Re: father or the mother
They both have different roles but the roles can overlap.
In my home, mom and dad both play a major role in the emotional needs of the kids. Both my daughters are extrememly attached to their dad. I mean extremely. If he's ever sick or or upset, they will do anything to make him feel better. That's because he does anything to make them feel better. He is their safety net and security. Papa can make anything better and can fix anything.
I am their glorfied nanny (:D) as in taking care of their day to day needs, helping out with school work, driving them around, replenishing their supplies and closets, cooking, feeding, cleaning, but I am that intangible infrastructure without whom everything falls apart.
I can't replace their dad and he cannot replace me. We can fill in the gaps temporarily but each is unique and works together.
That's our home.

Re: father or the mother
It does help :D
See daddies can do much more emotionally because little girlies and I think even the boys have them wrapped around their little fingers. Mommies are more practical. Well yeah we're emotional too but somewhere we get some sense knocked in along the way. Dad's don't care about making sense. Even today, my dad is such that if I ask him to get me something, he will drive 100 miles to get it for me. Aww daddies rule.

Re: father or the mother
Yes, look what you’ve done. Made me miss my ma and pa :hinna:
Re: father or the mother
lol, lovely thread! I agree completely with Niksik and our family is much the same. Mom and Dad are equally important, different roles with some overlap. My hubby is also very involved in their lives, cub scout den leader for both cubs, he's the one who takes them to swimming lessons, teaches them how to ride bikes, play ball etc. He can fix anything, build anything, he's an almost super-hero to the boyz. I'm the go-to person for comfort, for day-to-day structure, homework, mealtime. I can't imagine it any other way!
Re: father or the mother
I would say both.
Our roles are totally different
I feed them, bathe them, sing to them, read to them, jump on the bed with them , teach them funky dance moves and all the silliness in the world
Their dad is the teacher, the protector, the one who displines, makes them try new things, makes them push harder, gives them confidence.

so true Niksik.. my dad's the same. As a kid I used to want to watch paki dramas that we had to get from a shop quite far away.. and my dear daddy would ALWAYS go get them for me... hehe..
when my sis was in Germany, he would message her each morning to wake her up for work.. lol. She'd wake up anyway but they were both in such a routine that he couldnt help himself..
back to the original post... :)
both parents play a very significant role in the upbringing of children. Daddy is always there to be the clown, to drag along to the park, to play silly games with. And the mum is always there for when you fall over and need a cuddle. Mums are there for the washing, cleaning, feeding, organising everything in your life.. whereas the dads are there for the funtimes.. Lol..
It's not that us mothers dont want to have fun.. and that we dont have it. It's just there are some other things that need to be taken care of before we can do so.
