Maybe the real issue isn't who gets the credit, but that people tend to place almost all the responsibility on the parent who is more present. If that's the case, isn't absence the bigger problem than gender?
Yeah, it is the bigger problem. And a lot of the time, it's the fathers not being present.
I agree that absent fathers are a real issue. But I wonder if the blame falls on mothers mainly because they're usually the ones who stay. If the roles were reversed and the father was the present parent while the mother was absent.....
do you think society would blame him just as much? Maybe the issue is less about gender and more about who remains to carry the responsibility
Yeah, it is more about who carries the responsibility and both are supposed to.
I feel like it's about who carries the responsibility cos even mothers who fails to carry theirs are been nailed on the cross
