I am not judging or criticizing men in this situation. A child with the absent father should be encouraged to talk about his/her feelings, express their mind in an honest manner when speaking with his parents.
In some cases, the father should not be blamed. The cause of his absenteeism needs to be considered. Being honest with the child is expedient because a child could develop deep hatred for his father rather than to seek help when and where necessary to resolve issues. They need to reconnect the children back to their absent father cannot be over-emphasized.
The absence of the father in a child’s life causes depression. If this is not resolved it leads to sadness for both father and children.
The actions of absent fathers are more than twice as likely to commit suicide.
Available mother
Two experiences make me want to talk about available mother. The first experience is the spate of wayward and disrespectful children in the community nowadays. These miscreants are also growing at an alarming rate. These days we found that many mothers have abandoned their children and family because of the pursuits of money. Such mothers cannot be described as available mother. It is not enough to complain about the rot in the society, we must find the root cause and tackle it. The Christian home is blessed with available mother. Available mothers work tirelessly to build their homes. She is easily available and found around her children.
