Although mother and father both play a crucial role for proper upbringing their children.But there are some people who claim that,mothers are contribute much time then their father.On contrary,a substantial number of pupils are considered that fathers contribute a significant role in children’s life.But people have strong feelings about their arguments.However,in my opinion,father and mother both are equally dedicate themselves for caring.Both sides will be discussed before reaching a reasonable conclusion.
On the one hand, men have been more responsible to their children financially.Men spend their money for their offspring which is really difficult for women.Moreover,fathers are more serious to punish their children so that they avoid crimes.For instance,my younger cousin is now criminal it happened only for his mother because his mother always restrain his father to punish.Furthermore, father makes sure his children’s future about financial.
On the other hand, mothers have a closer sensational relationship with their offspring then fathers as well as bonding with mothers is more strong.Moreover, mothers spend much time with their children.In addition,in many countries women are not involved with working as a result they get escope to spend their time with their children.For instance, if a child is crying no one can control even after given so many toys wherever mother comes to child,stop crying .Furthermore,women are genetically efficient at upbringing.
To conclude, in my point of view,a kid needs enough affection and care of parents.But in our society women are superior at caring for their children.
