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. Discuss and give your opinion.

There is a growing idea among the general population that,

mothers

should take whole the responsibility to raise the

children

since they have decided to have

children

.

However

, most communities oppose

this

opine since fathers should take the same responsibility as

mothers

. Since the concept of single parenting is out dating and fatherhood important to provide them with the necessities and security ,

this

writer believes that

both

parents

are equally important to build up a happy family.

To begin

with , single parenting is a developing culture in most societies due to various reasons.

Although

it may be unavoidable in rare circumstances like death or work abroad , the concept of a single mom should be given up since it can give negative factors for the growing child . To illustrate

this

, according to research published by the University of Colombo In 2018,

children

who have

both

parents

had done well in academic exams than

children

who were raised by their

mothers

only.

On the other hand

, for the protection of family and for providing them with the much needed daily necessities , fathers are very important .

moreover

,with their love and security , most

children

grow well and most families live happily .

For example

, one of my friends got married to a young mother with a child. After their marriage , the young child live happily since he was able to feel the father's love from my friend . In summary , even though some people try to put the duty of raising

children

on

mothers

' side , it would be negative effects on

children

and

on the other hand

,fatherhood is important as motherhood to bring up

children

since

children

always seek safeguard and love of

both

parents

.

Hence

this

writer believes that

both

parents

should take equal liability to raise their families.
