Are Mothers Better Than Fathers in Parenting
Just mull over the phenomenon of the parental phenomenon and you will realize that it is not an easy job to do. Two people with opposite gender come closer, they bond together and when they finally have kids they sacrifice their time, energy and all resources on raising their offspring. By investing a major part of their resources on kids, parents normally lose out of them which they could also use on some other things like taking a world tour. Being parents mean that they have to sacrifice their own security for their children. Traditionally it was the responsibility of mothers to take care of their children and to nurture them but today, the circumstances have changed and now it is the responsibility of both parents to take care of their children. The bonding between mother and child during pregnancy becomes more evident after the child’s birth.
There are different communities in the world that have assigned the task of earning to the father while the task of taking care of kids, nurturing them and looking after the family is the job of the mother or females of a particular family. Therefore, children are more attached to their mother than the father and also mothers do everything in their capacity to take care of her kids. Biologically there is a hormone in mothers called oxytocin which enables them to bond better with her kids. That is the reason that the kids feel more loved and pampered when they are with their mother. Another reason why females are better parent than male is because naturally females are more caring for their kids than their male counterparts. Females have less ego than males therefore they act as a lubricant when there is a lot of friction, which also helps in joining the families ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"2AvgjPvy","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Why mothers are generally better parents than fathers,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“Why mothers are generally better parents than fathers,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":553,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/4X54NAN4"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/4X54NAN4"],"itemData":{"id":553,"type":"post-weblog","title":"Why mothers are generally better parents than fathers","abstract":"Mike wanted to buy a new bike and was short of cash.

It is not always necessary that mothers are good parents all the times, there are times when fathers are more protective and more loving than mothers. The emotional stability that is affiliated with father is great as compared to a mother. Studies suggest that children especially daughters who have strong emotional bonding with their father are more stress-free and they can deal with emotional feelings like anxiety or depression quite easily than those who don't share such strong bonding with their father. Such kids can also do good with their external affairs. Fathers are better in this case because they give their kids the liberty to express themselves without judging them or being strict. Fathers are better also because they struggle so hard to support the financial needs of the child, be it education or any other demand, it is ultimately the responsibility of the father to fulfill them.
Another reason fathers are good is that the sense of security and protection after seeing the father doesn't come so easily while in case of the mother. When the children are in trouble only the sight of a father can soothe their pain and stress. When it comes to taking important decisions it is the father who is the head of the family and has the ability to look at all perspectives and can choose the things which are in best interest to his children ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"UnuCaCyx","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(reporters, 2012)","plainCitation":"(reporters, 2012)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":555,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/6PYY62LX"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/6PYY62LX"],"itemData":{"id":555,"type":"article-newspaper","title":"A loving father is 'more important to children'","section":"Women","source":"www.telegraph.co.uk","abstract":"A father's love is just as important, if not more so, than a mother's, a study has suggested.","URL":"https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/mother-tongue/9330961/A-loving-father-is-more-important-to-children.html","ISSN":"0307-1235","language":"en-GB","author":[{"family":"reporters","given":"Telegraph"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2012",6,14]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",1,26]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (reporters, 2012).
Although the discussion is quite difficult because it is not easy to choose between two parents and to judge which one is better, both parents have their own benefits and responsibilities and both of the work so hard to make their children happy. It is the society who has assigned duties to both genders and normally both parents always strive hard to do what is best for their kids. Having said that, the sacrifice that is made by a mother from leaving her own home after marriage, to take new responsibilities, to keep the child inside her womb for nine months and then the pain after delivery is the sacrifice that only a woman can give. Therefore, mothers naturally have more attachment and are better parent than the males.
