I think it is very important that they have both mothers and fathers, but if a choice had to be made, then, all things being equal, I would agree that mothers are more helpful to young children. Mothers are the one's who can nurse a baby, are generally more nurturing of the sexes and are able to attend to the multiple needs of a young one more than males typically are. Though, nothing is true 100 percent of the time and each situation unique.

Why do mothers alienate children from fathers?

Many times a women alienate children from their fathers because they themselves do not wish to have contact with the father. Therefore; children get alienated due to an unintended consequence, but there are as many different answers to this questions as there are fathers alienated from their children. Unless there is abuse on the part of the man, the damage done to children who are alienated from their fathers is usually irreparable. It is extremely cruel to keep children from their fathers. Children need fathers as much as, and in some cases, more than children need their mothers. A father's positive influence cannot be bought for all the gold in Egypt. It is flat out child abuse for ANYONE to intentionally alienate children from their fathers. It can actually be a blessing for a mother to have a civil-productive relationship with the children's father. The mother can then have a much needed break from the children, financial support and the comfort of attending childrens activities without animosity. My sons father and I divorced when they were young and we got along beautifully while raising our children together and in close proximity. It was a positive influence that they witnessed their parents caring enough about THEM to get along with each other.
