Do parents matter?

 Craig H. Hart wrote the article Combating the myth that parents don't matter where he brings up research on how a parents interaction with their children effect that kind of person they are. With so many Homosexual rights activists out there many articles have been published that show that heterosexual parents are unnecessary because men and women don't bring unique contribution to the helping and development of a child. This is untrue. a "natural family" using the correct tools will be able to give their children great success  even more than that of a single or cohabitation  parents. It gives children a place to see how interactions should work and especially for fathers it shows girls how they should be treated. I find it interesting that fatherhood had been so attacked because fathers are often the bread winners of the family and not at home as much as a mother. Studies have shown that fathers matter. I know that fathers matter. I wouldn't have chosen my husband if not for the example of my Dad in how he treated my mother when I was younger. My mom nurtured me  and my dad pushed me out into the world with the knowledge that both of my parents would be there for me.
