Bonding with your children.

i think if both parents are there to have bondings with their kids, it's much better coz the kids needed both mom and dad..but unfortunately, i'm a single mom, so my 3yr old kid only had bonding with me with my parents and her uncle and aunt..but we usually bond specially weekend coz i dont have work..i love my kid so much..she is my angel and she really makes me happy every seconds of time..

i have four children and now for 7 years is a single mom of four children. during those times when we are still living with my husband all he does is go bonding with his friends. he does not have that much time to bond with his children. so i think i their mom bonds with them better. but i see families with very affectionative dads. though i envy them i can say that dads and moms have different styles to have bonding with their children.

I think which parent has the stronger "bond" depends on many different factors. We have one daughter who is 3 1/2 years old and I stayed home with her from the time she was born until she was 3 years and one month when I went back to work part time. She and I are very close, she wants me to give her baths, brush her hair and teeth, snuggle with her and give her lots of love. Her dad works full time and does a lot of extra work to make sure we are financially stable and have everything we could possibly need. He adores our daughter and she adores him, it's just a bit different than the "bond" she and I have. They enjoy playing, rough-housing, joking around, etc. althought they do have their moments when I catch them snuggling up on the couch with a book. But I think if the tables were turned and he had stayed home with her and I worked, their "bond" might be stronger. I seem to be the disciplinarian, while he is the one who can always make her laugh, even when she's sad. Both of us have a wonderful relationship with her and wouldn't change it for the world.
