SmartPolician:
It's natural for most women probably because of the blood connection they have with their children. OP raised an important point: Children need more attention because they cannot help themselves but fathers are adults.
Lastly, I won't fail to add that women are somewhat selfish and self-centered.
If you want to learn nature's way of doing things, observe other animals, not just the humans around you. undecided

Yes, it is natural for children to need more care but that care is meant to come from both parents and not just the one. What the OP describe is instead a psychological problem that many women and wives struggle with, and many live in denial of. undecided

If it's correct then what could be responsible?



They never loved their husbands genuinely,they got married either because of escaping poverty, marrying to quit wayward lifestyle totally or partially, marrying because of wealth and power, or marrying becos of children or some other personal desire....but trust me,85% of these women never married out of genuine love...That's why they love their children,their family and friends even more than their husbands....Las Las...woman need man as man need woman too...Let love lead. smiley

Why do fathers prefer their children over their wives?


This hardly happens, but women prefering their children to their husbands is very common

It's biology. Nature encourages continuity of life, that's why sex is pleasurable. Children need care and attention to grow and that's one reason why kids are naturally cute. You wanna touch them, carry them, feed them,
Mothers hence are biologically wired to give utmost attention to children

Only few women know this...

Ones couples see themselves as first before kids, That family is bonded for life...


Exactly.

When couple put the kids first, they tend to use the kids to get at each other in a subtle kind of way, instead of addressing those minor issues. And that is how things escalate.

I had that issue after my first child, after 8 years of 3 children I've learnt to live with that. I think it is just in mothers to behave that way. I just pray to God for grace to continually provide for family rather than start shouting of less attention, time, love or meat lol grin grin


What has really helped me to get loved as much as my children is helping my wife love the children in little things in the way she understands as love, like helping with assignments, play time, bathing them, feeding them, outing, shopping and going to bank, my children like going to bank maybe because from bank we usually branch shop rite or buy toys that will be lost or damaged the next day.

Husbands are babies to their wives until the real babies come you will know your real position. It may continue this way until your children are grown and leaves your house, then your wife can come back to you.


But some are not not this way. My wife loves and cares for me so much but she puts extra when it's the children maybe just maybe because because they are children




You are a good man and husband.

When a husband doesn't give maximum attention and affection to the wife, she tends to divert the attention and affection due to her husband to the children.

Advice: Spouses should not love their children more than their husband/wife.

Anytime my mom visits me, she's always eager to return to her husband (my father). Both of them love each other a little too much.

This is why I love and respect them. This an idea of love I can confidently relate to, not the fact that I was breastfed and carried in the womb for 9 months. FFS, I don't know a single thing about my time in the womb.
That eager to return home and be with her hubby is the real deal.

This is just typical of my parents...Growing up, they both keep cancelling transfers in their respective jobs, so they won't be away from eachother...It happened to extent it caused my dad his job, God willing things normalised years after..

Now tell me how I will hear issues like this as a grown up, I won't tripple my love for both.

Growing up till now, my mom love I and my brothers equally...Nothing she won't do for us...But, my Dad comes first..

Definite prefer in this context?? undecided

Marriages are different and the dynamics and dating and intimacy periods are different. So if a woman has a child how she treats u afterwards is a factor of the how the pre baby Times was spent and the duration.


Obviously the woman needs time to recover from the child bearing scares or stress and then she needs time to focus on the new born baby to where he/she is stable enough. Bt if after kids are stable like 2/4 years and above and she prefers the children then that’s because u don’t understand how she thinks.

Many men don’t know their partners so well, they just see they like each other and start dating and next marriage and babies. Anything in between they don’t know. So when issues pop up they are very confused by their partners actions and don’t even know how to address it correctly.


ahnie:

I dunno.
In my own case the bond I share with my kids is far more solid and stronger in quantum than the one I share with my husband.

Sometimes sef,I dey even forget say I get husband.

Pls nobody should quote me oh,I have gone to buy paracetamol.

This makes no sense unless u have issues with ur husband just say so. undecided

Lol...drink water and chill.

You see that man you think you have caged, And he is dancing to your tune, If he is fed up, your name will be sorry..

Na same man go rent and furnish apartment for another woman and still have kids with her while taking all your excesses..

What a man want to do, is always buried deep in his heart..Just frustrate his peace of mind and see the dirty side of him...Either intentional or unintentional..Maybe by surprise grin

Be the peace of mind to whoever comes to marry you...If not this world will be hell.
All this will not happen if I marry a reasonable and matured man,he will help you grow out of your shortcomings. I know very well the story of Yobo and Adaeze and i can tell you it was Yobo who made that marriage work.Adaeze was a huge problem but Yobo was patient and matured enough to know she'll grow and become calm and that's how it later turned out to be.I'll not marry a man that'll dish it back same way I dish it to him,reason I don't give face to small boys(18-35).

Thank you.... It is definitely sign of problem in the marriage. But our people love denial like a twin and so they celebrate silliness rather than raise alarm over it. undecided

A man's peace of mind is non-negotiable.

This is like what ladies do, before marriage, they are all sweeting and honeying the man...After marriage both sweet and honey will turn to papa Emeka.. lipsrsealed

babies are like your own creation and you have the full responsibility to nurture and raise them... It's like making yourself. You put more attention on what you build. This is naturaly so and it is not their fault. God made it so. Just look at Facebook the original creation of Mark (he makes sure that it works on all phones or anything that can browse despite the vulnerabilities associated with it working on outdated browsers, but look at whatsapp which wasn't his core creation, it works on selected phones). So it is in all things. It is no one's fault. Some women are still in some marriages only because of their children and nothing more or less.
