Hi, my DS turned 3 in April, for the last few months maybe even 6 months or more he only really wants mummy to do things with him like take him to the loo, help him with his dinner, even simple things like opening a door for him, putting his shoes on or taking them off. I have to do everything or he strops. When my husband offers to help which he does all the time, my son acts offended and says no, yesterday we decided enough was enough ane he took our son to the toilet, my son screams house down, ends in tears and a timeout issued by dad! Has anyone else experienced their kids only wanting mum all the time. He wont even hug his dad. His dad is loving and caring but is feeling so rejected by his own son. How can i help this situation? When i am not around, DS has to do things with his dad and he does. So why when we are both there is he horrible to his dad, tries to hit him, smack him and blows raspberries at him. i fear their relationship will be non existant and my husband will give up! HELP
