Band 5

Many people believe that women make better parents than men and that this is why they have a greater role in raising children in most societies. Others claim that men are just as good as women at parenting. Write an essay expressing your point of view. Give reasons for your answer.

This
 has been a topic, wrangling over many years. In my opinion, equality being the buzzword of the day,
both
parents
 play a vital role in raising their child irrespective of genders. From the time of antiquity,
both
 females and males were parted on their

 skills. The custom showcased women sitting back at home looking after children, while men were responsible for earnings. The people at that time believed that females were better

 raising children than males. The male domineering society applauded and encouraged
such
 irrational thinking. But now, people are coming out of
such
 yokes of irrational thinking and henceforth a notable change in situation is being witnessed. In the present day, where equality rules, there is less emphasis on

 responsibilities. Considering a mediocre family, where
both

 work,
both
 share all household duties, there does not even arise a question of not sharing

. An ideal exemplification would be my own case, where my wife and myself share responsibilities when it comes to raising our daughter. We switch duties according to our office schedules and no difference

 exists ever.
This
 would be the case of mass, where nuclear family prevails, with no room for

 inequality. To conclude, I would like to mention that
parenthood
 is not weighed on one’s
gender
 rather it is measured on one's dedication and care. So no matter what
gender
 you belong to, you should be assiduous and provide the best possible environment for your children to blossom. It becomes ideal when
both

 compete out of caring in upbringing their child.
