I have three sons M(8), S(6) and G(4) and they all have very different personalities. M is very boisterous, into sports and plays rugby and football, much like my DH. He also plays a lot of video games with my DH and they bond very easily over it. S is almost his polar opposite- he is very shy and hates playing sports and much prefers drawing, colouring and reading to playing video games. Therefore, he and DH have never really bonded much. Lastly, G is a mix of both and his personality changes with whoever he’s playing with- he’s pretty relaxed and easy-going in general and therefore he and DH have quite a good bond.
I’m just worried that DH is clearly favouring M and when I ask him about he just says that M is easier to get on with. DH doesn’t even seem to like or even be willing to take and watch S do activities like his swimming class. Will this leave a lasting negative impact on S? I’ve tried getting DH to interact with S but he just groans as if I’m being unreasonable
AIBU or are all dads just like that?
