Urgh!! My DP is a SAHD and at the moment DD(2) only wants her daddy. She's unwell with a cold right now, but still if I go near her, I get, "no no DADDY" or just crying until I go away again.
Normally she has an understandable preference for him, but is still very loving with me. However, over the past couple of weeks she has really made me feel unloved!!
I work very long hours so I do struggle to get home to see her much before bed but I manage it most nights of the week and I'm there at weekends. I try to be fun and get her to respond by playing games and chatting but it's just not working at the moment.
I know I'm the adult and I know the reasons why, but it still hurts and makes me feel like a shit mum for being the working parent.
Any ideas on how to get over myself and be more appealing to her??
