Just curious...

I was just wondering. Mom love their babies to bits, we have an immense amount of love for them. I mean every inch on their bodies we love. I know fathers love their babies also but not like a mother would, right? We go through 9 months with them in our bellies. Breastfeed, or bottle feed and at that time the love gets stronger. Dads would never love their babies like us, right? I think I am right lol.

There may be men who do care as much...but if you look at the ratio, mothers do heavily outweigh the men. Most men are focused on sex power and money that they give others a bad name. The ones you all speak of.

DNP47 - I completely agree. You explained it perfectly. And when you explain your hubby with your kids it really touched my heart and made me want to cry, maybe its my crazy horomones but its nice to know that there are some good fathers left in this world.

I think being a parent has alot to do with a persons raising and mind set. For some I think its natural and some I think learn as they go but true love for your child I dont think that is something that a mother nessercerily has more of

Yea we just connect differently based on factors. I've seen men do that too and awfully crappy mothers. :(

I don't know if I totally agree, I think they can love them just as much. My husband was raised by a single mother with the help of her 5 sisters so maybe he is just nurturing by nature. I have watched him work to the point of exhaustion to provide for his kids, have watched him snuggle and laugh and cry with them. I've seen him break down when they are hurt or sick. I've seen him work tirelessly with a dyslexic child, more patient then I...and work through her issue, and I see his face light up with their accomplishments.  I think his bond is just as strong as mine is. Sure, it may be different but I think the despirate love I feel for my kids, he feels it too.

Generally I think you are right but mothers dont always love and care for their children more than fathers. I knew a women who just never became attached to her baby, she loved her baby but you could tell that the father had that "motherly" bond.

This has alot more to do with socialization also. And the early relationship with mothers and not particularly fathers. Also hormones specific to females make a woman care for others. Typically why we are naturally so caring and also perhaps why after sex women want to cuddle. Sociological and biologically wise, yea, there are reasons why we seem to care more for our kidos.
