Which parent will your child go to when.....

i think my children would be comfortable talken to me or there dad.we are alwaysw talking about everything and i def think its very important to do lots of talking and let them know its ok if theres any problems good or bad to talk about it.my husband does work alot so i spend alot more time with our children cause i am home with them so i tend to hear alot more then my husband does becasue im home,and usually after my son appraoches me with something we resolve it or discuss it and by time dad gets home its already finished.so i guess my son comes to me more becasue im alwasy home,but my children def feel just as comfortable when there dad is home toD:

My son aged three now, also prefer to look for me when he wants something to eat or merely some toys to play. Since, i am also a stay at home mother now, so my son is more attached to me than to his father. I do agreed, when you let your children know that you are always there for them, they will surely growing up with confidence, to come to you when they are facing any problem..Have a happy day..

You are absolutely right my friend, well there was only my son and I so he had to come to me.

My boys always come to me, even though they live with their dad and his new wife now. They've always trusted me and could tell me anything, whereas their dad might explode in anger or make fun of them or just tell them to ask their mother. (Men, are you listening?!) I'm 1800 miles away and my sons are in college but when they have a problem or need advice, they call me.

that is a very good thing u are doing. children need badly to know that. niether one of my son's fathers were really in their lives so they were stuck w/just their mom, lol. i will tell u this i have found out since my sons have been grown alot of things they did that i didn't know about. i always heard boys will be boys, lol. have a great weekend.

Me, the mom, because I'm the more... Their kinda person parent. I'm the open, honest not judging parent who tries to hear them out before getting to parental on them.

It's always the parent with whom the child communicates better. Actually the parent who is more communicative gets the trust of his child. It happens to me all the time. I seldom talk to my dad and when I do, it's just rubbish or technical stuff about computers or whatever. But with my mom I can talk about absolutely ANYTHING, and it's been like that forever, because she's been close to me and close to the house even though she has a 9 to 5 job like dad. The difference is that she's been more involved in parenting than my dad and cares alot more about what we need and what we think.

My kids usually come to me when they need something or want to be comforted. They also come to me when something is bothering them or when something is on their mind. They come to me with their problems too. Sometimes I tell them to go talk with their dad too or I will bring my husband into the equation. I think it is important for children to be comfortable discussing things with both parents. Honestly I know that my husband, like I think most men I think, would rather that I deal with things like this. But I make him join in because I think it is a good bonding process for him and the children. That, and the fact that we have 4 children so sometimes I can be spread really thin. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Enjoy this for as long as you can, it disappears around age 12 or 13 in many kids. No matter how understanding you are. Both my Hubby and I tried to be open and we also never let any of the children play one of us against the other. It was never a case of go ask your Dad or Mom, it was always let's ask your Mom or Dad. And still wwwhen teenage entered our family everything changed. Don't worry you get through it, it just changes. Blessings

i guess our son would go to his father when he wants something that he knows i wouldn't approve of. but i've always seen him going back to me since he cries out in frustration that daddy can't get it right

I personally feel children usually express their thought to mother. I am not a mother but I am a child who prefers talking to my mother. My mother would advice me accordingly and if the situation is something hard to be resolved then she would explain it to my father at the right time and find for a better resolution. My father is basically busy with work most of the time and its just for a while he spends time with us at home. I do not want to add on to his pressure of expressing my feelings no doubt it would not be a pressure to him actually. But to say it to my mother is better. Regards Thanusha

Depending on the situation depends on which child goes to which parent. I have 2 boys and 1 girl. Now you would think that my girl would come to me with the girl subjects, but she goes to her father just as much.Same with my boys, things you think they would seek their fathers advice they come to me. I agree with making sure your children can rely on you about anything and be able to open up and present any conversation. I do that with my children, but at times they still perfer to talk to their father about things. So I guess you can say that my children are happy and comfortable talking to both of us.

hi child hood is very beautiful this life not rememember me child hood is gods gift.. that life given our mother so child life is very beautiful life dont added tears thisd life...

i would hope that my children feel that they can talk to me about anything. i have a young daughter and a pre teen son. my son does talk to me about manyy things that i would have thought he would more comfortable asking his father but he seems to feel better talking to me - i think i give better advice and i am more understanding. my daughter also talks very openly to me and i hope that they continue to feel able to do so. i think it is nice that your son feels that he can talk to you

Hi bamakelly, My elders son is close to me and he is sharing about his school and other matters with me. He is 7 years old now. Usually if he wanted to say anything to his father he asked to me to tell the same to him. But I wish, he says by his own and insist him to go and say the same to his father. I don’t want to encourage this habit, and don’t want as a mediator in between them. I am telling about my son to his father but when he needs something, I think it is good if he asks his father directly.

My children come to me for everything for the most part. My 6 year old knows that we have an open commications household. He knows that he will be told the truth because that's how we are. I don't want to lie to him or make up a story just to pass off on him because he will find out one day the truth and then be like, wow, i can't believe my mom lied to me. So, that's why we tell the truth about everything. He comes to me about things he wants to know, granted there are times I would love to bypass the subjects but try my best to give him the answers he is looking for. The only thing he will not come to be about is if he's got an issue about his private, and he just recently started that. Which i figure this is about the age he would start going to his dad about that, and that's fine with me. He recently had scarlet fever and his private part was all red from the rash and itched and he begged his dad not to tell me that they had to put calamine lotion on the rash down there. I had to laugh, but I understood why he didn't want me to know.
