No one can deny the vital and fundamental role of women in raising children as a natural and principal responsibility. In many cultures, mother is a symbol of sacrifice and selflessness because of their unconditioned and inexhaustible love to their children. It is assumed that women are better nurturer than men are. However, on balance, I hold the view that both men and women are integral contribution of the children’ growth for the following reason.
In the first place, it goes without saying that parents are source of children support and guidance. If only a mother works on herself to rear children, is it true that her infant will develop in their full wing? She may be a very good mother who gives conscientious care as well as dedicated love to their children. Nevertheless, it will be better for the children who also deserve a father’s nourishment. As their children grow, fathers take on added roles of guiding their children's intellectual and social development. Even when a father is 'just playing' with his children, he is nurturing their development. For example, in one study, baby boys whose fathers engaged in physically playful, affectionate and stimulating play during infancy were more popular later as school children. Thus, both a mother and a father are important to an infant's development in special ways and their roles complement each other.
In the second place, mothers will benefit from fathers’ support. If a mother can count on her children' father to help with keeping the house clean and in good repair, caring for the children, paying the bills, and planning for the future, she probably will be a happier, more effective parent. The support a mother receives from her child's father can even help her be more competent and sensitive when feeding her baby.
Finally, today, living-cost climbs up day-by-day, so most families rely upon the incomes of both mothers and fathers. However, fathers still provide the lion's share of income. Fathers are either the sole earners or the main earners in two-thirds of two-parent households. Moreover, fathers' earnings are uniquely linked to many positive results for children, even when mothers' earnings are taken into consideration.
All things considered, I think a child who has both a mother and a father benefits from an increased richness of care. Parents, regardless of fathers or mothers, are the source of support for their children’ perfect growth.
