Argh!

I can't take it anymore! This article summary I'm writing? The article I'm writing about, and thus reading, is about Males as the primary caregiver durning early and middle childhood. It's actually a very fascinating article, and the studies the author provides are stunning. But the writing is deplorable. All kinds of contractions where they should not be, adjectives that are nondescript at best, and words like "stick-to-it-iveness". I want to change that "word" to "stick-a-pencil-in-your-eyeball-ness". *gah*

That's one of the things this article talks about. New research is uncovering that children raised in homes in which the father (biological or not) are the primary caregiver are just as successful and highly developed as those in traditional settings. Research even sugggests that children with fathers as caregivers are better developed than those in traditional settings. It's actually a very fascinating phenemenon.

Did it say anything about differences dependent on what age the child is when the mother stops being present?

Unfortunetely, in all of the studies the author presented, the mother was still present in the home - these were "Mr. Mom" cases in which the mother worked or went to school, etc., while the father stayed home and raised the children.

Does it say anything about kids from homes where there's only a single mother as caregiver?
