Do men or women make better parents?

Question

I'm not talking about a gay raising raising a child.
I'm asking in general, from your expirience, do men or women make a better parent?

These are good answers.
In the broad general sense the mother is probalbly the more nurtering parent, but in reality both parents are equally important, and mostly it depends on the individual.

Answer 1

either one, what matters is if they love, care for the child,,, and are willing/able to give the attention a child needs,,,,, to me, its also very important the think! not be stuck in the past, the way things were,, but to actually consider the childs best interest, and question what practices are best,,, also to be able to see the child as an individual, and being willing to accept and develop their personality, is important,,,,, bottem line, if your able to love and think of a childs best interest, you will be a good/great parent! gender has nothing to do with it

Answer 2

It is not a matter of sexual makeup/orientation, it really depends on the individual. Despite what history tells us, not all women are cut out to be moms, while some men excel at being a good parent. I worked with a man who raised his kids (3) from birth to age 10 while his wife worked - now he his working on his master's degree from home.

Answer 3

A child needs the love, nurturing, and bonding of both a male and female parent. Both genders bring value to the needs of the child. Those children who are deprived of a mother and father, living under the same roof in a caring and loving environment, are by far the most well-developed and ethically informed. We, as a society, have forgotten that good parenting is the result of good parents. -RKO-

Answer 4

I don't think gender plays the biggest role in the quality of a parent. Their are bad mothers and bad fathers. There are great mothers and great fathers. It depends on the character, the personality, the heart of the individual. Children definitely need both a good mother and a good father. Sadly, no one is perfect and there are fewer and fewer good parents out there. In my experience, both men and women are good parents and are both vital in the life of the child.

Answer 5

I don't think anyone is better but i give to those single parents men n women who plys both roles of mom n dad .I think men can b great at parenting but with women it does come natural since we r the ones who bare the child n they don't come with handbooks but yet we still no what to do but a man usually has to learn a lot more then a women .I don't know but maybe it's easier for a women to parents but better i don't know.

Answer 6

women are many times extra helpful at parenting skills than men, yet I actual have observed a hectic style in our "new" babies over the previous 50 years. there are a number of extra broken properties now than ever in the previous, and this places the youngsters in a compromised project whilst being raised. self-discipline is meager at terrific (in maximum cases - and there are exceptions), and that i've got considered babies doing issues in front of their dad or mum that should are transforming into to be me a immediately returned hand or paddling (in front of God and everybody). old shaped self-discipline is virtually a component of the previous. I actual have additionally considered good mothers and good fathers who prepare self-discipline for their little ones, yet I actual have considered far too many that're raising a era of selfish, misbehaved, and rotten little ones that have not have been given any thought what the actual international is like. Troubling as this seems, the mothers are nonetheless my vote - they furnish the affection and tenderness. The fathers are failing to returned them up with the perplexing line self-discipline. whats up, i'm a 60 12 months. old guy who raised 3 boys, so i'm experienced at this.

Answer 7

Depends on the personality of the parent. I think my mom was the better parent, I think my brother is the better parent of my nieces, my sister and brother-in-law are pretty equal at parenting. My bf is the better parent of his daughter simply because his ex abandoned them.
The "best" parent is the one who puts in the most effort toward the psychological well-being, development and security of the child.

Answer 8

It really depends on the individual. I do not think that anyone can make a blanket statement that being raised by a human female is better or worse than being raised by a male human.

Answer 9

Both. My parents were very good at raising us. My Mom was strict and believed in knowing social graces and proper etiquette where my Dad was carefree, very talented, smart and extremely funny. He gave up being a full time musician to be a regular working (pathologist) Dad. He taught us quality burping (which drove Mom nuts) and how to pull his finger. He played almost every instrument and taught us.

Answer 10

Men and women have there own techniques of parenting, not all are the same. So , they are basically equal when it comes down to it. I'm not sexist.
