It’s the type that makes them want to strangle their kids for not listening but still love them no matter how much the kids mess up in life. Moms don’t have the experience for the to be a father figure for the kids. “ a priest at his parish helps him sort out the issues when he and his mother disagree on family rules such as a curfew.” (Foerstner 16). Moms may not have the experience of being a dad but she could always ask for help from male figures. The kids would be more exposed to the feeling of how having a dad is like. Just like Telemachus, he was very close to Odysseus's loyal shepherd, Eumaeus because he was a father figure to Telemachus. Although Eumaeus was not his dad, Tele came back from his 2 year search for his father, and Eumaeus was the first person he visited. These single mothers

In other cultures mother raise their kids being more independents with themselves, for instance they are more capable to take care of them since early ages. However and no matter how boys have been educated, there will be a point where they start taking they own decisions to determine their future.

The relationship of a son towards both his parents is very complex. A son will likely feel a close bond with his mother, yet see his father as an adversary and competitor. When a son sees how his father interacts with his mother he will either attempt to model his father's behavior or reject his father's example of relationships with women. From the parents' point of view, having a son can be one of the greatest joys they will ever experience but also one of the greatest challenges.
