can a father match a mother ?

For sure. There are many single fathers out there who do just fine and love there kids more than anything. And sometimes mothers aren't as loving as people often think they are.Look at the stories we have all heard of woman hurting there babies or leaving them.It's not just men who abandon. i don't understand how someone could just walk away from a child, I could never but it happens all the time and it's not just men who do.Also look at men that get into a realtionship with a woman who has childern and he loves those childern like they are his own.

mother comes first in my case.

Of Course!!! I dont see why not. My hunny was very involved with our children and still is. He helped make the baby and should love it just as much as a mother does.

Definitely ! When a child is born it was the mother and father who started this cretion and although we feel things differently it does not mean the love we can give is different . Love is what makes everything in life grow and without it we wouldn't have much in life but the love can be given from anyone who takes the time to show that they care and will always be there for the child . Love is a strong emotion that holds no bounds weather it be by the mother or father :)

I dont really see why not. I think that they both show it in different ways, but fathers are usually just as loveing as mothers. Thay both play different rolls that help the babies upbringing. Thanks and Take care!!

Yes, and there is no reason to leave out feeding the baby. The father can bottle feed a newborn and bond just as well with the child as a mother. Or any other care taker. An adopted baby bonds with its parents even though their dna doesnt match. I have bonded with babies in my day care setting many times. All it takes is love,not a set of boobs.

I think they can altough most are not whatever the reason. However there are a lot of GREAT dads out there. Women are just naturally more nurturing most of the time.

Yes, but I think it is a differnt kind of loving. Men and women have different skills, women are more tender and the love we show is in our aura. Most times it comes so naturally to women, we can be loving and nuturing without even trying. Men find it more difficult to know what to do, they think they need to show love and attention in more overt ways. Like bonding with a baby can be as simple as looking into their eyes when you hold them, or change them and make them laugh. Some men think that they need to constantly be doing something with the baby to bond with them.

I believe a mother and a father can be equally matched. There are plenty of single fathers out there raising their children just as good or sometimes better then the mother. A father can be just as willing to make the sacrifices it taked to raise a child. Its just that most people don't give the fathers credit where credit is do.

Can a father be as loving.... definitely! Nurturing, maybe not. But I don't think women have a greater ability to love just because they have a greater ability to nurture. I do believe there is a deeper level of bonding that takes place between a mother and a child and that may be directly related to the nurturing aspect of a women. But fathers bond as well, and that bond is deep and very secure as well. In my opinion, a baby needs love and will receive it from wherever they can, be it an ape or a sibling. Fathers, if they have it to give, babies will take it all in.

No way a father can match a mother but there are some fathers who take care of a new born baby stuff but not like a mother. There a lot of reasons for the attitude of the fathers, some of them are boarders/have no patience/pre-occupied minds/a faulter. Some fathers go crazy to hear the cry of the baby. As I am on the topic, I know mothers who dont care for their babies, they are selfish mothers who think of their ownself leaving the child in the hands of the nannies.Mothers please do not do it, let the fathers do it, but a baby is a spiritual gift from God love them and guide them with whatever religion you are being blessed, so that this baby become a lovable person and will take care of you, when you require help and be thankful to you for giving him/her a loving life.

I think that a father can be, but not all do it, as good as a mother my husband does everything with our two sons they run to him and want daddy to fix it when they get hurt, or daddy feed me I am a stay at home mom and my husband works but my children perfer him and they are bathed and feed just like I would do it I guess I was lucky.
