Fathers wanted

In a very interesting development for Radio 5 on Bank Holiday Monday, Reggie Yates presented a documentary called Is Mum Enough? in which he explored the lifelong effects of living without a father in the house, followed by a phone-in.

Callers to the station’s late night show were also talking about the issues raised.

Mums, on their own can – and do - work wonders, but an absent father leaves a real hole. One man spoke of how he learned to shave properly only from a scene in a film.

The baby boom seems to be only one marker of the way in which attitudes towards parenthood, family, marriage & relationships seem to be undergoing some fundamental reassessments.
