On the occasion of the upcoming Vietnamese Women’s Day, let’s listen to the topic …. Fathers with the introduction from admin Thu Hằng

. Everyone thinks about what reasons there are for men to want to give up their free-spirited life to come to a home filled with diapers and the cries of hunger every night?

Perhaps it is a STAGE IN LIFE when they have a house, a stable job, and now is the time to have a small family beside them. Some men ADMIT that they are not very KEEN ON having children, but their partner wants that, so they GO ALONG WITH their wives. People often say ‘happy wife, happy life, many children must be written

, ‘the wife is the truth of life’ right, everyone?

In addition, there is another reason that they want to UNDO WHAT THEIR FATHER DID TO THEM, to REWRITE HISTORY about father-son relationships, so when they become fathers, they will know how to treat and love their children. Some fathers are NEGLECTFUL, or ABSENT, spending little time with their children.

Fathers in the 50s were usually quite DISTANT, DISCIPLINARIAN, controlling their children with STRICT RULES and even PUNISHING if the child did something wrong.

Fortunately, now the thoughts about being a father have changed a lot. People think more maturely and responsibly about raising children, trying to be HANDS-ON with their children, understanding them better, caring more so that children can feel the love not only from their mother but also from their father.
