An inspiration from a hadith:
The parental responsibility belongs to both the father and the mother. The Prophet SAW  is reported to have said: 
"Take care! Each of you is a shepherd and each of you shall be asked concerning his flock; a leader is a shepherd of his people, and he shall be asked concerning his flock; and a man is a shepherd of the people of his house, and he shall be asked concerning his flock; and a woman is a shepherd of the house of her husband and over their children, and she shall be asked concerning them.” 
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
