Men can do just as good a job at raising kids - IF MOTHERS AND THE COURTS WOULD JUST GIVE THEM THE CHANCE.
YES!!! Unfortunately some Fathers just don't make the effort. THOSE are the ones that ruin it for the rest!

I have to admit, I wasn't thinking about the women who do not act responsibly and make no effort to provide their own income for their family. I'm sure there are as many examples of these irresponsible mothers as there are Deadbeat Dads. I know a few of them.

I was thinking about my own situation, a FT working mother making a comparable wage to her husband and doing 90% of the child care. Based on his past efforts, he has not taken responsibility for his child. Should one automatically be given a second chance at parenting or should they have to earn it?
