Surely, this essential question has been asked and commented on from people around the world for ages. Women often complain about how hard it is being a stay-at-home mom. I think being a mom is important and she has places many sacricifes of life and the life of her chid in doing this. So, I value the stay-at-home mom. But, Men work work long hours to provide for their families, only to be told they aren't doing enough around the house. Who do you think has the harder job in parenting a child...the Moms or the Dads?

Clearly, the essential question isn't whether it's the moms or dads who have the hardest job, but, I would say is why anyone would go into parenting without fully investigating whether they're got the PARTNER and FINANCIAL and EMOTIONAL wherewithal to raise another human being? Please. be free to share your views!

You've heard the saying "30 seconds of Passion, can result in a LIFETIME of headaches! And when Mothers-to-be, becoming pregnant and passing it all off, with their lame utterings that it just "HAPPENED!" THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, UNLESS THEY HAVE ALL THE ESSENTIALS TO RAISE A CHILD, IN THE FIRST PLACE! You KNOW? THINGS DO HAPPEN FOR A REASON!

As for those who do NOT have the essentials (or have what it takes to parent a child), childhood tragedies (unwanted pregnancies) can be averted with helpful tools like the child-proof cap- the one that comes in a little plastic packet labled Durex or Trojan. parent a child.

Kids are hard to raise period... And if you are talking more than one then you talking work. Distinct personalities, and one person to wrangle them. I think the job would be equally as hard.professor JMHO

yes, both parents have hard jobs! I believe it should be equal between both parents . But the point i was trying to make washow how importnat it is for both prospective parents to have the necessary background, as to whether they've got the partner, financial and emotional wherewithal to raise a child.

Just curious, in Iran if a couple divorces and they have a young infant, who was before the divorce nursing every three hours round the clock, and he gets custody, how is she able to nurse the baby?

If you have the skills to raise a child (ren)
it doesn't matter what gender you are.

I did both, work and raise, and raising kids alone is way harder than going to work.I think at this point it made me crazy and uptight the kids are older still at home and it is nuts.

I'd say the child has the hardest job...it ain't easy filtering out all the emotional baggage that a child is afflicted with from it's parents and grow up emotionally healthy.

It's one of lifes ironies that people need to pass a test to do just about anything in life but anyone...no matter how screwed up they are...is allowed to bear children.

Really, I don't think it's too much to ask that a person pass some type of emotional health exam before they are allowed to give birth. Otherwise we're just saddling our offspring with our fears and insecurities which just stacks the odds against them for leading happy lives.

Lee, that was my point EXACTLY....many couples are immature and NOT RESPOnsible for raising a child...particularly in the EMOTIONAL department! This is where picking the right Partner to have a child falls into play. IT was not whose JOB was harder, becuase there is EQUAL responsibilities to raise a child...NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!
