Is a woman considered a better parent than a man?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it is more often the case than not. But, that's inaccurate because a woman isn't always the better parent. Even in cases where a woman may be the primary childraiser(as in being a home maker), that doesn't mean she is the better parent, just the parent who spends the most time with the child(ren).
You have asked a great (and controversial) question, you troublemaker you.

Answer 2

No, a woman is just a better MOTHER than a man could be!

Being a good mother requires different skills from being a father, and before I'm accused of being non-feminist, obviously nature has given the two sexes different roles in child-rearing.

A father doing a good job as a parent would be doing different things than a mother doing a good job as a parent.

That is why any child who has both parents actively involved in raising it, is getting the best.

I know single parents often have no choice in the matter but I still think a child ideally needs the different parenting styles that two parents bring to its life

Answer 3

Not a chance. A woman and a man are both equally needed to raise a well rounded, balanced individual. Don't buy into the feminists view that all men are scum, and not needed in child rearing.

in a nut shell
moms = Bringing softer, caring side to both sons, daughters. lovey dovy, lots of hugs, kisses, school work, cooking, cleaning, Helping teach daughters to be good women, help teach sons what women are all about.
Dads = Bringing a work ethic, harder side for both sons, and daughters. Provider, discipline, taking children to do "manly" things - fishing, hunting, sports, home repair....., protector, help make sons into respectful men, help daughters understand men.

In a nut shell, meaning that in our family, I do everything dad does, as dad does everything i do to. Yes I discipline, go fishing, do other fun stuff. Dad gives lots of hugs, helps clean, cook....

All and all, the answer is NO a woman is not a better parent, try equal. This is based on weather or not you marry the right person as well.

Answer 4

Not necessarily. A woman is a mother true, but just because of that doesn't mean that she is a better parent than a man. In my days, I have seen fathers that take care of their children, hold jobs, but still have time to go to school and see how their kids are doing. Men have the capability of being wonderful parents, but I think that they don't show it much because, so women take on that role and do not allow the father to do it. I feel woman should let fathers participate in everything that a child has to go through. I, myself, talk to my husband and daughter together regarding her period when it first started, I feel he has to know what kind of kotex she uses and what kind of medication to give her when she has cramps. My daughter started it early, and did not understand why she had to go through this. What would happen is I suddenly died or had to go to a hospital? My daughter would feel alone, with no one to talk to, that is why we have openness in our home.
Fathers are great when given the chance to show how much they love and care for their children, were some mothers just because they are called Mom, think they do but they haven't the faintest idea of what a good parent is.

Answer 5

AS much as I hate to say this. It isnt always true, I have seen situations where the dad was a much better parent. I personally know a girl who is still very immature for her age. Her husband, at times seems to be the dominate parent. I know women go through PPD, but this is not her case. She really didnt want to have kids, but did it for him. In time things may change and she may become the better parent, or learn to share parenting equally. As of right now, her husband does most everything for their children

Answer 6

No! It goes both ways. In my experience, there's tons of men I know that are much better parents then their partners. In my life, my mom was better. It really depends on the individual. It's a myth that the divorce courts have followed for years, but even now, that's getting slightly better.
In general, both parents bring different aspects to the childs life. They are both important roles. Men tend to be authoritive figures while women generally are more nurturing. Kids need both of those factors. One is not more important than the other.
I hope this has helped.

Answer 7

No, because the child needs to be with both parents. Without both the child isn't exposed to a broader range of understanding, thinking, society, etc. And, it depends, maybe a woman is abusive, maybe the male is, it depends on the parents. There is no average for which is better than the other.

Answer 8

depends on the situations which varies among people. if the woman is taking good care of her child in a loving way and taking care of her business and the man isnt, then i think she is the better parent . but there are different variables that would weigh on whether or not she is the better parent

Answer 9

Yeah I think a lot of people in our society 'think' that, but I don't think it's always the case. People are such individuals that you can't rate people on things based on thier gender alone. To tell you the truth, I think my hubby will probably be a better parent then me - he's soooo good with kids and has had so much experience with kids, while I on the other hand will be a coplete new be lol

Answer 10

In most cases yes. I think I'm the better parent. But the little things that my child's father does do really does make a big impact on my son.
