Stay at home dads?

[inspector1983]

Ok so I'm a woman but I just would be interested to hear from families where the dad is the main parent at home and the mum works full time and how is the mind relationship with the child as a result

Basically due to circumstances between my husband and I, it might be more beneficial for ME to be the full time worker and earn more etc but then I never really wanted to work full time and I feel as if I would hardly see my son and would miss out on so much with him and worry I would ruin our close bond

Anyone

Would it help if you compared yourself to others mums who work full time? As surely your hours out of the house are the same? Using that as a comparator I don't think it will affect your bond at all. Kids know who their mums are. Don't worry.

If your husband was the primary earner would you be concerned about him losing his close bond?

I work out of home, and my partner looks after our little boy during the day, until he goes to nursery at 2pm. Mummy is "on duty" at weekends.
Daddy is the fun one and Mummy is the one he wants if he's tired, though if Mummy isn't there, then Daddy is good too.
It's great for our child that he gets to spend a lot of time with his Daddy, and I think we have the best of both worlds.
