Are women better parents then men?

Question

Are women better parents then men?
I am doing a essay in my English 1 class and my chosen topic was Are women better parents then men? Normally i would think that it depends on the man or women, they can choose to care for their child or not; but because its an essay i had to choose a side, i got nothing against male parents because some males can do way better than women but its for the essay, so offense to my male parents out there. Just if i could get some thoughts on the topic thank you so much.

(P.S. im not trying to get ya'll to do the essay for me but i need a good knock out introduction, i did have "Do you think women are better parents then men? If not... PROVE IT!!" but that's not on 9th grade level so...?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. There are many great fathers. Look at Dr James Dobson. He is a great father. Also You can contact child welfare and they may have someone willing to talk to you about his/her experience with men taking custody of children when the mother is unfit.

Answer 2

I think it is the person, and not weather male or female it's self.
I off my hand know of 6 fathers who are raising their children (All alone). They are not rich by far, work full time jobs, 2 are truck driver, 4 are 7: am to 5:pm. All are great dads. They go places, do all kinds of things with their children. Then again I know a many mothers single and married who are doing a fine job.

Whether married, single, working or not and even the handicap person. It is a task!
What I found to be even more harder was me at 40.s, two sons in their 30's and along came a 2 week old newborn. NOW THAT WAS HARD. Married are not, male or female Both equally is a hard but well worth it.
Both are equal it is the individual person it's self.
One thing we as a parent can on agree- We do it out of love for the ones we love.
No one can take that from us- MAN or WOMEN we are equal.
All parents know, kids don't come with blue prints and there fore we let our natural instinct's kick in.
Just my opinion.

Answer 3

I believe the question itself is irrelevant. It is unfair and pointless to ask in the first place. It's the same as asking, "Which is 'better', apples or oranges?"

Children need to be raised by two parents. A child does best when raised by two loving, nurturing parents who act in the best interests of the child. Men and women play different roles in raising the child. Traditionally (in many cultures), the mother has a more nurturing role, which the child needs at birth. Children who do not bond to their mother as infants have many problems later on trying to develop relationships. The father generally has a more authoritarian role, acting as the disciplinarian and authority figure. Boys, in particular, who grow up without a male authority figure, are prone to lack respect for authority. This is why there is such a gang problem in the inner city: Boys who do not grow up with a positive male role model look for one, and usually find one in the gang culture.
This is not to say that roles cannot be interchanged to some degree. Also, children bond to different parents at different times in their lives. Boys bond with their mothers, and girls bond with their fathers, hence the terms "mama's boy" and "daddy's girl".
So, to answer the question as to which gender is better: The answer is "neither". Both parents need to be fully involved. When that does not happen, you can see the disastrous results all around us.

Answer 4

There are alot of women who raise children without any help or support from men. Generally women have always been the ones children can always count on.
BUT, lately I see more and more men taking on this role, raising kids without the mothers who have run off for one reason or another, and they can do it well. I have been very impressed with the single fathers I see because they sacrafice and try just as hard as any mother. So any side you choose could have a great arguement.

Answer 5

a good way to start off an essay is with
1. a quote
or
2. a question
or
3. statement

dont start off an essay restating the question your teacher is asking

Are women better parents that men?? hmm... the hard thing about this question is that i could go either way but i think you should choose men because i bet most people in your class is chossing women and im sure you want your essay to stand out

GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Probably not.

But society has so conditoned everyone to think that women are better to have around children than men, and that the man's role is just to provide the money, that it's pretty much accepted as truth now.

Look at the divorce courts... how often does the man end up with custody?

Answer 7

Well NO!!!! to be a good parent is from experience lol, not by the sex of a man or woman. Male or a female doesn't have no baring on whether you are a good parent or not.

Answer 8

Well, it really depends. men tend to be more protective, and women, understating. base your conclusion off of your parents, if your parents arent what your looking for, try your friends parents. Try not to ask questions for your report on something like this. Do your research. Good Luck.

Answer 9

Women make better parents than men for the reasons that ; firstly, they are 'hormonally' better prepared during pregnancy to care for a baby's basic need ,which is feeding (hormones,oxytocin and prolactin stimulate milk production for breastfeeding, with oxytocin further promoting 'bonding' of mother and child). Secondly, women have spontaneous/basic instincts of protecting and caring for a baby starting in pregnancy and throughout its early adulthood, while men still have to develop affinity or 'bonding' with the baby through constant exposure with it. Thirdly, men tend to spend more time away from home and have less tolerance for being 'homebound' than women, hence making it more difficult for them to care for a child

Answer 10

No. my dad is a way better parent than my mom.
