"Fatherhood ought to be emphasized as much as motherhood. The idea that women are solely responsible for deciding whether or not to have babies leads on to the idea that they are also responsible for bringing the children up." To what extent do you agree or disagree?

For nine to ten months, a woman endures the drastic physiological and emotional changes that pregnancy brings about. Because of

this

, a woman has the greatest right to decide on whether she will have a

child

or not. An ideology exists that because women take full responsibility for decisions about childbearing, she

also

is responsible for rearing the

child

. I believe that

this

idea is absolutely faulty.

Firstly

, decisions about childbearing may be greatly affected by the woman's choice.

However

, other factors are

also

considered

such

as a couple's financial ability to support a

child

's growth. Aside from that, parenthood is a shared responsibility. A

father

's role is not limited to sperm donation but

also

includes changing diapers in the middle of the night.

Also

, a

father

should always be involved in

child

rearing because there are activities that are best suited to be done by a

father

figure,

such

as bringing the

child

to a sports event.

Consequently

, a

child

who rarely sees one's

father

creates a negative perception of him and may possibly create a stronger relationship with the mother alone.

In addition

, women are different in the modern era. More women are breaking the traditional view that they are confined to the four walls of the home as a housewife.

Therefore

, there should be a joint agreement between both parents divide the tasks. To cite an example, a mother would send the

child

to school while a

father

will be in charge of picking up the

child

after class. In conclusion, I firmly believe that it is time to abolish the idea of putting the entire

child

rearing work on women. The idea of shared parenthood must be implemented to keep up with the change in family dynamics that occurred over the years.
