It is a family matter, may be different for different people and in different families. A mother is naturally near to her children than a father. A father when understands the meaning of family, may become responsible but never equal. As the father is involved with the income, safety and security of his family it is also natural that he is mostly away from the dear ones in family. Sometimes few mothers are found in the destruction of a good family because of their self choices and flirting affairs etc.

I don't think that it is proper to say that a mother loves her child more than a father does. What I do think it is correct to say is that the way that parents love their children differently. There are things that mothers will do with their children that a father would never think of doing and there are things that a father will do with their children that a mother would never consider doing. It's not at all that I think the role of one parent is better than the other because I think it takes two parents to raise a well-rounded child.

Hi! I congratulate you, on holding me to your response for the discussion that i have started. I am happy that people have lot to say about this and myself too feel that in this 21st century women is more thant a mother.Therfore both father and mother are playing combined and effective role when they have started to live a serious and model family life.

am sorry but that is a very sexist remark, "mother loves and looks after the children better than a father" That might of been the case in the stoneage lol, we are in the 21st century, I am a single dad have them all full time and they are my life I earn and support my family and its only me. I discipline them, love them wipe their bums etc etc, I don't understand how you can make a remark liek the title of this discussion everybody is different some moms walk awy from their kids some dont same as some dads do, there is no stereo typical family anymore, its the 21st century and both parents can be equally loving.

Well, I can't say a mother is always better in looking after the children as compared to the father. As you said, it's different for every person. I know some mothers don't really like to take care of the babies. But if two persons also love the baby very much, I do agree that mother may want to be closer to the baby. I suppose it's because the baby was in the mother's body for more than 9 months, and the mother feels that it's part of her. No matter how, the father hardly understands the feeling and he'll never experience that. Though my baby is going to be 11 months old soon, I still feel the bonding very strong between us.

I agree with you to a certain extent. There have been plenty of mothers who, after giving birth, never bonded with their children the way they should have, so the father has to step up to the plate and become the father AND mother. It's true that in history the father has always been seen as the money maker and protector of the family, but there's nothing wrong with it being the other way around. Lots of mothers prefer to work while their husbands or the baby's father stays at home with the child(ren). It really just depends on what's right for their family, and that's completely up to the parents.
