Saying that though, if it works for some people, then more power to them. <BR/><BR/>I do not understand where this need to pretend moms and dads are the same comes from? Ok, when I was a young kid, I didn't 'get' the true male/female mental/emotional/etc differences, but by my 20's, I had learned that we truly are DIFFERENT! That's not a bad thing. There are things my dh does better, there are things I do better. We're a team. And when it comes to babies/kids, don't even try to muddy the waters. There are things they NEED mommy for, there are things they NEED daddy for. When they are little, usually it is mommy that the child instinctively needs. The mom should be that support, and the child should see the dad actively support the mom - not be sulky for being left out! - so when that need for dad kicks in, they already know he will be there for them - just like he is for their mom. (I'm still looking forward to the day that they learn to yell 'Daddy' in the night, or find HIS side of the bed instead of mine!) <BR/><BR/>hmm? Reading this makes me feel like I'm against homosexual parents! I'm not. I am sure there are different dynamics in a male-male or female-female parenting situation, but I can't comment because I do not know. I've just got experience with hetero parenting, and I feel there is nothing at all wrong with mommy-roles and daddy-roles!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.com
