My DS is 22mo and prefers everyone to me. His dad is a SAHD so that's understandable, he always calls for daddy and looks for him. He never calls for mummy and doesn't seem that fussed when I come home from work most of the time. But he also seems to prefer the rest of my family. Tonight he hugged everyone in the room except me, for example. He actually swerved past me to get to my mum.
I try not to be hurt by it, but I am. I work full time, and not by preference, I'd much rather be at home more. I'm worried I've damaged our relationship. I do as much as I possibly can when I'm there and put him to bed every night for example.
I feel silly for being upset by this :(
