@ iice kind of people.

Please before you talk please indicate whether you were brought up from a single mother/father or cheating father or you even being single mother, And also if you respect Mother&Father living together as the best environment to bring up a child.

Tell them
Meanwhile, the degree of absenteeism being refered to is that of working in another city, state, country or continentand only being present at home occasional for a day or 2.

@beknown
Being away for a day or 2 or even a few weeks occasionally would certainly not make one an absentee dad

Ambber:
Absentee Dads are 'spermatozoa donors'. It is God and mothers that take care of children

If in doubt, ask the US president

Donating outside the house or inside?

beknown:
This question is not clear because an absentee Dad can take different forms in the modern day:

1. Temporarily absentee Dad who is out to fetch food for the home, cares for his family and pay the bills.

2. A permanently absentee Dad as a result of divorce but provide care for his children through legally agreed arrangement.

3. A permanently absentee Dad who has ran away.

4. A permanently absentee Dad who only donated spermatozoa to facilitate pregnancy.

Etc, Etc.

Please be specific about the absentee Dad.

I'm referring to the first type; should we even consider the last 2 types as dads?

@topic,

It's gonna take a lot more to make it work. It's a lot work when around not to talk of absentee dad

I cannot more than agree with you!!!

[color=#9900ff]Unlike some people. . .i don't talk just to talk I know quite a few people, both male and females who would rather have not had their dads or even moms at home.[/color]
[quote][/quote]Hey, you must be kidding. By the 'some people' weren't 'talking' but writing! Besides, the problem might be with those males or females who'll rather not have their parents at home; maybe the parents' positive impact is not palatable, as is usually not.

I am still doing a study on the modalities for paying first fruits and the exact requirements by God. So, I am yet to be convinced totally, especially on the every annual January salary bit. However, I have been paying my tithes for sometime now, based on conviction, and I have no regrets at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What use is the presence if nothing really comes out of it? Or worse, only the worse comes out of it?
On the contrary. . .the effect of absence is not 'best' imagined. There are those with absent fathers and it's not so minuscule a number. There are too many absent even when present'

If you are really convinced that being present counts for nothing, find out from responsible single female parents if they'll rather not have the dads at home!

Is first fruits supposed to be your very first salary on a new job and subsequent first annual increase based on promotion or is it supposed to be your entire January salary on an annual basis?

With due respect, 'presence' only may not count for something major but, it certainly counts! Besides, if presence does not count, the effect of absence is best imagined.

In this era of career taking precedence over family and with dads often away from home, would it still be possible for children to be impacted by their dads?

The unconvincing victory over Benin Republic yesterday further makes it doubtful if the 'Super' Eagles can win the Nations Cup. It also further raises the question of the ability of Shuaibu to lead Nigeria to the World Cup later in the year. I think it is high time we overhauled the entire team, management inclusive!
