Woman is better than man at parenting

I believe women are better than men in raising children, because naturally women are different from men. For example, women have a reproductive function to become pregnant and give birth to babies, which men do not have. Furthermore, women also have natural skills to take care of the baby. After having a baby, a woman plays her role as a mother, such as breast feeding and bathing her baby.

Actually, men also play the same role as woman at parenting, but the problem is most men are less patient than women. Men cannot stand to take care of the baby all day long and sometimes they do not know what they should do when the baby is crying. Sometimes, fathers do not want to take this responsibility because they think that it is not men’s jobs to feed the baby or change a baby’s diapers. These jobs are too feminine for fathers and they do not like it.

A woman is a miracle from God. A woman plays many roles in her life, such as wife, mother, housewife or career woman. Women have soft feelings and higher emotional intelligence than men. That is why women are better at parenting than men. For example, in many cases we can find that man trust his wife to raise their children. A father does not care whether his children have already eaten or not, he is just busy with his jobs or business. On the other hand, a mother always pays more attention to her children. A mother will make sure about their children’s meals and activities. Even though the mother is a career woman and does not stay at home, she will do her best to take care of her children.

However, women also need men’s help. Sometimes, when women are busy or have something to do outside the house, they ask their husbands to take care of their children and fathers can do their jobs well.

To sum up, I think women make better parents than men but women cannot do their roles well without men’s help and support. A woman and a man should have a good coordination and relationship in order to have a good family.
