dads play rough

Anyone else have a heart attack seeing your H/SO/FI play with your LO?

Right now SO is throwing J up in the air, spinning him around, rolling around on the floor. My heart is POUNDING!

    I do that kind of rough play too! Almost gave DH's grandma a heart attack.

    No, but DH freaks out with how rough I play with the kids...

    DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.

    I freak out too. I'll roll around with them and be silly but DH takes it to a different level but I think it just looks rougher since he's do much bigger.

    Yep! Gives me a heart attack every time! Sometimes I can't take it and yell at him to stop. LO loves the rough play but mama doesn't!

    I am the one who plays rough!  I love tossing DS in the air - he loves it and laughs so hard!

    I am part of the rough playing crowd. LO loves to be spun in a circle or thrown in the air.

    Yep.  I read somewhere that it's really important for kids to have a dad/other non-mom figure who plays with them in a different (usually rougher) way than mom does, for development.  I forget the specific reason though :)

    Yep! DH is the overprotective one, and is usually very delicate with her. I'm the one spinning her around and stuff.

    I am ok with the flying as long as he never actually lets go.

    Oh jeez. I was the one that started the rough play with R when he was old enough to figure it out lol. DH is just as crazy as me and R loves to be tossed around in the air. He's a boy. He can handle it. :]

    I read something similar. I don't remember it saying if it was important, but that they know he difference.
