Fatherhood and Motherhood. Does gender play a role on a parents perception of parenting? I really don’t know, and I’m not EVEN going to try and figure it out. My opinion is yes, BUT I’m just going to give you some parenting quoted from each gender and let YOU decide.

So, what do you think? I find these quotes very interesting. I will let you know that it took a lot more research for me to find quotes by fathers. I found a ton of quotes about fathers but NOT quoted by them. HUH.
