Band 6

These days more fathers stay at home and take care of their children while mothers go out to work. What could be the reasons for this? Do you think it is a positive or a negative development?

#fathers #home #care #children #mothers #work #development
Considering that since not a long time ago, a majority of fathers prefer to stay at
home
 to supervise their
children
 when the mothers go to
work
 at their job, linked to certain causes like the evolution of the
role
 of parents. Personally, I believe that it has a positive impact.
First,
there are a lot of reasons to explain the fact that many fathers take care of their
children
while
 mothers go out to
work
,
likewise
, the feminist movement which is growing little by little changing gender roles to be more equal having the same
role
, could be one of them. To illustrate
this
 argument we can take the example that recently a friend of mine had a child and the question of taking care of the child with
work
, has been an important source of conflicts between them. In my opinion, it is a very positive development, showing that society is evolving
instead
 of a few years ago when it was the opposite ,and I think it contributes to the change of mind of the young generation, who may not have the same perspectives as before.
For instance
, my cousin just had a kid and just started to
work
 at
home
 and took the initiative to remain
home
 to improve his
role
 as a father.
To conclude
, the
role
 of genitors has evolved recently with an increasing number of fathers choosing to stay at
home
 to take care of their
children
, researching equality with looking after their
children
. I
also
 approve of the idea of a positive impact and development.
