Poll: Do You Love Your Baby-Daddy More Than Your Baby?
Do you love (or expect to love) your partner more than your child/ren?
Discussion
First of all, I think the terms, Baby Daddy and Baby Mama are so DISRESPECTFUL. If you are going to have a child with someone, give them the proper respect as your co-parent. That person is your CHILDS MOTHER/FATHER. You degrade yourself, your partner, and your child when you refer to that person, the person who helped to create your beloved CHILDREN in the first place, in such a derogatory manner. As for the question itself. Are you serious? You have different kinds of love in your life. The love of your Spouse/Partner cannot compare to the love of your Children, just as neither of those loves can compare to that you would show your own parents. You don't love your spouse more than you love your child, you love them both (I would hope!) just in very different ways. But for the record, a spouse or lover can come and go, but until the day your children bury you, you will ALWAYS be a parent.
IF THIS QUESTION IS REFERRING TO MY EX HUSBAND OR MY CHILD. MY CHILD WINS HANDS DOWN. I LOVE MY CHILD MORE.
I do not think choosing between your partner and child is appropriate. Babies our made out of love from couples,so babies are there to consolidate the love you feel for each other.Both deserve equal amount of love and attention.
They are such different kinds of love. As parents, both of us would save our children first from a burning building. If we were the one in the burning building, we would want the kids to be saved first.
At the same time, my husband is the one I turn to for companionship. He is the one who will listen if I have a bad day or invite me out for lunch if he knows I'm feeling blue. I am the one who listens to the stories about crazy people at work.
My kids are a reflection of the deep abiding love I have for their fathers. They are my love made manifest, though I would never want to choose child over father! Still my kids will someday make it out on their own and build lives for themselves where their father's lives are built around being with me. So while I'll be a mother forever I've been a lover, wife and friend longer. It's so great love doesn't have a limit and isn't scarce cause It would be awful having to choose to not love someone because you already love someone else...there'd be no multiple kid homes!
