Our son is 2 years old and (at the moment) strongly prefers me to daddy.
If I am in the room, he has to be next to me. If I walk out he runs and holds my hand. We are very close but it can be a little annoying at times.
However, my husband has started to get very frustrated and will try and hold my son so he stays with daddy. Every time this results in a screaming fit as our son tries to get away to be near me.
I've tried to get them closer by encouraging 'father and son' time, with me not being present.
However, recently my husband has asked me not to hold our son when he moves away from daddy and comes to me. I have refused to do this, as I don't want our son to feel rejected. My husband thinks that this will help our son develop a better bond with him. AIBU to tell him to no?
