Your childs Reactions.

My husband does the same thing. I am definately the primary parent. The biggest thing I have noticed is that my daughter does noe have as much respect for my husband's authortiy as she does for me. they tend to fiht a lot more than she and I do. however, whenever I am not around, like I am out of town, they get along great and have a blast together. I try to get my husband to spend more time with her, but he doesn't. He just doens't get that their relationship would improve if he just spent a little more time with her. I always say that he would make a terrific part time father.

Definitely, my daughter is only 4 months but already she smiles a lot more for me. Her father lives with a buddy on the other side of town and she sees him every second day for a few hours. She seems to get fussy really quickly when she is at his place as well. We used to co-sleep with her and now she won't even take a nap with him. I feel bad cuz he gets so upset but I think it's just natural that children are more attached to their moms.

I must admit i don't spend that much time with my 2nd kid unlike my first child, specially when he was just a baby,now that he's a year older i can feel that my little boy is so distant and sometimes i think he just treat me like a neighbor or something. I know that it is not a good sign, i'd really want to get back that few months that i was not on his side but my work is keeping me from doing that since i travel most of the time and would just get home on weekends.
