Fathers are NOT babysitters
As I am reading through the Bible with my family during the evening
worship time we are reminded of the unlimited authority and power fathers
appreciated in the old days. Of course, mothers had their way of handling
fathers (word manipulating here would be very politically incorrect); and I
am thinking of Sarah setting up Abraham with Hagar; Rebekah tricking Isaac
to bless Jacob, Rachel giving Jacob an attitude, knowing that she was the
favorite, and these are just a few samples.
Some call the Bible stories chauvinistic, giving too much macho
power to men. Many readers consider that women were relegated into
background of those antique stories. Surface reading may even bias
contemporary Christian men not to take seriously their parental role, and our
attitudes toward parenting betray it. Let me illustrate with some examples.
I found an interesting article about 8 Stupid Things You Should Stop
Saying to Dads written this week, just before the Fathers Day. The top on
the list is Dad must be babysitting today, huh?" YOU CAN'T BABYSIT
YOUR OWN KIDS!!! Fathers are not paid caretakers. People would never
look at a mom with her kids and ask if she was babysitting. Yet when a dad is
out with his kids, so many people automatically and without thinking about it
calls it babysitting. Even some dads refer to it that way because it's so
accepted. Dads don't babysit. Ever!
Another wrong thing to say to a father is: "Oh look at you playing Mr.
Mom today." Fatherhood isn't a version of motherhood, and dads aren't
playing the part of a mom. That implies parenting is some sort of women's
work. The number of stay-at-home dads has doubled in the last quarter-
century, and even dads who work outside the home are focusing more on
work/life balance because there's a renewed focus on shared parenting and
being present.
Or, people seeing dad out with kids would comment Oh my. You're
brave." Are moms "brave" for taking their kids on errands? Of course not!
You expect that from moms. If you're not pinning a medal of honor on mom
simply for being a parent and going grocery shopping, don't bother with one
for dad either.
The list of our silly attitudes toward dads can go on. Yet, when one
considers the Bible, the Torah fathers were very involved in parenting!
Deuteronomy 6:4-10 has been called the Magna Carta of the home which
would guarantee the happiness and well-being of the family in the purpose of
God. Teaching children Gods laws and statutes was fathers role and
responsibility. Psalm 103:13 states that it is fathers role to show
compassion and pity on his children. Parenting has always been teamwork
of mom and dad, together, in unity.
Make this fathers day a celebration of partnership-parenting, and not
some exclusive, once a year emphasis on father as a parent-for-a-day.


your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
