Are parenting roles really “Mom” and “Dad” or are they male and female?
thebuffettour asked:
I am wondering about something. My wife’s half sister is a lesbian and has a child with her partner. Now my MIL says that her daughter is more the “mom” and her partner is more the “dad”. That got me thinking about the roles of mom and dad and if there are certain traits assigned to these roles.
I am wondering because it seems there is a strong trend (led by women) to make both parenting roles to be alike so that both mother and father pretty much do the same thing.
