        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

              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:

                        I guess mum and dad play different roles.


                        Mummy is usually the first person you go to for comfort… be it physical or emotional. That’s why moms has to know when to be tough and when to be soft and accomodating to the children.

                        Father on the other hand, always play the constant anchor role. Someone you can always count on, give you advice/counsel and fall back to with his arms open wide… waiting for a hug. : )
