Is it always the mummies who get more pinches and bites than anyone?

I literally got punched in the face today!

Ds loves to pull the little baby hairs underneath that hurt so bad! I can never release his little fists from my hair because it is so sensitive.

Undoubtedly they save the worst for mum.
Curious though - if a dad stays at home as the main carer do they still get the most grief or is it still the mum? Presume then it would be the dad.

Oh yes. And they get the sick, and the poo on them more than anyone else too. They get climbed on and thumped and bashed as well.

They also get more hugs, kisses and cuddles, and little drawings, and lumps of playdoh which are flying saucers, and bits of cardboard covered in sellotape which turns out to be a bookmark. And once the kids are writing the mummies get little notes saying "I love you" quite a lot too.

DD bit my cheek this morning in bed . DH claimed she was being 'affectionate' Affectionate my arse, she is a little bugger!

So no, it's not just you. I have lost count of the swipes, punches, bites, scratches, eye gouges, lip pulls, nipple nips, and navel pokes I've received in the last year. Domestic violence, thy name is DD!
