Hard to say... it all depends on my child's mood. Sometimes he wants daddy... other times he clings to me. But I can definitely say that I understand him better than my husband.
I'm a stay at home mom... my hubby is sometimes clueless...

I would say they both love my husband and I equally. My son is 5, my daughter is 3.
I'm the care giver: drier of tears, kisser of boo-boos, giver of baths, shoulder to cry on, arms to sleep in, lap when they are sick, cooker of favorite foods, etc...
My husband is the toy: wrestling partner, jungle gym, horsey rides on the floor, piggy back rides up the stairs, tickler of tummies, blower of the belly, tosses in the air, etc...
However, I definitely understand them better. I'm a stay at home mom, and have been since my son was born. Many times my husband has no clue what they are asking for, but it's gotten better as they get older and their communication skills have improved. When they used to ask him for something, he almost always sent them to me. "I don't speak toddler" was his response.

We understand our kids in different ways and our kids love different things about each of us. My husb it the playing on the floor and in the grass kind of dad, they don't get that from me a lot. But I am the one who is there to comfort them and be gentle most of the time. We both do a lot but have different ways to show our love. The kids respond to us equally. I don't think they could understand loving one person more unless one person was not loving to them.

I've got 2 boys aged nearly 5 and 3. The older is a daddys boy and the younger is a mummys boy. I think it relates to their personalities,also when my second was born dad found it easier to look after the older one and I was always looking after the baby. I dont think he bonded well with the younger one. However both love us equally and we love them unconditionally.

My daughter gets lots of time with me and very little with her dad because of his work schedule, so when he's around she's his shadow. :) I don't let it bother me though because if she gets hurt or sick she wants only me. When they're together I like to stand back and watch them, I don't feel threatened by the love they have for one another.
I do think I understand her better. When she acts up I get frustrated at times but my husband says I have so much more patience than he does with her.

Our kids love us both the same, but no one can compare to mommy! I am a stay at home mommy and my kids are very attached to me. I would say I understand them better only because i am always with them

mommies and daddies have two different roles. My daughter wants mommy in times where she wants security but she wants daddy in times that are fun or when mommy isnt doing something she likes. I feel that it is natural for the mother to be the nurturer. I am not at all jealous of her wanting her father and I actually think its quite sweet.

I think my kids, who are grown now,are closer to me but have enjoyed being with their dad also. He doesn't/didn't question or make rules or expect certain behaviors from them. I do. I think they have a respect for me.They can live with him as adults because he doesn't make them pay rent, take care of chores, or be responsible. They know they have to do right when around me but respect me for sticking to my beliefs and not wavering.
