Bond with your children

Just that really. Do you have strong bond with all your children? Or do you have a stronger bond with the eldest, youngest or middle child?

I have an equally strong bond with both my children. In different ways as they are such different personalities but equally as strong xx

Bonds mean different things. Some people are self sufficient, some need reassurance even as adults, some people company you prefer more than others.

What do you mean by 'bond' ?

What kind of bond do you have then OP?

AngelicCurls · 23/10/2018 18:41

Totally different personalities here but have a bond/love for them that’s equal. Of course they also have bits of their personality which are trying as well, especially when they rub each other up the wrong way as well!

I thought this was going to be about what age to watch the films together.

I think you just appreciate your children for who they are don't you? I love all my DCs the same way. I am proud of their very different strengths. I am irritated by different things they do or quirks they have sometimes (for instance they are all incredibly stubborn!) but I love them quirks and all, and so I think my 'bond' with them is just that - unconditional love no and no matter what things we have in common or not. Ie our taste in films or music - I frequently find our different perspectives on life amusing!

Yes I definitely have a bond with both, it’s different of course for each, littlest is only a toddler so takes up lots of attention with potty training, playing imaginative games (yawn!!) etc, whereas the oldest is 6 and quite a complex little person. But I certainly have a bond with them both, and the three of us are a unit too (i’m a LP). I do worry that neither of them get enough one to one time but that is what it is unfortunately.
