And then there are people who say one gender is better at parenting than the other! May be that’s the reason more and more single celebrity becoming solo parent.
By default, mothers are generally viewed as the “Parent” because she’s the one with the child since birth and look after the child’s every need (at least for the initial stage – the first few days or even months!) One then would have thought ‘mothers’ should be held in high esteem! But no, oh no. A stay home mom is viewed as a non-careered person; they can’t compete with their counterpart – the working mom! More often than not, the stay-home moms are being discriminated upon!
And what about the stay home dad? What is wrong with husbands that stay at home and look after the children and the mothers ‘bring home the bacon’? I know of at least a handful of stay-home dads that did a very good job at raising children. Not only can they cook, they can even iron the most difficult dress for their wife and daughters! But how much are they being value in our society?
Where parenthood is concern, there are lots of support group for the female parent but for the male parent, there doesn’t seem to be many.
