Do dads tend to miss being away from their child or children for a certain period of time as much as moms do?

Yes, dads can also miss being away from their child or children for a certain period of time, just as much as moms do. It is a common misconception that only mothers experience a strong bond and attachment to their children. Both parents can form strong bonds with their children and miss them equally when they are apart. Research has shown that fathers who spend more time with their children have stronger emotional bonds with them and are more likely to experience distress when separated from them. So, it is natural for both parents to miss their children and want to spend time with them.

SOME dads do, and they are very devoted to being the best dad they can be, but have seen too many divorces whre the father did not want primary custody and didn't want visitation that approahed even 40% of all overnights.

My experiences have showed me that, no, they don't miss being away from their kids like the mother does.
I'm not say most men don't love and miss their kids, because they do.
It's just different for the Mom. She feels very responsible to make sure her kids are always ok and to make sure they're taken care of.
