Well if fathers cannot provide guidance, then they fail. Mothers usually provide the love and comfort, but fathers usually are the ones that teach kids how to think properly. This was the good old tradition, but with woman lib and the single-mother family, kids are grown up without a proper bearing.
That's the simple beauty of the traditional family: children need to grow up with both discipline and compassion. There is a time and a place for both, and seeing two parents who are different people, working together in their complementary ways, is the healthiest way to teach a child how society must work.
