FATHERS,,, can you be a father and mother at the same time?

A few men can do this but not all. Women can easily tackle both roles, but with men, I don't know. When you leave them to take care of the house and kids, I think many of them just don't do it. When their wives reach home, the poor wives are left to do the chores that the lazy husband did not do while in the house the whole day. I think there is something wrong with their brains, lol.

hi jessica, i know men are really different from women,my friend! there are lots of things man can handle being also a mother to their children. well,it's just the fact that men have been used to do just their thing,not the household chores and taking care of children.while,most women have been used to household chores and knows how to fix their child's hair grooming. women can do also office jobs or handle different kinds of work. it's just the fact that men are not born to do all things multi tasking and it's hard for them to do these things themselves.it takes a lot of efforts before they master doing being both father and mother. that's why i love being a woman. i can do all things. proud to be a woman!

Because parents have raised their sons up to be served by a woman. I don't think they're helping them in the least by doing that. Maybe your office mates husband doesn't know how to help her because he was never taught. She should show him and walk him through the process. If he still won't help after learning how then she should pack his crap and shove it out the door. He helped to create those kids. I find it funny when a man scream about how they have no say about abortions and things like that when it comes to their kids but then they don't do anything to help physically taking care of them.

Sure, I don't know why they couldn't be both at the same time. I know I had to be both as a single parent, and I know a man who totally raised his son alone. I am sure that there is some element of having to play both parts at one time or another. One cool thing is my daughter sent me a "happy father's day" message once. Because she realized I'd had to do both parts!

I think a lot of it depends on the individual, a lot of men do think that housework and taking care of the kids is a women's thing to do, and a lot of men find it difficult to accept that a woman is out there providing instead of them, but I know men that do the housework and cooking at take care of children, and they do it just as well as a woman, I think it is down to the man as to what they think is right to do, or what they want to do. Maybe they do just get used to having things like that done for them, so find it hard to do it themselves.
