Do you think or believe a mom can grow her son to be a man, and can a father grow his daughter to be a woman?

Question

Great question! I love how this one made me really have to think.

Mom raised man over here!
Man raised man over here!

Before the confusion, I did purposely choose. No, a woman can't raise boy to become man. And decided not to, because I am more strongly believe in my first decision. I would assume the opposite would be the same (dad can’t raise a girl to become a woman) for the same reasons, I’ll explain. And the confusing part is that I actually think yes and no for even both of these but, I lean way more towards, No, mom/dad can’t raise the opposite to either “man”, or “woman”.

I believe they cannot fully finalize and show a boy the ropes to climb in order to be a man. That’s it! My dad wasn’t around at the time I was becoming a man I had to use my elders around me that were men (luckily, I have older brothers which helped me 🙏💪) uncles, neighbors that I trusted and looked up to and so eventually I learned to look up to myself and even learned to not think too highly of myself, as I can look up to a younger peers as well. You don’t become a man overnight. And if you don’t have a positive male figure in your life as a boy. For that mom, let’s hope he’s a trustworthy listener who doesn’t need discipline and helps himself because these are some of the important things men need is to be self sustaining or lean towards prodiving. There’s even handfuls of specific things that men do that women just don’t do that men provides for the family all the time simple things like cutting the grass, fixing shit, moving shit, building shit, water heaters! I would never mention a water heater, even if it was my job to a woman. Unless she asked about this water heater men have solid bonuses, but not men have the same attributes evenly do you know what I’m saying. And I am a state that, especially because I’m on gag, a woman can do all of those things, if not even better than men!💪 but I’ll put my money on the water heater any day!

I’m not gonna dive to deep, but same goes, for the opposite scenario. A man can definitely teach a girl to be somewhat lady like and have manners and shit but it would be great and best if she had a positive female model in her life that can show her things I can’t even if they’re a little things it’s the whole category and a big amount of little things believe it or not that shape her into the woman she will become. I sadly will even have a more specific distinction. I think it would be easier for a man to raise a girl to be a woman than a woman, to raise a boy to be a man.
Because of the water heater thing.
Only kidding but I will say men Are more likely to get involved with more risky activity on the day today. I’m not saying all but I believe it’s safe to say a vast majority of women not only mature faster, but actually more women are in school than men and I think now more than ever. Take that men, and your water heaters! You go girls!

I have dated too many single mothers with no positive male role models in in their lives to believe that it is possible. Family units are more effective when there are two parents in the household Mother and Father.

In the 1980/90s it was all about children being victims of broken families through divorce. Now its about single parents without husbands and wifes rasing child with beleive they can do it all on their own and manage just it all without another man or woman in their children's life to set a positive example for them.

How does a mother teach or son to be a good man? What expertise does she have at being a good man? This does not make her a bad mother or person... but she is not a man.

So if you the question is do I think every child is best served with a mother and father figure in their lives, then answer is most definitely, and research proves it.

Look at the world we live in with second generation of single parents' children coming to age and gender confusion... you see the correlation, right?

When your husband up and leaves you and your son, you must become a very attentive mom. Be full blown into his life and what's going on with him.
Teach him good manners. Love him always.
I would have more things to put down, but the way things are so crazy now, I better stop now.

Kids really just need to learn to be strong compassionate respectful people. Their natural interests and proclivities will smooth out the rough edges, in my opinion it does not matter the sex of the parent & child but the space & dignity for development

Nigjt · Answer

Well let me out it this way consider this to be a very good question because such one is myself being a Man and a father two girls and boys that I've had to raise by myself because either their mother wouldn't stop doing drugs or would not behave as a mother or wife should so I do speak from personal experience about these two subjects boys and girls I have done both and I say this as a proud father our boys and girls it is not easy being a single father and raising a little girl so if you truly want to learn and you truly love your kids you will do everything in your power to learn what you will need to learn about raising a daughter from a to z or from 0 to 100 whichever style of platform you choose to call it but I do say that if you are a father raising a little girl it is quite the challenge but again I am a proud father and I did or need to be done those many years ago and still to this day now about boys being raised by single father it is also a challenge but just as well that is equal because girls are more of a challenge for a single father but when it comes to boys it is less of a challenge for a single father so if you are a man reading this and you're raising a daughter and a son at the same time I'm pretty sure you know what I'm saying because women do it all the time I just wish that man was Step Up to the home plate and proved himself as an equal parent and more deserving of the challenge thank to those who read this and I do wish you a many blessed night and day God bless and love to all

TheThingALing · Answer

I think both can as in it is possible however, in either case, the kid is better off with both..

I suspect your question was really asking, in what living arrangement of the two that you provided, tends to result in better outcomes for the particular child.

