yeah. well.
I think it's a different story when you've got men working for those sorts of hours.

Assuming there is one present-there is nothing wrong with a boy being closer to his mom or vice versa, especially in an absent parent situation. Since I was raised that way, I am very good at keeping a clean living area, caring for children, being in touch with feelings, etc etc....I didn't really know anything about sports until I came to college-now I know all about sports and love them!musicmom said:Normally a child prefers the same sexed parent. That's going by statistics.
Early on in a child's life the opposite parent is the most important to a child. I'd like to see those statistics if you have them.musicmom said:Normally a child prefers the same sexed parent. That's going by statistics.

Feel free not to answer this question if it's too personal. Have you ever been treated for depression or anxiety? Surely you must have abandonment issues with your father.musicmom said:I can only speak from my experience and I can say I was raised by only a mother and I am fine and my children are VERY smart. I think I am a stronger parent because my mother did it all!
My father was in and out of my life and stopped completely when the child support stopped, don't think I didn't notice. I didn't need my mother to point it out because I caught on at a young age. I knew my mother had my back and I was safe.

I had PPD too. It's horrible, ain't it?musicmom said:I had post pardum depression from having twin girls which was six years ago and then I had to deal with anxiety from living with an alcoholic husband who is now gone.
LMAO at Fooser (get em")
I knew about PPD and I was watching for it because I have a history of depression. Funny because I was completely fine without meds during my whole pregnancy. I started getting symptoms of PPD within hours after Oliver was born. I didn't sleep for days and was hallucinating. It was the most horrible time in my life. I was alone all day every day with this screaming infant, completely delusional, and nobody once checked in on me. Not my family, not the hospital, not my husband.musicmom said:Yes it was horrible. No one ever told me about it. All I knew was something wasn't right. I told my male Dr and he said to try and get some sleep but I knew it was something bigger then lack of sleep so I made an apt with a psychiatrist and she actually called the male Dr. and told him "don't you EVER f*n send a new mother out of your office with PPD" She tore him a new one. He was a young Dr and I guess didn't understand it's severity. It took less then a year to stop but it was confusing. I had alot on my plate though too. I had a 13 month old and twin newborns and a drunk for a husband. When he got out of the house when they were five months old, I started to get better.
