Topic: Women are better parents than men (Read 469 times)

Some men can be better parents than women, some women can be better parents than men. The thing is that it's usually women who are expected to take care of children, they usually have and get full custody (for a bunch of reasons, not because courts favor evil women) and there are far more single mothers than single fathers. So my guess is that there are more good mothers than fathers just because there are more involved mothers in general.

The woman is full of tenderness and affection. Hence, a child is more comfortable with his mother. Even though sometimes he always gets angry, if his child is naughty. But know that it is one of his affections.

And for men it depends on their individual nature. Sometimes a child is also comfortable with his father. Depends on how the attitude of the father to his son.

But, still want it to be a woman or a man. In terms of educating and raising children both parents are very important.

because the love of a mother (woman) for her child is much greater than that of a father (male). maybe the men all feel love for their children. but know in fact the love of a mother is far above the father.

a mother is willing to sacrifice anything to provide growth and development and a good life for her child (the majority). but there is also a mother who does not have a bad heart alias. there are many cases of a mother throwing away her child because she was pregnant before marriage. and he was embarrassed. so he is more concerned with himself (fear of being embarrassed) than the life of his child.

but also not a little love of a father who is so great though not the majority.

and still the role of father and mother is the most important. they are like two wings for their children to fly

well... women do have that maternal sens/instinct or how is it called, and they usually are more interested and involved in raising and educating a child.

I bet to disagree with you, I have a very caring mother and a wonderful father. I can't even say who is a better parents cos both of them are amazing in their own different ways. Both of them completes each other and the same way they complete me. Can't pick one without the other

mother is 7 times better than father, a mother's love will never be reciprocated.. giving birth to our lives is at stake, nurturing us from baby to big.. there are so many kindnesses that will never be written out.

one thing that is interesting.. mother leaves the world then her children will be separated and rarely to be together, it is different if it is father who leaves the world then the children will still gather in the same place in the same house.. children will stay with their mother. 

I was raised by both parents and I see that a mother's concern for her child is much greater than a father's concern for his children.  but this can't be used as a benchmark either because out there there are still many men who take care of children much better than women..

Women are better parents than men I agree with this statement. Seeing the many facts that support this statement, I think it is because women struggle more in raising children, for example giving birth, breastfeeding, bathing, removing baby feces, etc. In my religion, we as children are told to respect our mothers 3 times greater than our fathers.

I believe that it is simply impossible to give an unambiguous answer to this question. And if you refer to your knowledge that the children are more successful in the family where the mother is growing than where the father is growing, then this is because, in principle, the percentage does not coincide, and it seems that the difference is so great. In fact, there is simply not enough recorded experience on this topic.
I hope I explained it clearly.

I think women on average probably make better parents because they rate higher in compassion and empathy in self-reported studies.
That's not to say there aren't terrible mothers and absolutely amazing dads out there.
I suspect from an evolutionary perspective women are more hardwired for caregiving but obviously socialization plays an important role as well.

I have no doubt that women are better at parenting than men, they have the patients, the love, the emotikn and know what to say and also at the right time. I love my both parents but my Mum comes first

Although father and mother both are very important for the building of personality and growth of their children. But God gifted more Passion of love to mother than father. She has more feelings of softness and sympathy than men. She has the ability to attract childer more than men. This is the fact that children take more effect on their mother than father. So this is the reality that" Women are better parents than men"

Both parents have equal love and responsibility for their children. Now men and women have equal rights in the workplace so I don't think women are in any way ahead of men.

I don’t you can say men or women are better parents. It’s a stupid generalisation, it totally depends on the parent, not their sex.

the kid may be an acheiver with mothers care. but its the father that will teach the kid how to survive in tough times.

fathers teaches how to get their kids to do the job.
fathers are disciplinarian.
fathers teaches thier kids to fight back and be tough.
they teach how to catch fish.

I'm sorry sir, but I don't think there's any need to debate on this... If a child have both parents alive we all know the father goes out to make earns meat for the family,even if the mother is a working class not a house wife she'll always be the one to bath dress the child or the children for school, you can see that the closeness or the relationship between the mother and the child is more than that of the father, the father comes back and see the children at home, sometimes he comes back home and they're already sleeping... And truth be told the mothers are more caring than the men, it's only when you are a single parent we can say Otherwise.

confusing, parents = women + men

for my opinion, women will be more careful than man thats the reason 

It very well depends on the parent's attitude towards anything. Whether they are together or not, the best thing for a child to grow up into is both of them together.

Anyways, back to the real topic. Who are better parents, the Mom or the Dad? The table below is my actual experiences with my parents (I might have a different parent attitude that everyone else has but they are unique, and you should always honor them). They have different parenting styles.

|	Task	|	Mother	|	Father	|	Winner	|
|	Asking for Permission	|	Very Hard. Full of questions	|	Easy. Sometimes let you ask Mom	|	Father	|
|	Eating Out	|	Asks questions Asks you where you want to eat but when you suggest, they do not like it	|	Eats anywhere. They both pay	|	Both	|
|	Lessons	|	Teaches you from knowledge	|	Teaches you with Experience	|	Both	|
|	Loving	|	Gives us what we need	|	Real love and caring Sometimes let you ask Mom	|	Both	|
|	Upbringing	|	Carried you for 9 months	|	Had Sex. Could vary	|	Mother	|

Anyways, these are my expresses, both are better and some has their own weaknesses and strengths. I'm just saying, there are a lot of parents who are doing their own parts, you just need to focus on the positive and love them unconditionally.

Women are more psychological than men. They can take care of their children well without anyone's help.

I can't say that women are always better parents than man. All the people are very different and there are a lot different examples that show that men can be very good loving parents too.

