[quote=Anonymous]My mom was around all the time. We didn't have specific bonding activities -  we were just always together and pretty bonded.

My dad traveled ALL the time. Like, home maybe 2 days a month (hence how much time mom and i spent together).  A couple times a year from probably age 8-13, dad would take me to the pub for a long lunch on a weekend. Usually bring one of his guy friends, and dad and the friend would have a few beers and we'd just hang for a couple hours.  It was always fun and felt different.  In hindsight, clearly my mom  had told my dad "you have not seen or spoken to your daughter in a month, and i haven't been alone in months, so find something to do with her this weekend".  But it was still fun.  And once every summer he would typically take me to a movie just the two of us - that's where i saw Indian Jones and the Last Crusade and James Bond the Living Daylights.  Clearly left a pretty strong impression on me if i remember 35 years later exactly what we saw.  [/quote]
