  his is to enquire if S. R. Rees has any children herself, and to give my
  oint of view.
  ^y husband has been a great help to me in bringing up our son. The only thing
   e couldn't do was feed him when he was born, as his chest is not the right
  hape. I know lots of Fathers who deserve medals for the way they help in the
  ome with the babies. What about the men whose wives die in childbirth, or
  eave them? They manage just as well as I could and love their children – and
  ove is very important to a child. I think that Mothers and Toddlers should
  e banned. If the man feeds, changes, cares for the child, then he should
  ave a right to be with other parents. mothercare also should be changed to
  arentscare. The only thing about child care that's womens work is the nine
  Months pregnancy and the bearing down.
  lease let that woman know that she has no right to shut the Fathers out.
  he child is as much theirs as ours. Print this letter and let her know please.
