Bonding - The Attachment Theory - Fathers' Rights

Let Me talk to you about attachment and bonding i had a huge attachment to my dad..Closest bond you would ever get..I got called a jealous possesive..I got ridiculed...The man that did this to me will never know what his missed and he has missed alot..

What a graet video.
I'm living in feminism-Iceland. Here many parents marry young and divorce fast and many have alchol problems, like in all Scandinavian countries. I know a case in which the alcoholic mum got the children and the father all the debts... And it goes very often like that.
It is painful to see how little respect there is for the role of the father in the family every time again.
I am a female, study Pedagogy and Psychology.

Yes this is phenomenal critique. I am in a class called Chemical Dependency and the family. Bowlby was referenced re; attachment which brought me back to Piaget and earlychildhood connections. Great to hear a critique of Bowlby in the other clip. Dads are as important as moms. Rutter has some great insight on this - never trust the experts carte blanche! Also, Bowlby WAS a stuffed shirt, despite his self perception. This is obvious.

Jayonesgirl,

I think your comment sums it up very well.

Also I am a great admirer of the work of Rutter.

Many thanks,

Hello,

this is a great video and very valuable information.

I think children do need fathers the same way as they need mothers. And fathers do have the same right -and the same obligation- to have proximity with their children.

It is important to campaign this in society and politics. For example our German constitution -while social oriented and democratic- explicitly grants special protection to mothers only.

Christian,

German law is very interesting because it is based even more on the Bowlby principle than our own in the UK.

As a result it has fallen foul to the European Court on a number of occasions.

Thank you for your comment.

Yours etc

"And fathers do have the same right"

Well technically they don't but should. I'm saying it's possible to get joint or sole custody but the odds are stacked against you heavily.

Men deserve equal rights to children period. It is stupid to base this right on if they do housework.

Fathers right of access to children is not based on what the mother or women want(i.e. if she is satisfied that he has done enough housework to earn it), it is based on the fact that this is what is right for children and what is best for THEM.

I am so sick of selfish women who talk about fathers rights as if it is a privilege.

Get over yourself and stop hindering what is best for the child

This is great information for all to see and learn!!!!!!!!!

Agree with your response here.. what an awful prospect, that gave me a cold shudder when i read the comment about modern absudity child/mom/dad.
I would almost guarantee he does not have kids (here you go folks you can bring em up)
I found that quite disturbing (nowt queer as folk eh)?
And i suppose each to their own opinion and all that
