Action Quote by Deborah Tannen
“Like most men, my father is interested in action. And this is why he disappoints my mother when she tells him she doesn't feel well and he offers to take her to the doctor. He is focused on what he can do, whereas she wants sympathy.”
![“It is important for a father who feels pushed away [by the mom] to say, in effect, When you do that, I feel unwanted as a father, or I feel my rough-housing is not bad parenting; it's my contribution to helping our child take risks. Women cannot hear what men do not say.” quote by Warren Farrell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/551/warren-farrell-1187_bad-parenting_it-is-important-for-a-father-who-feels-p_1762902.jpg)
