Men make the money, drop it off at home, and go back out in the world. Fathers who are able to balance will raise healthy children. Absent fathers result in needy daughters. Absent yet domineering fathers will raise daughters who are paralyzed, afraid to act. Pampering dads raise arrogant sons and insecure daughters.
Passive dads have rebellious daughters.
Idealized fathers will find that their daughters are super-critical, always comparing other men to their fathers, and finding them lacking. Daughters in a family business, who are involved with the business as young adults, will typically go through a period of estrangement from their mothers, according to Monte. Between 20 and 30, they will push Mom away and seek advice from Dad. Yet in the old days, family modeling was very different. Before the Industrial Revolution, Monte notes, men ran pretty much everything.
