Dads vs Moms
I found this great article about some differences between moms and dads. Specifically, this particular mom had been a stay-at-home-mom at least part of the time. At some point, her husband had to sort of take over that role. In her article, the mom pointed out the differences in their parenting styles, and essentially equated them to differences in gender. She says that we should be celebrating the differences we have. I think she's right! We've seen indications that there are in fact differences between the genders. We've seen differences in the way our brains are laid out, differences in learning, differences in temperament and behavior. As with other differences that we celebrate, why not celebrate the differences typically exhibited by
Stay-at-home moms vs. dads: There’s a difference!
Huffington Post blogger Kathleen Hogan says that we need to stop specifying the gender of stay-at-home parents. Stay-at-home mom Jennifer Pinarski disagrees.
"There are differences between the genders. Those differences are important. Those difference should be celebrated and identified by calling them by their hard won job titles of stay-at-home mom and stay-at-home dad."
