     Once in a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home athers. I made the point

that one reason why we're seeing more stay-at-homw dads may be hat it's no longer definite that a man

makes more money than his wife. Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which

parent will stay home.

     At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit,

"It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it's a code for"My

wife, or any woman is the better parent."

     I was a stay-at-home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. 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 if she spent more time with Jack. She would be able to read him wetter and calm him more quickly.

But as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.

      Because of the increased time I spent with Jack. I soon knew him well, understood that he needed and

could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, he experience helped me unlock one of

the world's great secrets; Women are good at booking after children because they do it. It is not because of

any innate (先天的) female talent. It is because they put in the time and attention required to become good at

the job.

     Woman obviously get a biological head starting from giving birth and nursing, but ever the long term

experience is more important. When I got the experience myself. I was people are able to look after them as

well besides their moms.
