@LaurieFairyCake I might like the dog more than the both of them Wink she doesn't give me half as much trouble. Grin

You both love the child/children together and are responsible for their welfare so you both put them first.

RedSheep73 · 30/06/2019 17:42

Love doesn't work that way. It's like asking which of your children you love most. You love them all, it doesn't come in degrees.

Yep what AnotherEmma said.

If I had to choose between my partner and my kids I’d always choose my kids.

I don't think so many people have agreed with me on a thread EVER Grin

I often get in fights arguments, this makes a nice change Grin

These threads always end up in competitive OTT gushing about how much people LLOOOOVVVVEEEE their kids SOOOOOOOOOO much more than anything else in the entire universe.

I don’t quantify love in that way it’s not something finite that you have to have more of for one person than someone else. I’d prioritise my kids always though as they need me more than my husband does

The same but differently.

MrsMiggins37 · 30/06/2019 17:51

I must admit I’m always surprised when people say they can’t imagine any circumstances that they’d stop loving their kids. I can. If they turned out to be someone like the boy who murdered that wee girl Alesha last year for example. I can’t imagine I’d love someone who did that whether they were my child or not.

Child over spouse.

LittleWalnutTree · 30/06/2019 17:54

Well of course as 12-month-old is going to need more care and attention than an adult. Infants are incapable of looking after themselves.

This isn't about love at all really, is it? It is about jealousy.

A grown man who gets less attention because his dp has a baby to look after.

Child. Cant believe people even question it. My husband died not long ago. I've never felt pain like it, however I'm still here. If my daughter died, there is no doubt I'd end my life.
Even if she turns our to be a serial killer, I'd still love her. I'd may not like her very much, but I'd still love her.
