Daddy bonds...

Usually when I ask the daddy to babysit the kids, it's often the case where each kid will be having their own tablet and either playing games or watching some video on You tube with him as the supervisor on his own tablet. Pet peeves I admit but nothing serious... over the years, I've grown accustomed to this. This is how daddies are and it's not unique to him. I see this happening to other daddies & their kids at malls, at the doctors', everywhere... Of course I do wish that the daddy can do other stuff with them like teaching them ABCs, doing art & crafts, reading etc but that doesn't happen without specific instructions from me, the terrorizing mummy. But that's the difference between him and me and instead of trying to pick on this difference, I've learnt to appreciate it and be grateful for daddy's presence which I know is a very privileged one as not all children have that.

Nonetheless, it's always a refreshing change when I see the daddy and children bonding over stuff other than tablets. Like how I was out one night and I received photos on how he was bonding with Jill. And, just the other night, after my usual nightly revisions with Jill, I walked into the bedroom and was pleasantly surprised to see father & son so warm & loving! Such a rare sight, that i just HAD TO take these photos sneakily for keeps!
