Talking about father's day that has just passed and a much earlier mother's day in May, I would say, in general, all parents are great parents. But of course there are different styles of parenting. I came across one father who said, "I don't know much about my children academic matters, it is taken care by my wife. I'm not sure what course my daughter majors in, I am not home most of the time." He seems contented that his wife makes a lot of decision without consulting him and the children are doing fine by far and large.
In another setting, the father is dominant. What he says, goes, without much discussion. The children seem to be doing just fine as well.
It goes without saying that the best setting is for both parents to be involved in their children lives to a certain extent when they are still under your wings. Actively participate in the children decisions to guide them along the correct path so less time is spent on corrective measure later on. The children have to understand what parents want are for them to have a better life and to be successful in their chosen undertakings.
As for us... we are willing to catch a grenade, jump in front of a train and take a bullet straight to the brain (listen to Bruno Mars's video) for the children if need be...
