Calling all Fathers!!! (click here to read/leave comments)
Hi…
I'm curious. Fathers are so important and fathering is different than mothering…it's not a dad trying to mother, it really is a whole different thing.
Maybe there is more physical play…maybe there are firmer boundaries…maybe looser ones…
So, how do you see fathering different from mothering? How is it in your family?
Do you mom's ever find how your male partners are with your kids challenging? Do you find yourself nagging him to do things your way for the well-being of the baby/child(ren)?
What's great about what he does?
I look forward to hearing your comments!
My son is 16 months now and my baby girl is 6 weeks old. As far as my son is concerned, mommy picks him up faster than I do, (I tend to say, “c’mon son, your okay’). I wrestle and tumble with him, mom never does. She only gets angry when he is putting up a fight to eat, then I usullay have to go and save him from the high-chair (prison) and get to horse-play. I’m not sure how I will act when my daughter bulks up past 20 ibs but for now, I baby, cuddle and squeeze as much as the wife does.
Thanks for your response!
