Joseph – I don’t know what kind of arrangement you have in your home, but what I see in most frum families is that fathers spend substantially less time with their children than mothers do. This is probably actually true in all families, not just frum, but it’s certainly true in frum ones. I’m not saying it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it is a thing. Ya, they have different functions and that’s all great. But at the end of the day, mothers tend to spend much more time with the family than do fathers; I assume you agree with this. I was just trying to understand baisyaakovliberal’s observation that Bais Yaakov teachers are more likely to speak to students about being mothers than yeshiva rebbeim are to speak with talmidim about being fathers.
