I think that either men or women can be good parents. There isn't some rule on this, it's just all up to the person to do what is best for their child.
I just takes a person that is caring and willing to be there for their child, some one who is loving and good to their child.
So, as I said either a man or a woman can be a good parent, they just have to want to be a good parent and do what's best and right for their child. Some one who isn't selfish.

James is so wrong. Don't even give that answer credence. Children depend on each parent for different things. Mom knows how to dress a little boy or girl. Women are good at the wardrobe thing. And the dinner thing. And the bath thing. And the homework thing. Dad knows how to dress a little boy or girl. Dads are good at the wardrobe thing. And the dinner thing. And the bath thing. And the homework thing. Working or not. Moms and Dads, if they are around, are the ones both girls and boys of any age enjoy having around anytime because of the bond and if they work all day, the kids are just happy to see them when they get home. If both parents work, then I would say they are both responsible parents who juggle their childrens schedules between each other. In a loving family, no parent is better than the other. It is best to have both. I loved my parents equally and my Mom stayed home with us and my Dad stayed home with us too because he was paralyzed from a stroke when I was very little. So, maybe I don't know what normal is but I guess it depends on the parents. Some Moms are mean. Some Dads are mean. Some Moms don't care. Some Dads don't care. If you are lucky, you end up with two parents that love you regardless if they work or not. Your question is too generalized.

Parenting is not about gender so both can be effective.
Working parents vs Non-working parents:
- It is about quality time... the time you spent with your child expereince life makes the difference.
Stage of child development
- Values are develop between 3 to 6years old... thereafter the child starts to be exposed to the world (school) and out side influence.
Child gender:
- Boy and girls thing.... starts to kick in during pre teens 10years old. that where gender issues may arise.

I think every parent and child is different. Some mothers can be "bad" mothers and some fathers can be "bad" fathers. Mothers usually have the motherly instinct but a lot of fathers these days have sle custody of children or are the stay at home parent. Sometimes fathers are best. Every situation is different. I love my parents both the same and i hope my children love my husband and i the same

i'm at the instant a stay at homestead dad,and that's a mixed concern.by using variations in my wellness i will't proceed the occupation path i became into on,and till i end my degree,i'm going to be no longer likely to be waiting to locate a first rate salary that would make it conceivable to locate the money for high quality look after my teenagers.So I even have an entire type time table to boot as shield the homestead and teenagers,and it is not any longer elementary.The artwork isn't elementary,and often unappreciated via the standard public at super. I do in actuality get a honest quantity of people who respond negatively to me by using this,a lot of whom i doubt could do a similar if i became right into a female.It fairly makes you ask your self if we've fairly come that a techniques as a society after all.

Experience is everything, the parent that does most of the raising will be better at a lot of tasks because that's what they do most of the time. But every situation is different, and most parents does their best.

Okay.. No one get mad at me, as I am about to make a gross generality..Here goes....Typically speaking, the old saying about a mother being the heart of the home is true..She tends to be softer, and Dad's seem to be tougher..This is a good thing because they can come to an agreement on what is right...That is why I really think kids need a Mom and a Dad...Boys especially need Dads!

It depends on the parents and how much time they spend time with the children.Background of the parents comes into parenting skills.How much you were nurtured by your own parents.

Mothers in general are better nurturers and better at putting the child's needs before her own.
