Do you consider your husband your child?

Rarely, yes and usually, no. But with me, its usually the other way round. When he wants me to 'mother' him, then he will snuggle up to me, and act like a child and if I give him the 'what are you doing, you are a man' look, then he'll say, 'I am your first child.' And then, I just laugh and treat him like a child for a few minutes. If my kids are around, it ends up like a competition of who can snuggle up to me the most, and I most probably will run away from the room cos I don't want to end up as a squash jam

No, I don't consider my husband as my child because he is a very serious and responsible man. I think it is him who "babies" me. He likes to pamper me with praises and gifts and is very giving to me. He is such a nice husband...I couldn't ask for more .

No, I agree with Sassy.... sometimes he may act like a child, but do I consider him my child? No. He's a grown man and I do not mother him...

Yes. He's a huge, overgrown child. I am responsible for feeding him, dressing him, and making sure that he eats a good meal. Of course, there are times when I go on strike and he has to fend for himself. But most times this is the trade off because he works and I get to be a stay-at-home mom (which I love). Thank goodness I don't need to drive him everywhere too, that would make me crazy! *LoL* I'm joking...sorta...he is a grown man and I love him dearly, but sometimes I wonder if he would make it on his own.

They did not listen... Oops. :)

Um, noooo LOL... Although, sometimes he can act like one bit for the most part, no I don't LOL...

..no... but I learned early on that I didn't want to be the 'boss' or even compete to be the 'boss' - which I see lots of couples fall into.. My husband can be kind of lay back, so if I wanted to run the show, I could've for quite a while.. til he wandered off somewhere else where he could be a 'man'.. I decided to be even more lay back than he is.. but we seem to come up pretty even and are a good team.. I look to him in some things, and he looks to me in some things.. But I never try to tell him what to do, or not do. Maybe part of it is my age too.. more and more I find I want less and less to be "in control" (an illusion at best anyway).. and prefer to kind of go with the flow in life for the most part, except for my own goals and ambitions of course..

I also agree with the above posts. Sometimes he certainly acts like a child and sometimes I joke and say that I have two children I don't treat him like a child and I don't "baby" him. I think that if I did "baby" him it would be a big mistake and he's expect it all the time so I certainly won't be starting that.

Sometimes he acts childish, like one of my kids. But I don't consider him as my child. For me he's the man of the house, and I give him that respect even when he acts childish every now and then.
