>>I am having a little trouble understanding why men cannot simply be good husbands and fathers because it is
THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!

I've been pondering this at some length, because I anticipate receiving straightforward questions on right&wrong from my daughter. I'm finding that describing ethics, and what IS the right thing, is awful hard if I'm trying to chart a course away from the myriad religions which surround us. Any religion's greatest tangible contribution is the provision of an external moral code. Makes Daddy's job trivial: "This is God's will".
I'm resigning myself to the idea that I won;t have any easy answers for Youngster, but will have to wax solomonic on a case-by-case basis.

>>Because a real
man doesn't show up in his wife's face full of anguish.

Amazed dissent. If anguish is the order of the day, a real man clues his wife in (assuming he thinks of her as a partner). 'Nuff said; I don't want you to have to dodge a volley of 'sterone-soaked bullets.
