Head of the Family Responsibilities

A father is the head of the family. We believed that every rules inside the family should be implemented by the head of the family which is the father. It is also the the father who knows best for his family. And fo sure we know that every father wants a good and better future for his family.

Every father has his own way of dealing with his family. He has responsibility for each member of the family, and this responsibility should be put into action in order to have a better result for the family. Here are some common responsibilities of a father.

Provider:
As a head of the family he should be the one to find ways and means to provide for the needs of his family. It is but common today that most family have the mother who also work in order to provide the needs of their family. It is just a sort of an additional income. It should be the father who need to provide for his family. He should be the one to look for a job, to have a job, in order to supply the needs of his family. A mother's obligation is first to take care of her family but if ever there are chances of working in order to earn, then sometimes mothers decide to go for it in order to help for the needs of the family.

Protector:
As a head of the family he should be the one to protect his family from every harm. He should know how to protect each of the member of the family. He should be strong enough not only in physical but also in emotional aspect in order for him to be firm in protecting his family. It is not only a responsibility but a sure obligation of a father.

Judge:
A judge is the one who gives judgement. As a father he should also be the one to implement judgment upon every rules that he implemented inside the house. If ever one of the family member disobeyed the rule, the father is the one who knows what's best. He is not to give judgment in a harsh way but it is implemented with love in order for each to learn with meekness from every mistake s they committed.

As a friend and a brother:
As a father you should act not only a father but as a friend and a brother. Sometimes children can't speak directly to their parents about what they feel. They will rather go to a friend or their brother. But as a father if you know how to act as a friend and a brother to your children, they will not hesitate to open up every problem to you, because they can trust you not as a father but as a friend and a brother.

Leader:
Each group needs a leader to lead them. A family is a group that needs a real leader who can lead them in a right way. As a father you are the one who can lead your family in a right path which will lead them in a better tomorrow.

This is just but simple responsibilities but will lead to a better future of your family if you put this into action.

  3. While almost any man can father a child, there is so much more to the important role of being dad in a child's life. I think that family outgoings are so essential for strengthening father-child relationships. I like the tips described by Agatha Singer in her article. You may check this link right here .

  4. The man should not always be head of the family. It's unfair that adults who cant earn must be ruled by the people willing to support them.

  5. A healthy family should be provided by the man. In the world today, it's getting difficult with rising costs and some wives earn more than husband. When the wives provide she will play the role of husband and there will be imbalance in the relationship as men tend to have higher ego. Hence many will end up with divorce.

    1. And that is the mans fault for getting offended that his wife/partener might not have to beg him for money. Cograts.

  6. I see myself as a strong and independent woman. There is no one head in our household. We all have different roles and work together, using our strengths to support each other. I don't make any decisions without my husband but neither does he without my input, and sometimes that of our children. We work together because we are a family and can all make a shared contribution.
