Women are better at childcare than men therefore they should focus more on raising children and less on their working life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Although both parents contribute to bring a new life, one aspect of this process which only women are blessed with, giving birth to a new life. Therefore, it is considered that the mother can nourish a child in a better way than the father. For this reason, it is often argued that a mother should devote more time to bring up a child rather than on a job. While acknowledging that a mother can care for a child, I believe that both the parents have different roles but equal responsibility in this. On the one hand, women can raise a child better than men. Firstly, mother gives birth to the new born, and therefore, they develop a great bond and attachment with one other. A new born is dependent on his mother for well nourishment, cleaning and caring well. During the initial period of life, a baby learn various things from his mother and tends to follow it. Therefore, a mother can impart good nature and behaviour, and raise him to a better person which definitely proves to be helpful for the child's future. On the other hand, it is a responsibility of both the parents to raise and provide a better life to their child. Although father does not give birth to a child, he shares the responsibility of raising the children. While a mother physically cares her child, a father can provide financial support for better education and a well-being of the child. Father has a different role to play in the life of his children. He teaches them ethics and discipline. He can be a role model by being an ideal father, and thus, children can learn and try to become more like him. In conclusion, the mother certainly plays a crucial role in raising a child, however, it is the support and caring of both the parents which is essential for upbringing of a child to make him a better person.
