What is meant is that generally the struggle in our day and age is the reverse, in that fathers are too lenient on their children. That is, they sometimes don’t discipline them enough, so that children become not as structured as they should be or could be. This has been the observation made in many instances. Obviously, this would be a result of fathers themselves not being disciplined, or caring too much about themselves that they don’t pay enough attention to their children. Of course, if the father is absent, that puts the burden on the mother for all the discipline that is needed. What happens when the fathers are unreasonably strict on their kids? The observation has been that generally the kids become rebellious as they get older, and sometimes this rebelliousness is in secret. This seems to happen more often in a stricter church, where the father is strict. But again, it seems to be becoming less common in our current time.
