Is mummy the better parent?

[mintcc]

hee hee. my observation is that most kids prefer mummy because they know who take care of them most. Of course, this may not be the same for all guys.

Aside the 9 months of carrying the kid, daddies need to ask themselves:
1. Who bath, change cuddle the kid most of the time?
2. Who is there to play with kid , read stories, sing song most of the time?
3. Who feed baby, when they are younger, wake up to comfort baby when baby cried at night, most of the time?
4. Who knows what kid needs and meet their needs most of the time?

If the answer is mummy to most of the above then is there any wonder the kids look for mummy and most resources cater to mummy. I don’t think that people think parenting is best left to mummy and daddy should just focus on earning his nuts and playing golf.

Some daddies can be very nuturing and take on their parenting roles with passion. Unfortunately, there are lots of daddies out there who are not and mummies are stuck doing most of it.

But daddy does the most important function…buy sweets.

I do carry them and help change diapers when my son is a baby. Well my wife forbid me buying sweets for my son, but she buy goodies for him. Maybe that’s why he is closer to my wife

Wah lao... like that you lugi. Do all the work and yet still lose to your wife. Time to resort to bribery to change the balance!

Bribery to my son? Wow, any other better idea, what happen if next time I become victim of my our bribery and at the mercy of my son. Maybe I just act tough and show my son who is the boss hehehe

When I raise my voice at my boy, he is scared.

When my husband raises his voice at the boy, he is very very scared.

When I nag 100x, my boy then leaps into action.
When my husband stares at the boy, the boy leaps into action.

When I praise my boy, he is happy.
When my husband praises the boy, he is very very happy.

But hey... if you and your husband are drowning in the sea and he can only save 1 person, who do you think he will save without even thinking about it? You of course.

Oh yeah.
I use that to 'coax' him to learn swimming...or rather, I told him that his dad will save me and so he will have to save himself. so he has no choice. :shock:

I think it depends on whether your child is a girl or a boy. I think girls are usually closer to dads.

In other words...dads are usually closer to daughters...in other words, am I glad I have only 2 sons. :lol: *selfish selfish me* :lol:
