Bonding

[captain_slinky]

Forcing my kid to bond with her Grandmother from Ohio by actively avoiding Molly-Daddy interaction is difficult, but well worth it :)

Over the last month-and-a-half or so, I've come to realize that I'm... Different. From 98% of all other parents I know. MOST parents I know are regular adult human beings who crave "Me Time" and NEED somebody to takeover watching The Kid/Kids at least once a week so they can unwind, or get stuff done, or go shopping, or whatever.

Me, I LOVE taking Molly places and doing stuff with her! I build my entire day, every day, around what she wants to do :) Unfortunately, this doesn't lead to a lot of "Social" time for her. She prefers deserted playgrounds over active ones full of kids. She'd rather stay here and ride her bike with me than go to a Playland.

I worry that this is just me projecting my own anti-social tendencies on her, or if she's really that much of a loner. I try to give her all the options for a day... offer her lots of social trips like active parks and such... but she always chooses intimate "Daddy Molly" activities.

And I think I might like those Molly-Daddy activities too much for her own good :(

That is quite possibly more information than I needed to know. But thanks for the visual... I must now share it with my family :)
