03/27/2006 | no one is born an expert at child rearing. it is one of the hardest things a mother or father can do. it is true that just because someone is a woman does not mean she is always the one who knows how to raise a kids. I have seen men who are terrific at being with kids. i think it depends on the individual person. it does help to stand together with rules and raising them as much as possible becase they would pick up on disagreements quickly. not such a good thing when they play the parents against one another.

03/25/2006 | I didn't think I had a motherly bone in my body until I gave birth to my first child. I don't assume anything about child rearing. It is as new to me as it is to my husband. True, there are things that do come natural....the motherly instinct, etc. but I know that my husband can handle the kids just as well.

03/24/2006 | I have a bias on this one because my ex-wife relegated me to the sidelines after our first child was born. She was the expert. She was the one who read all the books. And she was the one that took my three daughters 2000 miles away from me. Results? Eldest and middle child on heroin. Eldest child killed in a preventable accident at age 22. I now have contact with only the youngest daughter, who lives in France. A mother's brainwashing her children for revenge against the other parent will pretty much ruin lives, namely, the childrens'. It is an evil that has far-reaching effects for a long, long time.

03/24/2006 | Well, this is going to seem un-PC, but in fact I do believe that women are generally better at child rearing than men. Plenty of exceptions to the rule, but this is my experience and observation. I think I am an excellent father, but certain aspects of child rearing come much more naturally to my wife. Is it biological, or social conditioning? I suspect it's a combination.
Again, I'm sure there are plenty of exceptions. And I in no way make this argument to suggest that women should always be the one to stay home and make the career sacrifices, or that men should be at a disadvantage in all custody cases. I am simply pointing out that women are on average more nurturing than men.

03/24/2006 | Because of my lifes experiences, (being a single father of two kids from age 1.5 & 3.5 for six years before marrying a second time)I cannot accept this kind of attitude that many women have but often will not admit to. I understand the feelings they have or try to but still will not accept it. Not every woman is automatically a good mother simply because she carries the child around for 9 months in her womb, it is a learned behavior like so many things from your parents. Dads, always remember that you should have the same influence and impact on your children as thier mother has. It takes work, but is worth every bit of your time.
