Moms and dads play a crucial yet different role in their baby’s life. Their thoughts, emotions, and approaches are very different from each other. This mixed parenting benefits the child as it can pick the best traits or behaviors from both parents. However, it’s pretty humorous to see both parents having a different say in the same situations.
Let’s look at these 10 typical situations that make you realize how differently the mind works in both moms and dads.
1. When They Sleep With Their Baby

Parents are often seen sleeping with their little ones on the same bed, which is a good thing to do. Moms are more attached and love the moments of feeling close to their babies, whereas dads are afraid of crashing into their babies and suffocating them by mistake while sleeping. They might even leave the bed and sleep on the sofa to avoid this mishap or might not even sleep at all.
2. When Baby Cries At Night

Parents go through sleepless nights when they try to make their little ones sleep peacefully by sacrificing their peace and sleep. Meanwhile, mothers seem to be more concerned about their baby’s comfort. Fathers, on the other hand, can get through all the loud midnight cries without discomfort. They tend to fall asleep throughout the night without getting affected by the baby’s cry.
3. When Their Kid Is Upset, Or Angry

Moms are more emotionally attached to their kids. So they’ll try to comfort their kids by talking to them and calming them. However, dads just think about releasing the tension through some physical activities. Fathers always prefer loud actions instead of soft-spoken words, whether boxing a bag or breaking some glass.
4. When They Play With Their Kids

Playing with the kids is always fun when there is equal participation. However, dads are likelier to make their kids do a significant part of the game. From fetching to pulling a cart, dads want their kids to do all the rough and challenging work, whereas moms make it smooth for the kids to play comfortably by providing them with whatever they need.
5. When They Find Out About Their Kid’s Relationship

Fathers are more chilled than mothers in most situations, but kids’ relationships, especially daughters, become too protective when it comes to relationships. They become too judgmental and picky about the decision. On the other hand, mothers are pretty supportive of their kid’s relationship, and more kids are likely to reveal their love life to their mothers only.
6. When They Engage In Storytelling

Storytelling or casual bedtime stories are two different experiences with both mother and father separately. Mothers are more focused on delivering the story’s message or moral values by simplifying it and making it sound all love and safe. In comparison, fathers take the storytelling to another level by spitting out rough and wild facts and making it gross for children to digest the scene.
7. When Their Kids Ask Them To Go Out

Asking the mothers about going out is like facing a questionnaire round; one can not proceed further unless they are satisfied with the responses. At the same time, fathers don’t want to get disturbed much, so they just give away permission without asking about anything. However, mothers are more lenient with their children, whereas it’s tough to convince a father if he’s not pleased with the idea.
8. When They Are Out With Their Kids

Asking the parents out is pretty tough, but when the kids are out with their parents, it’s a unique, fun experience. Fathers become too friendly and support performing wild; she worries that kids will get infected or develop colds. Although, it’s always a good idea to spend some spare time with your parents.
9. When They Click Their Kids’ Pictures

Mothers will not spare a chance to click the cutest pictures of their kids. Instead, they can make them Instagram models overnight by making them wear cute clothes. Whereas fathers will capture the funniest images anyone can ever ask for. They will click their babies in awkward situations just to catch a memorable moment and later laugh with their kids watching it in the future.
10. When They Find Their Kid Eating Food From The Ground

Five seconds rule is everyone’s favorite rule, but a mother won’t allow her kids to pick the food from the floor and eat. Instead, she will tell them not to repeat it and throw away the food item. On the other hand, fathers are cool with it. They might even eat with their kids but at the same time, tell them not to inform their mother.
