[quote=Anonymous][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]

I’m usually taking my sons to games and practices more than my husband since they play the sane sport I played which was a family sport in my house growing up and my dad often comes too.

My kids are teens but we still do something as a family- husband, me and sons every weekend- go out to dinner or brunch or Topgolf or a hike and they are 15 and 17 now.  Lots of family bonding.[/quote]

+1 My sons and I always did more together just given my flexible work schedule and my husband's crazy one.  And, the four of us always did stuff together.  I am very athletic and played in college--so I can hang with them in the sports and outdoor activity area.  My sons go to all-boys High School and the moms are very involved.

I also spent more time with my dad than my mom growing up.  We were more alike.  He coached my travel team and I ended up in the same STEM career and even worked down the hall from him my first few years of work.[/quote]
