Come give mummy a kiss
Submitted by scott on Mon, 22/09/2008 - 8:20pm
I think this seems to be the norm, when we have a child both parents go hard out to make sure their child is looked after, cared for and loved. I think we sometimes actually forget that both parents actually need the same from each other also. - Scott |
The other day I was somewhat a little surprised when my wife, came back from work and goes straight to Pyper and said “give mummy a kiss” – I just about died – usually I have to pry a kiss off of my wife, rather than actually being told to give her one instead if you get my drift!
Absolutely essential that
Absolutely essential that mum should continue to show love to dad after baby is born, sadly all too often dad is considered redundant once baby is born. My ex and I were so much in love and when a baby daughter came along as a result of a honeymoon pregnancy we were both overjoyed. Yet once baby was born she began to consider me a threat to "her" baby, and all because baby developed a slight rash which doctor said could have been caused by being cuddled against dad's facial stubble. She went back to her mother with a six month old child whom I wasn't allowed to see again for several years, daughter grew up to become a loner and lives a reclusive life with only her pet rats for company. I remarried, second wife had health problems so no children and now she is confined to a wheelchair. I'm now 57 and beginning to become fretful that by the time I ever get the chance to become a new dad again I will be too old to give my future kids all they need.

Hi Scott,
Yep, I get your drift!
Another one is "Mummy loves you" and "come to Mummy"! I get it all the time! We have come to an agreement now that when we each go to and come home from work we give each other a little peck.. seems to be working a little better now.
My partner works all day and I usually leave before she gets home to my part time work between 5pm and 9pm.
I think it is important to "share the love" throughout the whole household. It is easy to loose that and it takes a little while to build that up again.
I wish you luck, but maybe sit down and talk to your wife, I think it is a woman thing to give all their affection to there children and not realise they are not paying so much attention to their partners/husbands. They need to be told sometimes and even sometimes by someone else. I guess it is a two way thing. I think my partners daughter is feeling a little the same way as us. She is 13 and our son Caleb is now nearly 15 months.
I am going to email your Blog to my partner now!
