oh i mean it’s pretty common for parents to attend thatA play
obviously if your kid sees all their friend’s with their fathers after the play and they don’t see their own father they will be upset and feel neglected.

Yep, but most sensible men are active in their children’s lives particular the younger Somali
fathers. We’ve all seen the repercussions of men who think like that and we’ve all seen how mass incarceration and being a ‘roadman’ has impacted the kids of our community. We’ve all seen how some of our kids have behavioral problems in their earlier years since abo isn’t around and some Somali hooyos struggle. All of that has contributed to a lost generation of boys who haven’t been able to achieve at the level that they should. You even see this issue, but on a grander scale in the madow community and that isn’t a community we want to learn from.

Even mothers sometimes miss some events. That isn’t the point. We’re talking about making sure you attend as much as possible.My most important job as a father is to provide for and support my family. I have more important things to deal with than be there at every single of my kids events.
i mean even as adults if it’s our birthday for example and your friends always miss your birthday you’ll not think they’re your real friends or that they don’t care about you, if that’s how an adult feels imagine a child.Walahi it's heartbreaking, because children always scan the crowd for their family. They really need that moral support and without it, it really hurts. You'd have to be a real loser not to show up for your baby during scary moments like that.

Who advocated for any sort of parental abandonment? You are really stuck in the polar extremes, a multi millionaire father is too busy to go to a “recital” and I commented on that, stop putting words in my mouth.Studies show that children that have active fathers in their lives have higher reading levels, better socialization, better control and impulse levels and the list goes on.

Make up your minds, one minute you blame feminism for the increase in single parent households and then in the next breath you advocate for single parent set ups. Kids that don’t have active fathers are no different to kids from single parent households.
So what do you want?
kids remember little things forever.

I find the mental gymnastics to justify this hilarious. The idea of fathers not being around was due to men working 12 hr shifts in a dangerous mine, going off to battle or a back-breaking round of factory work.FACTS!
That's why you will see angry and insecure adults, they were never protected and supported during their formative years.
watching all their happy friends run into their parents arms whilst they’re just standing on their ownIt's really scary to think about the fact that these pure beings come into earth, the closest thing to Angels and then they are broken by the hands of lazy, abusive, neglectful, callous "parents".
"Where is Aabbo/Hooyo? Scans crowd... "I guess I don't matter!".

We’re not talking about abandonment. We’re talking about active vs non active fathers.You are really stuck in the polar extremes, a multi millionaire father is too busy to go to a “recital” and I commented on that, stop putting words in my mouth

i remember a lot of the kids used to go to their friends parents even
cadaan parents are very good imma be real we immigrants need to take note from them
White privilege is real, but putting that to the side for a bit, educated middle class cadaans tend to have articulate, confident and better behaved kids and all of that is in line with the data and studies that show that active fathers increase that.cadaan parents are very good imma be real we immigrants need to take note from them
i was at the car park the other day and there was a homeless man sitting on the floor, i saw this cadaan lady and her 5 year old child walk past them. then she gave some money to her child and told him to give the poor man some money and then talked to the child about charity and helping the poor. i never see a somali parent that involved with their child.
