There are a few reasons, but one key reason is that fathers are typically more physically active than mothers. Fathers are more likely to work outside the home, and they typically have more opportunities to engage in physical activity with their children. Additionally, fathers often have greater responsibilities within the home, such as being the primary provider. As a result, fathers tend to invest more time and energy in their relationships with their children than mothers do. However, when fathers spend time with their children and find themselves unable to connect on an emotional level, they can become quite disappointed. Men are social animals and need opportunities to relate positively to others in order to feel secure and connected. When fathers don't have access to their children on a regular basis or when those interactions don't emotionally resonate with them, it can result in feeling lost and helpless.
