Women are better parents than men

[Applechild]

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?

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.

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.

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.

[squatz1]

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.

Reams of social science and medical research convincingly show that children who are raised by their married, biological parents enjoy better physical, cognitive and emotional outcomes, on average, than children raised in other circumstances. …[R]esearchers have been able to make a strong case that marriage has causal impacts on outcomes such as children’s schooling, their social and emotional adjustment, and their employment, marriage and mental health as adults.

The Report, “Why Marriage Matters, Third Edition: Thirty Conclusions from the Social Sciences,” reported on the multiple benefits of marriage, including the advantages for children. A diverse team worked collectively on the report, including family scholars from U.C. Berkeley, Rutgers University and the Universities of Texas, Virginia, Minnesota, Chicago, Maryland and Washington. They found that children who lived with their own married parents, in general:
Live longer, healthier lives both physically and psychologically.
Do better in school.
Are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college.
Are less likely to live in poverty.
Are less likely to be in trouble with the law.
Are less likely to drink or do drugs.
Are less likely to be violent or sexually active.
Are less likely to be victims of sexual or physical violence.
Are more likely to have a successful marriage when they are older.

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.

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.

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

[DigitalCyberius]

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.

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

[sweetbet]

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.

[truongphan1409]

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.

[Dannaey]

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.

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.

[Finla]

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.

[bigvito19]

SIMP!!!!!!

[uncukarambie]

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 .

[Becksinsky]

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

[vabalkazh]

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.

[bitmonkey455]

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.

[santiPOGI]

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.
