Are Women Better Parents Than Men?

are women better parents than men
Parenting is super challenging no matter what sex you are. As wonderful and amazing as it can be, it is also frustratingly difficult – and all the more so if you go it alone.

Both mom and dad bring a lot to the party, each with their own value and each equally important.

There are many different kinds of families out there. The most successful families are where the children feel secure from the parents both feeling loved AND appreciated by each other.

We all make mistakes. They are going to happen. The only thing that is perfect is knowing that your mate will still love you (and your children) and be there for you.

This reflects upon the children far more heavily than any of us realizes.

That is what makes good parents. Love.

So can women express love more than men?

I don’t believe so. I believe bio-individuality is applicable here. A woman that has had a traumatic experience as a child may not be able to express love as well as a man who was loved and cared for from the moment of his conception. Likewise, a man from a cold uncaring family may not be able to express care as well as a woman with the love of her parents.

Whether we care to admit it or not, our life experiences shape us. Some of us fall victim to our bad experiences and find it incredibly difficult to break away from that. This does not mean that we cannot be good parents offering love. It means, if we choose to bring a child into the world or adopt, then we need to take a risk to openly love that child and do the best that we can do for them – whether we are a mom or a dad.

So I don’t think women necessarily make better parents than men. We all make our own choices.

  1. I think you’re absolutely right, showing love is not the preserve of women, and it is love that makes a good parent. We do all make mistakes, but being engaged and invested in our children is what’s important. Great post, thanks for linking to #ThePrompt x
