I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking4．I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the“better”parent：She had spent more time with Ry，could read him better and calm him more quickly．And given a choice，he’d have picked her over me。．But as she was the more employable one．my wife went out to work and looked after our son．
Know what? I caught up．Because of the increased time I spent with him，I soon knew Ry well，understood what he needed and could 100k after him more or less as well as my wife could．Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets。：Women are good at looking after children because they do it．It’s not because。of any innate female aptitude or a mother’s instinct--which I think is mostly learned anyway．It’s because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job．
Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing，but over the long term experience is more important．Ⅵmen I got the experience myself,1 was good．too．As good? I don’t know．Who cares? Children are not made of glass．Other people are capable of looking after them besides Morn．
