Mothers do two types of things for their children, the things necessary to keep them healthy and the things that will help them develop both mentally and physically. There is no rule book for how a mother should do these things and each mother tries to care for her children in her own individual way, to the best of her ability.

∙ 11y agoSuch generalizations are unfair as every family's circumstances may be different.
In the traditional (albeit idealized) 1950's family, father went to work, brought home the money, fixed up the house, car and yard and paid the bills. Mother stayed home, cared for the children, kept the house clean and made the meals. She was given a budget from the father and from that, purchased groceries and bought clothing from the children. Generally, she was responsible for the children's personal care and both parents would oversee homework and bedtimes.
A lot has changed between then and now and there are no longer traditional male/female roles with mothers often working and often the sole breadwinner. Fathers may assume the role of staying at home. Or either parent may be absent. And with the evolution of those roles, traditional parenting duties may be assumed by either parent or shared between them.
What it comes down to is that children need BOTH parents in their lives. The parents may not live together, but it is important for the child to know that there are two people who love them and will support and care for them until they are ready to move into the world as adults. Parents need to put their differences aside and work together towards that goal.
