[CUFS_Current English 1_Essay] Stay-at-home Dad

Topic: Is it appropriate for fathers to be primary caregivers?

In my opinion, it is not the matter of saying yes or no. Both mom and dad should equally be involved in childcare as parents.

From the birth to at least 3 or 4 year-old of a child, it seems natural and appropriate for moms to primarily take care of their child, as it is known that how much time a mother spends on her kid at the toddler stage plays a huge role in a child's development.

Once your kid becomes the age eligible for kindergarten, however, a mom doesn't necessarily need to be a sole caregiver. For instance, if both parents work full time, they can decide who contributes more to daily childcare and who takes a role of financially supporting a family. Even if it is the dad who would have to take care of the child mostly, the kid might be able to understand this, because it is much better for any kids to have a stay-home-dad than just to be alone all day home or be sent to private schools, known as hagwon in Korea, in order to fill in the time daily in which parents are supposed to be.

I hope any parents could use flexibility relying on the circumstances of their own. Through a lot of talks with each other can they succeed in balancing both childcare and the relationship between a couple.
