　　Mother knows the best?

　　Once while being prepped for a television interview, I waschatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers.I made the point that onereason we’re seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it’s no longer a given thata man makes more money than his wife.Many families now take earning power intoaccount when deciding which parent will stay home.

　　At that point，one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud

　　enough for my benefit，“It should be the better parent who stays home.”A lot of guys saythings like that.Usually it’s code for， “My wife(read：any woman)is the better parent.”

　　I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declarationmade me bristle.It implied that our family’s choice could only have beencorrect if 1 was a “better” parent than my wife.

　　I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind ofthinking.I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began stayinghome my wife was the “better” parent：She had spent more time with Ry,could read him better and calm himmore quickly.And given a choice.he’d have picked her over me.But as she was themore employable one.my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.

　　Know what? I caught up.Because of the increased time I spent withhim.I soon knew Ry well，understood what he needed and could look after him more or 1ess aswell as my wife could.Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of theworld’s great secrets：Women are good at looking after children because they do it.It’snot because of any innate female aptitude or a mother’s instinct--which I thinkis mostly learned anyway.It’s because they put in the time and attentionrequired to become good at the job.

　　Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth andnursing.but over the long term experience is more important.When I got theexperience myself, I was good.too.As good? I don’t know.Who cares? Children arenot made of glass.other people ale capable of looking after them besides Mom.
