Hello, everybody. My name is Aidana Rysmendiyeva, I'm from Kazakhstan. I'd like to show my point of view about this theme. For me, both of parents play a big role in children's life because from the mother's side children get a lot of care, different advice, but father can also give useful advice, for example, for son. In my family, for example, there are three children: me, little brother (he is 10) and little sister ( she is 5). And both parents are very good parents, because our mother does her "mother's" obligations very well, such as she indulges us by many tasty food, she cleans our rooms, clean our clothes and even works at hospital. Father also does a lot for us - he works every day, he tries to learn us how to live in this modern world, he gives a lot lf useful advice and, of course, we get a lot of love and care from both of our parents. So, for me Both of parents are very good.

It is difficult to say who is better?! Personally for me, they are both)))They are the best for me and even they ban many things, i love them)) because they gave me a Life<3 In my foundation course i heard one quotation that on the one ship cannot be two captains. But i disagree with this, because it can be, like in my family. My father and mother are equal and make decisions together. As u know, Children reach out more to their mothers than to their fathers. It may be because the mother spends more time with the child. Of course, it is typical situation in each family. Mothers take care about their children and fathers earn money.

In my opinion, we cannot judge who is better mother or father. Both of them tries to give for their child all the best!!! We must appreciate everything, what our parents do for us<3

Yeah, mothers don't punish you when you do something wrong, but is it right when parents dont punish children? I think if parents don't punish their child in future he will smoke and drink do bad things and other.

Simply by the title of their role (mother/father) does not make one better than the other.

Moms are more responsible and take more care about children.

They have better developed parental instinct. For example my mom always worry about what I ate today, what I put on myself, how I get to home and how I passed my exams ans so on. I know one good expression: Only moms carry us 9 months in the abdomen, 3 years on her hands and the whole life in her heart

There are fantastic mothers and there are fantastic fathers. There are also terrible mothers and terrible fathers. Neither is absolutely "better" than the other.

IMO fathers are better. Infact statistically we KNOW they are better. Research after research shows that that fathers commit less child abuse and that mothers are more likely to enact sexist attitudes to their children. One of the common proponents that mothers are better is the so called 'mother-child bond'. What exactly does this mean? Its true that the early years of interaction are important but it is only significant from the POV of that mothers hog their child. If you remove mothers from the equation fathers would fill this role and do all the eye contact and holding from an early age. The problem is that society tells men they HAVE to work so they have never had this opportunity.

Furthermore, look at what mothers have done in the past 30-40 years. They would rather outsource taking care of their children to some concentration camp, better known as a nursery, so that they can do their unnecessary job. What was the point of 2nd wave feminism? Giving up staying at home with your children to go work as a receptionist. Yeah real fulfilling. 65% of public sector jobs are women and yet how many of these jobs are actually necessary?

Then there is divorce. 3/4 are initiated by the woman and the most common reason is 'dissatisfied'. Too bad! You made a commitment. Marriage isn't for the couple its for the children and their development. You can't just leave because you are bored. Then of course there is the army of single parent mothers. The majority are now by choice despite the statistics showing how detrimental it is to the child.

In a recent study if has been found that lesbian couples do WORSE than single mothers. What does this tell you? It tells you that women do not deserve their praise for child rearing. It is a myth that they are better parents. They only see a child as a puppy and when it is no longer Christmas they get bored and abusive.

I'm going to go with both being important- or at least, somebody taking on the roles of 'father' and 'mother' in a non-traditional family.

Mothers raise children, and fathers raise adults. Both pieces are important. Again, I'm talking about the role, not necessarily the sex of the parents. Both affection and authority are necessary in my opinion.

mother and father both are equal values because they are lots of sacrifices for our children they both are pay better education good behavior etc

It is difficult to say who is better, I lost my father at the age of six. I don't know what is fathers careful child, but i think Father is important people in children life as mother. Mothers usually are to weak and give to their children all that they want, however fathers are more powerful and they love their children, but don't give so much freedom like mothers. That’s why I think both are good parents

in my opinion, fathers are better parents.

first of all, in difficult cases, they never lose their minds and decide problems briefly, but mothers begin panic, cry, shout!

for example, daughter wants go to night club and asks a permission, what dad will say!:"NO"!!! thats all!!! briefly and understandable!!!but mom will say that may be it was a bad idea, may be it was better to stay at home...eventually daughter just will go to this night club throuhg the window!
