[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 652300, member: 1550"] Jabs, in your case that is true. But it isn't always the case. There are many neglectful mothers and abuse is most often at the hands of mothers. I did foster care and most of the kids ended up there because of abusive and neglectful mothers on drugs. There are many neglectful moms these days with work and divorce and "I have to be good to ME and my kids will have to deal with it" attitudes. While I agree with the latter once the kids are grown, I really don't think that this is appropriate thinking with minor/young children. Also, while dads tend to be tougher on male kids, I know both of my husbands (haha...soap opera "All My Husbands"...there have only been two) were far more worried about their daughters than their sons. I don't think either could have detached from girl child. [/QUOTE]
