Good grief, people. It's a generalization. You know what that is, don't you?

I put it to you that most men who are at this website are quite a bit more in tune with themselves and relationships than the average joe out there. I've certainly seen my share of men who duck and run when it's time to turn their nurture button on.

I know lots of men who aren't on this forum who are great dad's! They live, eat, breath their kids just as their mothers do.

My son's father isn't one of them...but my daughters father is...well was...until the OW came into the picture. He has his moment's and he tries his best when he's allowed.

I honestly can't think of one dad that I personally know that isn't a nurturing father. Both of my brothers are very involved dad's...my oldest brother is a mentor to alot of the area kids, including my son. In fact, in a few weeks is my son's Senior Recognition for football and knowing that his father will probably not bother to be there we have already discussed having my dad and two brothers stand in for his father as they have been the ones to teach him all the "man" stuff.

btw....I do agree with AGG that mothers may tend to be more nurturing when they are newborns...
