DS is 3. I normally put him to bed as DH on way back from work. Although 2 days a week DH works from home, so is around a fair bit and very much does his fair share.
DS is very particular about who he wants to do things for and with him.
Putting to bed is very much a me thing - only mummy will do. Think I need to break this habit and persuade him that it's a real treat for him and for daddy to be able to do the whole putting to bed thing.
If DS knows I'm out, he'll go to bed no problem for DH. If I'm in the house he really plays up and shouts and cries for me - we normally give in.
Thinking I should be harder about it and say, it's daddy or nothing. But don't want bedtimes to be a battle ground or for it to become a punishment for DH to put him to bed.
He was exactly the same when he was in nappies "I want mummy to change my nappy"...grrrr.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
