You are, at least in the real world and in the westI'm not creepishly conservative though, whatever you meant by that. I have a backbone, so what? And as you said I do conform so I'm not especially conservative. And while the father isn't much of a caregiver (and I never said he was), he is still integral to the family.
it’s that easy. The mother is the main caregiver, that’s all I was trying to say and her role is much bigger in caregiving than the male.
did I say the father wasn’t respected? Acuthubillah too many jumped to conclusionsAnd in Islam both the father and mother are respected, don't bring your ideas into this.
