They say little boys loooooove their mommies. And if Rafael and Markus are at all typical, it's true. But sometimes I feel badly that they favor me so much, and so overtly. Daddy does at least as much as mommy in our house, but mommy gets all the glory.

@Amy - Cody was the same way until this past year, and he still favors me more, just not as badly. I know my husband has even said things about it that has made me feel bad... but I do believe it is the mother-son connection or bond. I feel a bit badly about it sometimes Also when they're young they think they can only love one person. Just like they think they can have only one friend and cannot share that friend.

Well, you know that saying,"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? Well it is definitely true with children. My oldest niece used to push Mommy inside to take a walk with her Daddy when he got home from work- "No Mommy" she would say! My boys will come to me for comfort, but they always run to hide from Daddy when he gets home from work as little boys (now they go get their swords to attack Daddy!) I have an extremely close relationship with my boys, they ask me the sensitive questions about life, death, sex among other issues. (They also do not always obey me the way they do Daddy, so it is a total trade-off.) My boys never said anything negative about Daddy, but they have always run to me for comfort(I- need- Mommy through tears if Daddy tried to clean the cut.) My hubby was just fine with that since he can't stand the sight of blood. So, yes they play favorites, but it creates a great bond and they won't hate your spouse forever...it evens out eventually.
