The Difference Between Mommy and Daddy
When my kids were babies, they were very attached to me. Maybe I was nursing them directly, so I was always there for them most of the time. Hubby was a bit left out until my second baby came along. Since then, my elder boy enjoys daddy’s company. But now that my little gal is going to be 2 this month, she likes to play with daddy too. Sometimes, they don’t even want me to join in, especially when hubby brings them to the park.
I am not as protective as other mothers, but I’m not as lenient as hubby. Hubby lets them try out all those adventurous stuffs which I would be screaming “stop” and “no” at. That’s why they prefer mommy to stay at home or go somewhere else when daddy brings them to the playground. 
Nonetheless, I have private moments with my kids too, when hubby is not around. We play different roles with the kids as mommy is more for providing the necessary needs while daddy is more like having fun. Maybe I should be like hubby sometimes, letting go of my mothering instinct and stop being protective. I should just be their playmates and have more fun with them. But firstly, let me learn not to be so protective when my little gal is climbing up the stairs towards a 8ft tall tunnel slide first. Tell me, won’t you be shouting “Be careful” at the bottom of the slide seeing a 23 months old toddler climbing her way up there?
