An expectant mum has asked if mothers are more attached to their babies than fathers. It comes after the new mum wanted to go away without her baby but was told she wouldn't want to when the baby arrives.
She then questioned why it is accepted dads go back to work so soon after the birth of their children. Posting on Mumsnet, she said she is expecting her first baby in August and wanted to leave baby with her mum for two nights and take her husband to Paris for his 40th.
The mum was told "unanimously no" as people said she would not feel ready and the baby would be too young. The poster said it got her wondering if mums get more attached to their babies than dads.
