HI Dads and Moms!Is your baby ( children) your best friend?

Yah, my daughter is my bestfriend. When she started to go out in the world and start to cry, that's the time that i can feel that i'm already a mom. That i have a big responsibility to her, that she needs me, my care, my support, my love, so i give it all to her. I dont even no time to go out with my friends, because i wanted to be with my baby. She is my life, my strength, and she made me complete as a person and as a woman..

It is great to spend time with your children as they grow up way too fast. I would not call my children my best friends because I am their parent. We do like to have fun together and we go many places together as a family. That is called being a family. I love spending time with my chidren who are now 12, 14 and 22. I do however suggest that you and your husband take time to enjoy time together as well. Go out on dates even with friends. Let someone take care of your baby so your baby is used to other people. In the long run this is a good thing to do. If children are never allowed to be watched while parents go out then they fear being left alone. If an emergency comes up where you have to leave a child that has never been left before it is very difficult. I have a niece that we are working on that right now. She has 5 children who she rarely leaves with others. Her brother was put in the hospital and she was forced to leave her son who is 2. I am not sure who cried more her son or her. Her son knows us because we see him all the time but he has never been left with anyone so it was rather tramatic for him. The baby who was 5 months had no problem with it at all. The older children while not liking it so much did ok since they were used to school and preschool being left. I just felt so bad for the 2 year old and no amount of comfort helped. So what I am trying to say is yes enjoy that baby to the fullest but make sure you do go out even if only for an hour once in a while to help the baby know it is ok to leave that mommy and daddy will always be back.

ofcourse my kids are my best friends, and i know soon enough you will go out again! one day they can be so irritating that you're happy to be free for one hour! ofcourse it doesn't happen much, but i like some time for myself more now i have two kids! just stay in contact with your friends, and you can also bring your baby too!

How wonderful that you're enjoying your new baby so much! What a lucky little boy to have such attentive parents. I think it's pretty natural to be engrossed with your new baby (especially first babies) to the exclusion of all else - and there's nothing wrong with that, at least for a while. Be sure that you're not getting 'burnt out' on being with baby all the time, though. There will come a time when you'll be happy to get away from him for a little while (although you'll certainly miss him while you're apart), and it's good for you to have adult interaction with someone other than your husband sometimes. When he's a little older, maybe you can seek out a playgroup in your area, which will provide both of you with some needed social interaction. My daughter is three and I tell her sometimes that she's my best friend - makes her so happy to hear, and in some ways it's true. Of course, I also have my (female, adult) best friend, and in some ways my husband is my best friend. It's good to have variety. :) Congratulations on your new baby boy!
