Mother Knows Best?
Once while being prepped （准备） for a television interview,I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers.I made the point that one reason we're seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it's no longer a given （假定的事实） that a man makes more money than his wife.Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
At that point,one of the male crew members commented,almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit,"It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say things like that.Usually it's a code for,"My wife,（read:any woman） is the better parent."
I was a stay-at-home father for eight years,so his declaration made me bristle （激动）.It implied that our family's choice could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife.
I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better" parent:She I-Dad spent more time with Ry,could read him better and calm him more quickly.And given a choice,he'd have picked her over me.But as she was the more employable one,my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
Because of the increased time I spent with him,I soon knew Ry well,understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could.Actually,the experience helped me unlock one of the world's great secrets:Women are good at looking after children because they do it.It's not because of any innate （先天的） female aptitude （天资） or a mother's instinct.It's because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.
Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing,but over the long term experience is more important.When I got the experience myself,I was good,too.As good?I don't know.Who cares?Children are not made of glass.Other people are capable of looking after them besides Morn.
辛苦了，感激之情，小女子铭记在心

妈妈最知道?
有一次,我在准备电视面试,和一个主持人讨论"全职父亲们".我认为我们看到更多"全职父亲"的原因之一是:男人比她妻子挣钱多的假定事实已经不再成立.许多家庭在决定父母中究竟哪一方应该待在家中时,往往要考虑挣钱能力问题.
关于这一点,一个男性职员曾经说过,虽然他只说了他自己,但我觉得好象也是站在我的利益上说似的."应该是父母中较好的一方待在家里".许多男人都说过类似那样的话,通常就跟代码似的,比如:"我妻子(任何女人)都是父母中较好的一方".
我已经做了八年"全职父亲"了,所以他的发言让我很激动.因为它表明只有我比妻子"更好",我们家庭的选择才是正确的.
我刚开始待在家中时,人们都认为妻子是"较好"的一方:她花更多的时间和Ry在一起,能够更好得陪他读书,能够更快得让他冷静.如果给他(儿子)一个选择,他会选择她,而不是我.但是由于她更容易被雇佣,所以她出去工作,而我在家照顾儿子.
和Ry在一起的时间增长,我很快就非常了解他了,了解他需要什么,也能差不多和妻子照顾得一样好了.
其实,这样的经历帮助我揭开了世界的一个大秘密:女人善于照顾孩子只是因为她们确实去照顾了.不是因为任何女性的天资或者母亲的本能.她们投入了做好这项工作所需的时间和精力.
女人虽然明显有生物的头脑去生孩子,照顾孩子,但是后天长期的实践也是很重要的.当我有了经验后,我也能做好了.(和女人)一样好吗?我不知道.谁关心这个?孩子不是玻璃做的.除了母亲,其他的人也有能力照顾他们.
累死了.申请加分 哈哈哈
