Are dads always the inferior parent?

12 Comments

I know that girls and boys generally tend to prefer the parent of the opposite sex, but I often find that everyone loves their mums/moms more from a technical standpoint.

Personally, my parents both love me very much, but my mum is a way better parent and person technically than my dad, who is an aggressive, alcoholic, intellectually and socially unacceptable brute as I mentioned in my other story: (http://isitnormal.com/poll/my-dads-an-idiot-i-cant-bring-myself-to-love-him-as-a-parent-help-133209/) (no advertising intended.)

Yourselfs?

My dad is inferior. 20
My mum/mom is inferior. 22

    I agree with Charli. Your dad being a shit head doesn't go anywhere near reflecting the quality of all fathers and to be honest I have seen some really shitty Moms as well.

    I wish our society would reinforce more importance towards Fatherhood. I truly believe that many social problems within our society and our generation in particular could be rectified if Men were positively encouraged to be Fathers as much as Women are to be Mothers.

    Both have potential to be terrible parents. Neither one is inherently "inferior" to the other. Me, I like my dad more than my mom, and I'm a guy.

    I didn't chose either one because neither of my parents are inferior. They are both very good parents and I love them both very much, equally.

    I have to say no just because you used the word "always". That implies that every single one of the two billion or so fathers are worse than the mothers of their children. That's a statistical near-impossibility.

    If you're looking to answer from a very small sample size, though, then my father is inferior.

    No. Sometimes mothers are abusive and fathers are caring. It just varies from family to family. Also, some people have two fathers or two mothers, so there's that.

      And this. I worked for a family with two amazing dads. It pissed me off when people would say how "sad" it was their kids didn't have a mum.

    I don't think it's right to generalise this. I've known some amazing dads. My own dad was a shithead, but that doesn't mean I'll say all dads are the "lesser" parent.

    Quite frankly, that pisses me off.

    I don't even know anymore they're both f-ed up. Still love them though, from afar. XP

    This sounds kind of mean but I would have preferred my grandma raising me alone then with either of them or both of them.
