If men had the children do you think women would abandon their children as much as men do?

You mean if it was all turned around and men, from and since the beginning of time, were the bearers of children... would the women leave the kids as much as men do? Probably.

With being able to bear children there comes other emotion attachments and other emotional cards that are in play. They call it the "Maternal instinct" because we, as women are the ones who form that close bond with our children as they are developing within us. Younger women learn and sense that same emotion as they watch the older women carrying and caring for their infants.

So then, if men thusly were the carries of children women wouldn't need those emotions and all of that baggage would then be passed on to the men. Women would have the same emotional structure as a man would, and men would have the same as a women...

Now if you're talking about suddenly it being possible for a man to have a baby... as in right now... I think there would still be some women out there who wouldn't have a single problem in walking away from children. Just as there are Good and Bad Men... There are Good and Bad Women.

Lots of women abandon their children. Its just the hostile women that mention how often men do. I think emotionally its easier for a man to walk away and quit. Women on the other had have a "mothering instinct". Thank goodness for that could you imagine how much more screwed up this world would be if all the children were raised solely by men?!

About the same, i say. The real problem is that both men and women are not being responsible enough to plan a birth. If the woman had the birth without the father being involved, that's irrepsonsible..and then they try to force the man to pay child support for example. If you want to have a kid have one in a repsonsible way and don't criticize later, when some one has abandoned the child.

I think its the bond that is form when you carry a child for 9 months and the bond from breastfeeding or just feeding. I think that some feel since they don't have that kind of bond that they mean nothing in a child's life. Both parents are need but now and days long as you have one good one you are doing fine.

Both men and women have their time for being crazy. They say women is post depression after having a baby. The men usually as you can see from the amber alert They take their kids.

So we both can get crazy.

mothers abandon their children quite often, but not as often as men for one reason: they usually have a natural bond with the baby that has been in them for ten months (yes it's to months, not nine. i have tons of nurse friends). some women, who abandon their children or are not good mothers, simply do not have that natural bond. it kind of just didn't work for that woman. if men had the baby, then they would have that natural bond, not the mothers...

i would also like to add something about the fathers. do you know why most babies look alike (i mean small noses, big forhead, etc)? it's because the male mind is programed to like these features and want to love and protect that general image. lol. it's hella cool, no?

I think a lot of the attachment comes from the fact that you carried the child...but even so, there are still women to this day that run off after having a child and leave the child with the father.

...but thats an interesting question, and i think less men would run off and yes, probably more women, especially since they arent getting the bond of having the baby for that long before delivery.

Believe it or not some women probably would, cause if you think about some women that have kids and get divorced just leave the kids with the husbands anyhow.

Besides if men had to have the babies, there wouldn't be as many.

i think of the regulation is how that's by using the fact society nevertheless sees toddler rearing as a mom's accountability, and for even if reason holds motherhood sacred above fatherhood. all of us hate the assumption of taking a sprint one from its mom, top? So of direction we could desire to make optimistic that no toddler is abandoned except the mummy actively needs to desert it. although... that's a load of bull. From a feminist point of view, adult men and females are equivalent, and could subsequently have equivalent rights and household projects related to parenthood. besides to being mandatory for genuine equality, it is likewise in simple terms user-friendly functional. assume the mummy died in childbirth (not likely, yet nevertheless) and the daddy have been given custody by utilising default. In a case like that, he could desire to be waiting to convey it to a shield. Or, assume the mummy freaked out and ran, leaving the guy caught with a toddler he did not opt for. So yeah, any parent that holds custody could desire to be waiting to bypass away an undesirable toddler at a shield.

If men had the children they would have to posess the hormones that cause such an unstopable maternal instinct that they would want to provide for and defend their offspring.

In order to bear children the hormones needed also program women to fight to the death for their children.

So if men had the children it would probably be the same senerio, only reversed.

I think it wouldn't matter who gave birth to the kids some people just aren't ready to be parents,Or what ever the reason may be. Even now with women having the kids,some of them still leave their kids.It is sad that either parent can just walk away from their kids,The kids always get hurt by the parent not being in their life.
