How's that Hendrix song go?

You must forgive me when at times I revert my thinking of women back to the fifties. Of coarse there are exceptions to every rule. I would never paint all with the same brush..ha!
I was referring to the infant stage when mothers were typically in charge of the newborns. Today...it can be and should be shared. Up until the kid is dropped off to DAYCARE on their way to work (again...for some).
Hey...just because a woman gives birth doesn't mean she is a better parent than a father. On the other hand...some of the most motherly women I knew NEVER gave birth. Blessed are the fathers who teach a boy how to be a man
