Double Standard...........Your Take

A child is a product of two people - a man and a woman.

The upbringing of a child is supposed to be collective becos each party has a part to play to bring up a child well.

Now when a child turns out right, he or she is called the father's child.  In other words, the man takes the praises for raising up such a nice child.

But when a child turns our wrong, he or she is called the mother's child.  Here you find the father telling the mother, he/she is your child, no longer our child.

Now I have been wondering how come a bad child is always the mother's when it is both parties that were or are supposed to be involved in the upbringing of the child.

Yea yea, I know that the woman is the one mostly with the children (that is no longer the case in most homes these days when women also have to help to provide for the family) but I think that if a child turns out fine, both parents should take the praise and not just the man and if a child turns out wrong, both parents should take the blame.....It is time we stop the double standard......

Surely, Where was she when the child was turning wayward?

This is not only in human beings, even in animals. It is the woman's job to make sure the baby grows up right and the man has to take the glory for a job well done by the woman.

When you call the good child the father's child, it means you have claimed the praises na

It is the father that taks the credit, not the mother, dont you get that yet, because the credit should and will always to go to the Man.

See what am talking about?.........

Where was the man too when the child went bad?.....they made the baby together and they both should be involved in the upbringing of the child....

and if the man can take the glory for a job well doen, he should also take the the blame when things turn sour..........QED

If the child turns out bad that means while the man was going into the fields to provide for the family,the wife was busy gossipping or watching nollywood lol.
