First

and foremost, raising children right is the most important responsibility of any parent. Children who are raised right not only have a good life, but

also

contribute positively towards building a better society. Bringing up our offsprings well would mean not just taking care of their physical and financial needs,

in addition

means investing time and energy in adhering to their emotional, mental and intellectual needs. Parenting in my opinion is an equal responsibility of both parents. Being a mother myself, I believe that men too have a similar skill set when it comes to parenting. Though, the traditional view puts the mother on the mantel saying that women are more sensitive and sensible, so they make better parents, in my personal experience, men as well have the same sensibilities when it comes to looking after a

. We, are definitely observing

this

more in the modern society where work allows even dads to take paternity leave due to which they are able to form a stronger bond with their kids from day 1. Like, my husband had taken a paternity leave when my daughter was born, and he took part in all the chores of the newborn from feeding to changing diapers. So, by the end of the 1st month itself, my husband

also

knew what my baby's cry meant, which traditionally most believe only the mother knows. And, since he formed

such

a strong bond at an early stage, even today when my

child

is nearly 3 years old, he knows what she is thinking or feeling, sometimes even better than me. I have observed a similar pattern in most of my friends

where

have the quality of being; (copula, used with an adjective or a predicate noun)

were

fathers spend enough time with the

child

and saw the contrary, to be true where father had gone back to work immediately. In conclusion, parenting is a wholesome job of the parents and both the mom and dad have similar sensibilities and skills to bring up a

child

well it is just a matter of letting go of the traditional misgivings and enjoying parenthood to the maximum.
