Starting a family is a natural step in many people’s lives; however, the way that you imagine it may not ultimately be the actual reality. Everyone has their own ideal perspective which is influenced by the society they find themselves in, the people around them, and also their gender. Studies show that males and females have different views about a large number of subjects.

In this article, we will be discussing the male view of the ideal family as well as why males tend to hold such views and also if they are positive.

     Role as Breadwinner.

A large number of men will want to be the breadwinners of their family meaning that they will be the main if not the only person in the family that will be going out and earning the living that provides for the family.

This could be for a variety of reasons. It could be due to existing stereotypes which make individuals believe that there is some type of honor in being involved in a certain activity or living your life a certain way.

There is nothing wrong with this if you can make it work and if your partner is happy with not working. However, in the modern-day and age, it is very hard for a household to cope well with just one adult working full-time. In order to have money to spare, the majority of families will have to have both adults working full-time.

 Leadership.

Some men may also have the view that they should have the final say in the family, there is nothing wrong with that if they happen to be a single parent. However, you cannot ignore the views of your partner, after all, you are in a relationship for a reason, and it takes two of you to make it work.

Sometimes it is important to make compromises in order to keep everyone happy, although you could take the route of the dictator of the family it will end up backfiring on you severely as other family members, especially children will lose trust in you and your bond will diminish.

You shouldn’t let your kids do everything they want! But it is important to be intuitive and listen to what they are telling you so that you can learn and improve as a parent.

     Inner Kid.

Pretty much every man will have an ‘Inner Kid’ side to them where they will want to live out things that they couldn’t do in their childhood with their own family when they are an adult.

For example, they may want to play on the latest video game consoles with their children and other family members. Another example is that they may want to start a comic book collection with the increased funds that they now have as an adult with a full-time job.

This is not a problem, as it can help the father build a strong relationship with their children over a mutual hobby that they can adopt from their parent.
