I have a problem.

You seem more qualified to raise them, anyways. Who knows if he abuses them or not?

Honestly, you don't know any better of her, either. The internet is wonderfully anonymous, we can't make serious judgements based on hearsay evidence.

What's the age-old saying now? "All girls on the internet are guys and all children are FBI agents"?

"On the internet, nobody knows you're a cat!" demonstrates it quite well too, I feel.

Good luck with your situation, Hunsy.

I honestly don't know, but I am not going to say he is any less qualified than I am to raise children. It has always been my opinion, however, that it is the mother's place to raise the children, unless otherwise discussed by the parties involved. That in no way means that I think the father should not be involved at all.

Being a female doesn't make you any more qualified to raise a child than a male once a child is past breastfeeding. And really, breastfeeding isn't a necessity.

As a generalization, that's disputable.

I don't really see how having a vagina makes a woman more qualified. You might say that women are more gentle than men in general, but that isn't always true. There are some very gentle men and very brutish women.

Well, there is more of an evolutionary imperative for the mother to stay and nurture her child rather than the father due to the fact that the mother has a relatively limited number of gametes so she must nurture her young, whereas a father has practically an indefinite amount. The mother would have to adapt to be the natural nurturer.

Of course, you could make the counter-argument that the way that society is structured today the father may in fact be the better nurturer.

However, from the biological facts I have read it seems to me that the mother would be better in a natural setting to raise her young. There is circumstantial evidence for this. But this is just a generalization on my part. It is a theory I subscribe to. I never stated it as fact that the mother was better. I simply said that your statement was disputable.

Alright well when we go back to living in caves I'll agree with you. Until then, I don't think gender really has that much to do with it. I've seen some really shitty moms and I've seen some really shitty dads.

One, I already stated that I was not saying that the father was any less qualified than the mother.

Two, I also stated, that it is my OPINION that a mother should do the general child rasing. Plus, the only reason breastfeeding is not an issue now is because we have formula. Otherwise, the mother would be needed in order for the baby to survive.

That's more of a conservative approach, however I would be lying if I didn't say that I see more women than men with the patience and love to raise a child.
