It is definitely an interesting topic and one that has consumed a good deal of my resources being raised by only a mother. But you are right and a good deal has to do with the overall environment. And I am not sure of your age, but our parents did things a bit differently. I think our generation in general is more self conscious of what we are doing and it reflects in our parenting. But it is still instilled in me that a father is pretty pointless and I think at times it reflects unconsciously and consciously in my parenting.
