Anyone accused of being a good father but lousy husband?

DH prides himself an 'A' as father and hubby. During one of our breakfast chit chat sessions, he found out, much to his horror, our kids rated him a 'F' because he spent too much time playing golf instead of playing with them :laugh:DW ever mentioned to me that she rated me an 'A' as a father but 'C-' as a husband. Everything I do, I do it for ds. Occasionally my conscious will prick me and that's when I'll try to do something for dw.
Recently I bought a $2k branded bag for dw and I felt the pinch, though I tried not to show it. But I'm sure if I were do the same for ds, I would feel very very happy. I'm not sure if it's a hainanese thing cos my father is also like that.
Anyone else is guilty of the same sin? -

Buds, my funny raw nerve was working yesterday.... :rotflmao:ksi:
But seriously hor...I think the joy he gets from his ds face can never be the same as the joy he gets from his DW face.... So the rate of return is different even if he spends the same amount.
You sure got the funnies in ya today, ksi! :laugh:ksi:
Issit?Wives, don't flame me hor.....I am also a wife so I can see the difference in the level of joy a husband can derive from the child versus the wife. As wives, we really don't have the same child-like happiness that can go deep into one's heart.
The level of joy i can derive from my hubs is as joyful as the ones i get
from my two girls. If not more...:evil:ksi:
:faint:In fact some wives might even be so doubtful why they received such an expensive gift, did the husband have any hanky-panky recently? :evil:
