they're husbands ?

The love you feel for a spouse is different than the love you feel for a child. Both relationships need the same amount of attention, love, and caring. I feel it's unfortunate when the woman leaves the husband on the backburner because a loving relationship between the husband and wife leads to a more loving home for the child. And vice-versa.

It isn't that mothers love their husbands less, they love their child in a completely different way. A mother feels the responsibility for her child, her husband does not need the same attention her child does. There is enough love to go around, be patient and help with the baby more. If the mother gets help with the baby she will have more time to show the husband attention.

Ok well I'm sorry to answer this since I'm not really a mother but it is my opinion that it's just a different kind of love. Love for a husband should be infatuation and a longing desire to spend the rest of your life with them and support them when they need support. Love for a child should be complete awe that this is your child and a longing desire to give them the best life has to offer them and teach them and raise them right.

I wouldn't say that they love their children more. It just tends to be a different kind of love. Most mother's feel that special bond that can only exist between a mother and her child. There for the love that you feel for your husband can not be the same.

I have a 2 yr old son. In my case, I found out that being a mother has taught me more patience and compassion. As a result, now my love for my husband is "better quality" love.
My husband has been by my side, supporting me 100% through all our son's illnesses and mine. He has goten up in the middle of the night with me to tend to the baby, has cried with me and laughed with me, truly cherished our family. My husband has always been a wonderful man but to see how kind and loving and patient he is to our son makes me love him more and more every day, it makes me respect him more and feel more proud of him. I have always loved my husband but I love him now more than ever. And I can not compare the love I feel for him to the love I feel for my son just the same way I can not say what is more important to me my kidneys or my lungs. They are both part of me and I need them to live.
Yes, being a parent is a challenge and some days you feel like you will lose it. But at the end of the day, parenting together has made me love my husband even more now than the day I married him!

Not necessarily. It is just a different kind of love. But women are different, that's for sure. I love my husband more than life and would do anything in the world for him. But I also love my son more than life and would do anything in the world for him. Although you can fall in love with your husband you can also fall in love with your child. It is just in a different way. Of course all of this is for normal people. To me, if a woman loves her child more than her husband and shows alot less interest in her husband, she doesn't love her husband the way that she should in the first place. I hope this helps you with your question.

It is a different kind of love. See the babies can't get up and get their own drink or food. They can't go to the medicine cabinet and get an aspirin for their head ache. The husband can fend for himself if need be. So no it's not that they love the children more it's the children need their mother to help them and that is where the bond comes in.

This would be like asking if you had a favorite child. I love my husband and my children the same, but I have a greater obligation to my children, say if I could only save one, my husband or child who would it be? I would save my child. Not out of greater love, but out of greater obligation and I know my husband would do the same.

Not at all I just love my kids in a different way. The love I have for them is unconditional and they will never do anything that could make me stop loving them or turn my back on them my husband however would be gone in a heartbeat if he ever cheated or became abusive.

I would say mostly yes in the beginning. Because the baby is so freaking cute!! But the thing is that babies need all the time and attention so it is natural for the mother to focus all the energy on him/her. It is normal for the dad to feel left out during this period at least until the baby is mobile
