[quote=Anonymous] I think this is an interesting discussion. One aspect that isn’t much discussed on this chain is parenting differences. I think most fathers have a pretty different interaction with kids than most mothers. As a mom, I can find it very frustrating. I pick up my son, it’s 30° outside, he has a T-shirt and shorts on, and he’s trying to say that he’s cold but his teeth are chattering too much to get the words out. Or another example is that one weekend my son spent the entire weekend in the exact same clothes that I sent him to school with on the Thursday before. I admit I am very torn. I think it’s important for children to have close relationships with both parents. I think when one parent has primary physical custody, it is very hard to have that close relationship with the other parent. I also think it’s great for kids to see that people can parent differently. But I’m worried that in our families case, the differences are harmful to our son.[/quote]
