Why do mothers make better parents than fathers?

Why do mothers make better parents than fathers?

Fathers have a natural, instinctive aptitude for pipe-smoking and slipper-wearing, preferably whilst parked in a comfortable leather arm-chair enjoying a glass of vintage port.

This instinct would occasionally be incompatible with the demands of parent-craft.
