From the traditional perspective which is carried out up to date by some communities and individuals, women had been regarded with the role of rearing children. Biologically it is a necessity that women give birth as well upholds the responsibility of feeding the baby. Traditionally, women were thus considered as natural parents while fathers were only regarded to be important during conception after which they were considered to be nuisance.
Though fathers are nowadays getting involved in child care more than they used to be, I strongly stand with the notion that women make good parents than men. At a closer look, women start bonding with their children right from the conception. This tends to bring them closer to the children and it is further facilitated by the daily routines they carry out to their children for example feeding to taking care of them.

It is known that a higher percentage of men whether working or not tend hang around more with their friends during their leisure time. In most cases they will show up in their home later in the day unlike women who always feel they have a duty to attend to making them spend more time at home thus more time to be with the children. I have personally witnessed this family members, my sister-in-laws husband rather go golfing or play cards on his days of then stay home with the children and spend time playing or interacting with them.
The other factor that makes women good parents is their innate nature of being more caring and forgiving. This puts them a notch higher than men for they will tend to forgive their children when they wrong unlike men who they immediate action in most cases will be to punish them. This will lead to morally upright children for they will have understood what is good and what is bad. Just imagine how the bible describes the woman after they ate the forbidden fruit. She was told
