[b]I still see that you say nothing about your father.  Why do people make this all about the mothers as though fathers have no hand in outcomes for their children?

Not the PP you responded to.  You bring up a very good point. Both parents play a crucial role in the raising of the child. My DH is a better parent in a lot of ways than I am.  He is the one who makes breakfast, packs the lunch box and drops them to school. My kids are not happy when he is not at home. However, there are times that they need me emotionally and want me to be physically close to them, even though, both DH and I are available  and present for them.

I don't know why it is so that children in some situations prefer the moms? However, in other situations, they absolutely want their dads.  I think children who have intact families with loving and involved parents are very lucky and blessed. This seems like a small and ordinary thing, but this is not a circumstance that is a given to all children.

I think the title of the thread says SAHM but it can be just about a  SAH parent. Maybe even a SAH grandparent or an adult sibling?   I am very close to my parents and siblings. My grandma spent a lot of time raising us. I still needed my mom for certain situations and my dad for different situations. They both were important but I instinctively knew when only my mom would do for me. [/quote]
