Having been forced to become a single dad over the last few years - your view is wrong in my opinion. But I will admit I had a similar view before my own experience. The thing is, society teaches boys/men to be self-focused and work-focused, and we subconsciously derive our own self worth from being good at those things. But that is not biological, I am pretty convinced of that now. If you were to single parent your children, you would see quite quickly you can develop a very similar relationship that a mother traditionally has. It's just a matter of spending less time on yourself and work, and more time on your children and the running of the family. Then those stronger bonds just develop naturally (and are the silver lining of my own experience).
