| Article: Taking the Time |

** Apologies - I've been away, and this is the first time I've been back in the tech-land ** Thanks to John Lew for sending this through, below is a link to an article that appeared in The Australian on the 20 October. It highlights research shows Australian fathers spend around 1 minute a day alone with their kids each day, from Monday to Friday. Reading the article, the quote that stuck out to me by Dr Craig of the Uni of NSW was this: "It's a woman's job and a man's hobby. And it stays basically the same regardless of the amount of work women do in the paid workforce." What a condemnation of father's in Australia. As Christians, how do we raise Christian kids (especially sons), if their Christian fathers don't spend more than 6 minutes with them throughtout the week? Have a read of the article, and give us your opinion. Do you think this is reflective of Christian fathers as well? What are the factors? Do you have suggestions of how to change this mentality? How do YOU spend time with your kids? Read the article here , and contribute your thoughts below. Comments (1)