As a guy, I know the issues a boy is likely to go through without a male parent and can come up with some potential situations that might make a daughter without a mother figure might see. But to come up with these potential situations, I have to envision me being in the father role. Seeing as though I'm playing the father, Ill find it difficult to envision that is make few if any mistakes otherwise that would be like me dreaming I'm in a fight at night while sleeping, and I'm seeing I'm getting my ass kicked.

nolabels · Answer

Generally speaking, I'd say that those aren't ideal situations, but not impossible.

I lost my dad to cancer when I was 11 years old. I'm sure that things would be different today if my dad had been there.

It's a very complex subject.

I'm for it being made as simple as possible by not intentionally introducing complexities.

bolverk · Answer

Yes, a dad can teach his daughter to be a woman, He'll will research the hell out of being the best parent he can be to his daughter, and will not shirk away from bringing in outside female help with subjects he feels he is not qualified to deal with.

Vegasrunner · Answer

It's easier for a man to raise a daughter than a woman to raise a sin. The world is tougher for men than women so as a father all you have to do is protect and defend. A mother can't really teach a boy how to compete in the world against other men because she doesn't have any experience doing it.

DaisyM23 · Answer

yes to both - i honestly just think that as long as a child has love and care with a nice bit of discipline mixed in, as well as good role models (not necessarily parental) from both men and women, they can grow up pretty well although

RingOfFire · Answer

Absolutely. It's no coincidence that nature created two genders. The ideal family consists of a male and a female parent and the different kinds of influence that the children (both boys and girls) receive from each is critical to their healthy development. You can dislike the results of millions of years of evolution of the nuclear family but you cannot argue with its endurance and success.

Anonymous · Answer

A single father has a much greater chance of raising a daughter to be a good woman than a single mother has of raising a son to me a good man.

The vast majority of single mothers are incapable of raising sons to be healthy, well adjusted men, and that is one of the biggest reasons western society in in the toilet.

Anonymous · Answer

a child will regardless grow to be a man if he's a boy and a woman if he's a girl, with absent parents or not.

Having parents however makes that child's life happier and easier.
having a real Woman MOTHER is ideal for growth as we mimic what we see as children
and having a real MAN FATHER is ideal for growth as we mimic what we see as children

this is all common sense.

Today's world wants to ignore common sense to agree with the mentally ill to meet some agenda

inhua · Answer

highly unlikely. a son still needs a father figure in his life and when he lacks that, he seeks it elsewhere whether it's in other male family members, a teacher, a neighbor, a famous celebrity, gang members etc.

HighValue · Answer

The father is more important for both a son and daughter. Look at crime statistics, depression, suicide, success/failure in school. Two parent homes as nd single father homes usually do well, but single mother homes BY FAR have worse outcomes for their children.

lightbulb27 · Answer

I found this to be striking... In general, you want both parents working together.

Chthou95 · Answer

No a mom can't teach a son how to be a man because she's not a man. Men and women are different both physically and mentally. Men view the world through the man's lens and women view the world through a women's lens. Men that are usually raised by mothers have feminine traits and are more emotional. Same thing happens when a father isn't there. A father needs to teach his son how to be a man

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Growing to be a man or woman is something that occurs naturally on its own.  The mom or dad just has to raise their child with love, guidance and discipline and they will be fine as adults.

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

No and no. Fathers can raise boys into men and only mothers can raise girls into women. Both parents play a very important part in a child’s life but only the parent of the same gender/sex can raise that child into an adult

molonski2 · Answer

I would have voted positive for 2 , father and mother , this was not an option.. Most certainly BOTH can assist daughter / son.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Your quesion implies that either is taught.  Chromosomes, puberty, and growth stages automatically make men and women. How a person acts or is raised has no relevance to that.

stepyo99 · Answer

No, both will be missing half the equation. Both parents are absolutely necessary to successfully raise a child.

ImalwaysrightOK · Answer

Women are incapable of raising a boy to become a man. It's why society is so fucked up nowadays. Too many single mothers. Absent fathers.

maskgirl · Answer

I mean some fathers know how to take care of their daughter and it depends if a woman can raise her son as amen because she is a woman there is some question she might not know when he gets older and ask her

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

It is possible. But quite difficult with a single parent. I firmly believe this.

MrKinktastic · Answer

We needed more “or” options. They’re all plausible, it depends on the parent/situation.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

It looks the general consensus (which I agree with) is that a girl doesn't need a mother to grow into a woman, but a boy DOES need a father to grow into a man!

Andres77 · Answer

My mom needed the help of my brothers. It all depends on the materials one has to work with

John_Doesnt · Answer

Single moms have raised plenty of sons and single dads have raised plenty of daughters.

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

Yes, a Giga Chad like Atticus Finch could do that just right.

EaterPeter · Answer

It's good to have both role models, mom do women stuff right and dad do men stuff right

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Both genders desperately need positive same gender role models.
