“Fatherhood ought to be emphasised as much as motherhood. The idea that women are solely responsible for deciding whether or not to have babies leads on to the idea that they are also responsible for bringing the children up.” To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In traditional societies, the mother always had the responsibility to take care of the

children

whilst the father was financially providing.

However

, in modern times, I believe

parents

are equally important responsibility for

children

.

Firstly

, nowadays, due to the pressure and competition in finding a job, it is very difficult to find a job that can provide for the whole family.

Besides

, women are now well educated and have the same ability to find good jobs as men.

Therefore

, to meet

children

's basic needs

such

as food, clothing, and education, both

parents

need to contribute. The financial sharing from the mother will reduce the financial burden on the father and make the family atmosphere less stressful, making everyone in the family happy, including the

children

. In order to reduce the burden of women in housework, men should

also

share the daily chores in the family.

Secondly

, to become a good physical and character person,

children

need

parents

to guide them to the right way to achieve

this

.

For example

, the father should spend time playing with

children

, taking them to sports games

such

as football, baseball. These can make the child active, confident and fatherhood is more bonding.

On the other hand

, the mother can teach them etiquette as well as good behaviours. In conclusion, an ideology exists that because women take full responsibility for decisions about childbearing, she

also

is responsible for rearing the child, I believe that

this

idea is absolutely faulty. Because with sharing child-rearing,

parents

can make a happy, safe home environment for their kids.
