I’d take a guess that they preferred him because she was volatile, short tempered and reacted with anger when they didn’t behave as she would like. They probably found that really scary. It’s hard to imagine what else it could be, kids mums are usually their favourite person (emphasis on the word usually).Yeah I can agree with head in the sand, I guess we just have different thoughts as to why he acted that way.
It might be futile to speculate further, but what do you make of the fact that the girls preferred him to Lauren?
As a mother and primary caregiver (I didn’t work during my kids’ earliest years and now that they’re in school I work part time) it feels so obvious that the kids prefer me because they spend more time with me. They are also close with their dad but if they wake up at night, hurt themselves, want a snack etc it’s me they come to. And that doesn’t make me special, for any of my mom friends it’s the same unless they have a family set up where the dad stays home.
So I just find it very telling that they preferred Graham- especially when waking up at night which is such a mom thing.
ETA all imo and all assumptions
