Emily writes: Lately, I’ve noticed that a funny thing happens when I lay off the judgement: Aron and I are more likely to be open to trying the other’s approach. That means that he might ready about toddler behavior, or I’ll make a game out of brushing Sylvia’s teeth, instead of gritting mine.

So on the next Father’s Day (Daddy’s Day), I think I’m going to inaugurate our first annual- Sometimes, Every Once in Awhile, Whaddya Know – Daddy Actually Does Know Best Day, and follow his lead…. at least for the day.

Commentary: Thank you, thank you, thank you. As a Daddy, I will gladly take One Day a Year, to be fully appreciated.

The Daddy Difference by Emily Bloch, with commentary by Mr Daddy

We left off yesterday with the Daddy wanting to know “why” the mommy is insisting on a new direction for the upbringing of their child. The Daddy says, just because someone says so, why does it matter?

Emily writes: Women are more sensitive to getting it ‘right’, since it used to be if anything’s wrong with the child, the mother’s to blame. Also, they tend to compare notes with other parents more than dads do.

Dealing with the difference: There’s a time and place to get help and information from others, but it’s also good to have the confidence to rely on your own instincts. In the end, no one knows your kids better than you.

Commentary: I will have to go with “mommy’s are more sensitive than daddy’s” and this trait has served our world well. GOD had a plan and that was part of it. I am glad Mrs Daddy is more sensitive than me, could you imagine if both parents were not as sensitive to the our babies needs? I love how genuine, sensitive and caring Mrs Daddy is to our family, I would not want it any other way.

Mr Daddy

The Daddy Difference – “Trusts himself more than the Experts”, By Emily Bloch with commentary by Mr Daddy.

My wife can be a little anal about following advice, but I’m more likely to feel that we know what’s best for us”, says Clark Avery of San Francisco, dad of 14-month-old Andee. “I go back to: If you’re asking me to do something different from what I normally do, is there proof to show why the new way is better? If not, then it’s just a matter of opinion.”

Why moms are different: Renner says that this is a typical split (after all guys won’t ask for directions, either):

Commentary: A couple of thoughts. The first is that my wife always has a plan, and she knows the direction she wants to go with our son in his care and upbringing. Many many times I question her and debate with her, but the bottom line she is right at least 98% of the time, the other 2% I dance the jig, high five myself, and congratulate myself with a beer for being right. Secondly, thank goodness for GPS, now guys are justified with not having to ask directions, I have always thought, why ask for directions, like that guy on the corner is going to know more than me….. geeeeez!!

Mr Daddy