This is what i will tell on this.
Women carry the child for 9 months on their wombs and we all know that is true.
But if that woman is not a loving mother then it is not a good thing to say
there are so many women who make babies and just threw their child away.
there are some men who are better with women, i am one of them.

Nah. It depends on the kid gender too. In my experience, male kid tends to love their mother more, and femail kid tends to get spoiler by their father.

They do because its in their blood. Everyone got their purpose and woman`s one mostly is giving a birth and also raise the child.

Father and mother are equally important. They can cope with education equally well.

in my opinion men and women are the best parents for children, even though a man seems indifferent or rarely seen by children, but recognize that in the heart of a deepest man he loves children even though they are not seen by the child .

SIMP!!!!!!

The roles are complementary, so they all play an equal role in parenting. But since human nature is fickle, things could lean either way once in a while.

When i was a child, my mother makes sure i am always comfortable emotionally and looking happy. My father always make sure that i progress in academic education and the best choice for my life is brought forward to me as much as he can. Both men and women make parenthood best for their children. I believe both are needed in every child's life to make the child comfortable. I believe both men and women, under normal circumstances, are good parents.

Because a mother's love is the best love at all times. I am not telling that a Father's love is not the best. It is just that, mother knows best.
Even though I am closer to my father, but when I need something like comfort or sickness, I still long for my mother's tendering loving care.
A girl is trained to become a woman to take care of her family, unlike men, a boy is trained to become a man to provide for his family.

Mothers have a closer sensational relationship to their offspring than fathers because of a better bonding between them and their children.
Women usually spend more time with their children than men because, in many countries, they are usually less engaged in working.
Genetically women can be socially active and communicate better with their surrounding than the men can.
As a role of mother, mothers can transfer their experience to their daughters to become perfect mothers in the future.
A child spends most of the times, it's childhood with the mother and thus mothers have a better understanding of their offspring.
Genetically mothers have better quality in taking care of their children.

Saying that women are better parents than men is like saying that green is a better color than blue. It's not true. Some women are better parents than some men. I would agree with that.

Most say that because women's are more seems like kind than men but there are some men's who care about parenting

This is actually factually flawed to start with. Not to say women or men can't do a good job as single parents (unfortunate circumstances). Ben Carson, for example, brilliant man, grew up in a single parent home with him Mom (but his success he will also credit to God), but then there's also the single mom who drowned her two boys strapped into her car that she let roll off the dock. There are good and bad parents of either gender. And I believe someone on here already gave statistics about the positive effects of children raised by both of the natural (and still married) parents (the way God designed it), as you can see, much higher success rates. It's the basic family unit, which by the way is one of the foundations of a healthy society to grow and prosper. Both the male husband and the female wife generally provide different aspects of parenting, which are both necessary, working together, for optimal growth of the child. But not only that, but studies have also shown that being raised without a dad has extremely detrimental effects on children, please see the information below:

SOME of the statistics include:

63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.
90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.
85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average.  (Center for Disease Control)
80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average.  (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)
71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average.  (National Principals Association Report)

Father Factor in Education – Fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school.

Children with Fathers who are involved are 40% less likely to repeat a grade in school.
Children with Fathers who are involved are 70% less likely to drop out of school.
Children with Fathers who are involved are more likely to get A’s in school.
Children with Fathers who are involved are more likely to enjoy school and engage in extracurricular activities.
75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average.

It goes on to talk about drug and alcohol abuse, crime rates, incarceration, child abuse, etc.


All in all, children are optimally better off having both of their natural parents, much better off having a father in their life than not, and in the unfortunate circumstances of single-parent homes, both men and women have the potential to be good or bad parents.

Now the issue of why we have less fathers in homes today is a different story entirely, but it largely has to do with radical modern feminism, far left policies, and feminizing men, a lot of political junk to say the least, the way we've let modern culture slide.

There is no different that men or women parent it depends from one to another always

Well not all of it but i ithink woman has the capability to give an extensive care for their children because they can be at fulltime guide to their children not on men. men always do the jobs that will support the whole family on its daily needs. i think they have a different work that hard to compare. just in our experience we always see that the woman always take care of their children.

I wouldn't come to that conclusion at all, and I would think this is something which is going to be insanely subjective based on your own personal experiences about your parents.

I'm going to come right out and say that both parents are needed, there's nothing that's going to stop that statement from being true, and there is tons (and tons) of research that backs my claim to the fullest extent.

(Check here - https://www.focusonthefamily.com/socialissues/marriage/marriage/30-years-of-research)

I've got a couple quotes from this site though, which should be a pretty good part of the discussion we have on the site.





These go on and on in the article, check it out.

Neither side is better though, they're both an integral part of the developmental cycle of a child.

In my own part of the world, women are better when it come to parenting than men. Most times, men don't care much about child but a responsible woman who do everything possible in her capacity to care and train her child to become a responsible adult.

concluding on the premise that 'Women are better parents than me' is a fallacy of bias conclusion and subjective.
The way people or children after being raised by either parents is influenced by many factors and not only as the result pf the the sole efforts of the parent.
unless a research is conducted with valid results supporting this premise,I choose to remain skeptical.

My mother and father to make a lot of fights sometimes but do not clearly know whom a child should choose. A mother is much more emotional and a father is much on the practical side of the life. Father wants his child to get a better support in life towards his carrier and mother will take care of his child's health. When deciding, a child does not see who loves them most but they care about who needs them more or without them they will be lonely.

I discovered in our society especially due to separation, death or divorce, children that grew up in the care of their mothers tend to achieve more than those that are with their fathers. Why is it so? Does it mean women care more than the men? Let us discuss please. While I have not traveled round the world for this purpose at least I have close cases. Is it because of time or what aspect of child training is posing a challenge for our men?
