Id go for "Disciplined, Hearing whats being said before nagging, sets guidelines, Role Model, good provider, teacher, integrity, tough but fair, children feel protected (physically, psychologically), not afraid to own up to ones mistake, brave"
The problem is that theres no cut clear line here obviously. You can begin telling me about a woman who is a role model and brave etc. However What im doing here is generalising. So how do you expect me to be specific? If you put 5 Men and 5 Women in the room, youd find that the characteristics id mentioned would fall more towards the men than the women. That doesnt imply by any means that some women would have this and that. What I mean by balance is simply that theres a better chance of gaining the right upbringing and mentality with both a father and mother because there are characteristics that a mother instills in her child that a father couldnt.
