[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have boys and I do things with them like baking or crafting (which I don’t actually enjoy). 
I have many friends with both boys and girls and most moms seem to be very close to the daughters. There are mother/daughter trips, special outings etc. It seems that the default is moms doing things with the daughters and dads doing things with the boys. 
If they have all girls, the dynamic is different. [/quote]

This is something that I find strange in popular media actually. The whole concept of "Daddy's Girls" and "Momma's Boys". With both of my kids (both girls), and their close friends who come over *a lot* (boys and girls), I don't see this dynamic playing out so clearly in real life. In most cases, the kids, regardless of gender, are more bonded with their moms (even the kids with stay at home dad's). Maybe it's because our kids are tweens/early teens and perhaps that will all change.  Also, as an adult, I have quite a number of friends who have trying relationships with their dads, but not with their moms, who generally are very involved grandmothers. [/quote]
