Fatherhood ought to be emphasized 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?

We live in a modern era where equality is being promoted everywhere including in workplaces, society and even families.

This

is why child-rearing should be a responsibility

that is

shared by

both

parents

.

To begin

with, traditional roles of males and females are changing, and in some cases, have gone completely reversed.

This

is why the predefined responsibilities of mothers and fathers are a thing of the past. Traditionally, a mother takes charge of the everyday activities of bringing up

children

, whereas a father is responsible for providing the basics for the

children

as well as the family. With a shifting trend when engineering universities have more female graduates and males have paternal leaves,

this

is no longer applicable. Rather a father should share those daily activities, spend as much time as possible with the family, play with the

children

, read to them, take them out or even clean their diapers, whereas capable females should share the financial responsibilities.

Moreover

, a child needs

both

parents

' care, love and attention to properly grow up. Research proves that attention from

both

parents

often instils better qualities and emotional balance in them than in

children

who grow up without the attention of

both

. The concept of "fatherhood" is not easy to achieve especially in countries where economic and employment situations are stressful.

However

, a little effort from

both

parents

can ensure a shared responsibility and better family bonds in which

children

get the proper care. In conclusion,

parents

in modern times should be ready to share their responsibilities for the greater benefit of the child and their family.

This

is why fatherhood should be as much important as motherhood.
