do you believe that mothers are soft hearted than fathers do?
When kids commit mistakes, mothers are easy to forgive their kids. Some fathers do, but most are really hard. And mostly, the fathers are the ones imposing hard disciplines to kids.
What is your idea on this? Me and my husband is different. I am the disciplinarian and he is the lax one.
Can you share yours too? how did you handle situations like this?
Nice to hear from your views.

Well some mothers are more lax when it comes to their children. Some mothers use the mistakes that they make/happen why growing up to overshadow their children childhood, so they becomes more stern. eg. I have a friend whose brother tried to sexually assault her while growing up. She has a girl child and she is always unhappy whenever there are males around her. Even if it is a relative she does not let down her guard until that person is gone. So she cloak up her in shorts under her uniform and even when they are sleeping in the night she has to have on a shorts/tights. She, her, babyfather and two sons live. I would think that this is too extreme.
A mother should be lax when it calls for it, and be a disciplinarian when it necessary. You cannot always be a disciplinarian all time because this will make your kids unable to approach you. While on the other hand you cannot be always lax because they will also abuse it. So a parent should always know when to balance it.

Yes mothers are soft hearted ...but yes we have some mothers too who can be harsh...well as u say trying to discipline their child...but am sure even so they have a soft heart when they hear anything about their child...like from small things as to if the child gets hurt the mother feels more pain than i guess the father would..or may be he doesnt show it out...My husband is also a soft hearted person as such ...not that i have a hard heart lol but yes it just depends on situations...where we are different in some way..

Absolutely right!! I agree. Mothers felt more pain when the kids are hurt. Well, it's because she bears the most for her kids. Imagine the months she is carrying the baby in her womb? that is something very,, significant for a mother to feel pain with their children.
Thanks for replying./

It is a matter which concerns the individual. Generally if we were to take a survey. it would be seen that mothers are generally soft hearted and fathers the disciplinarians.
But there are many fathers who are soft hearted. like my father for example

I would have to say that I am very easy at forgiving my children. Sometimes I am very strict with them and sometimes my husband is. I think it just depends on how the people are raised. My children will do something and I am like oh it's just the way kids are and he is like no that's really bad lol. And this works the other way. My husband and my biological father are not as forgiving, but my step dad is super forgiving almost too much.

Oh!! really so it all depends. There are times that fathers are easy to forgive too. But as mothers, we usually are very soft when to our kids. I think that's instinct.
thanks for the reply.
