How can I write a persuasive essay about "both parents should assume equal responsibility in raising a child?"

In order to write a persuasive essay, you need to come up
with a few arguments in favor of your point.  Here are some potential arguments for this
idea:

• It makes the children feel equally loved
  by both parents.  It is not that fun for a kid to grow up thinking, for example, that
  mom cares enough to spend time with them but dad does not.  If both parents have equal
  responsibility, it makes the child feel that both parents
  care.


• It allows the child to benefit from both parents'
  strengths.  Parents are often strong in different ways.  If only one raises the child,
  the child will miss out on learning from the other
  parent.


• It makes both parents more involved and
  strengthens the family overall.  If both parents are involved, everyone in the family
  feels closer to one another.  This is good for the children and for the
  parents.

To write your essay, expand on these
ideas and/or inject ideas of your own.
