Staceychev, madeinuk and old dad, thanks for your posts. Sorry but I only now saw them. It does make sense that children would be more attached to one parent or the other depending on their age and the needs at that age. Loved to read about the wonderful relationship the dads have formed with their little ones. Poor dads do have to work harder than moms.
Staceychev, you are so right that sometimes DH does feel bad when dd outright rejects him and wants to stick with me. Madeinuk, you sound like a great dad. Your dd is lucky. Old dad, so true about opposites attracting each other bcos my DH and I do complement each other. As dd grows, she will love to have a dad who is solid and dependable. The idea of matching specific child related activities to parent personality is great! Thanks everyone.
Ps. DH is an amateur astronomer and he took dd on a couple of nightly star gazing and she loved it. So did DH.
