How should I get my son and my husband closer?

hello lovingmybabies try to tell to your husband to have a break on the job i mean have a family bonding, try to talk or play to the baby when ever he is around , explain also to the child why the father is not always there because of working, by this the child will know what is happening to the family, but i think the best way to do is to have a family bonding once in a month.

Don't know the age of your son, but the scars of how his dad is treating him now will not go away anytime soon. May be because your husband works a lot of the time, he has not much parenting skills and don't know just how to be a kind loving dad. He provide the monetary support, but the other support comes from you. You can make husband and son relationship get better, maybe talking to your husband about how you are feeling about his relationship with the son could help. Your husband has to want a better relationship and make every effort to make it happen. Being tough on the son will not make him a good man, it will make him grow up being resentful and mean; just like dad was to him. Children learn what they live. If they live in a home full of love and happiness this is what they know as an adult, but if they live in a home where there is less, they learn that as well.

Well as of my case :) I did not spend my childhood with my father :) Like in short 1-4 years old was with my grandparents in a villige after that kindergarden etc etc school and most of the time i did not spend single time playing with my dad (well there was once in a month times we played games or really talked :) But now i'm 21 years old and i respect and love my father cuz he is the greatest :) You can talk with your husband if it bothers you :) But i think when parents show their love to their child they undarstand :)

I think most kids run to their moms first if something is wrong, both boys and girls. My boyfriend's dad works a lot and when he's home he's absolutely horrible to my boyfriend, making him do endless chores, etc. They don't seem to have a very close relationship and it's a shame. Maybe try encouraging your husband to take your son to the park on days when he's not working or find little activities they can do around the house together (maybe building a birdhouse or something where they can use tools together). Start with activities like this and then maybe one day your husband and son will find a hobby they both have in common and they can participate in it together.

when your son gets older, the one that he will share secrets to (man things) will be your man.. don't worry, as long as both of them has the desire to know each other, your problem will be just eating peanut with eyes closed.

My parents were not strict parents and laid back.
