Fathers are the most important members in many families, you just don't realize it. They provide you with almost all your needs and support you in many ways. They are more important than mothers in my opinion.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. Like I said, it really just depends on the family. However, in many families, both the mother and the father work and provide for the household.
Also, I know several cases of single mothers who have raised successful children. In fact 3 of my cousins have lived with a single mother and they are all doing fine.
In the case of my own home, I actually relate way more to my mother than I do my father. My mother has definitely probably been the most influential parent for me. For years, she has provided me with food, shelter, medicine, etc... This is not to say that my father hasn't, but he has also caused me the most stress to the point that I honestly question my mental health at this point due to how much disdain I have for him.
Also, calling fathers more important than mothers is borderline sexist, and you may want to watch out for being attacked by a bunch of angry women.
