I have a 2 and half yr old daughter with whom I came into her life when she was 2. She calls me daddy and we laugh/play but i can see that she is more closer to her grandparents than me especially her Granddad- she even calls him Dad which really annoys me. How do i bond with her more/ what can i do to strengthen the relationship between me and her. I am jealous of the fact that me and her are not as close as her and her granddad on her mothers side.
I understand obviously that its because the Granddad has played a much more active role in her life than I have but its disheartening to hear her call him Dad sometimes and seem to enjoy his company more than with me.
My daughter also doesnt live with me she spends 3 days a week if not more at her Grandparents house and when she is with me shes (understandably) constantly asking for mummy, nana, Granddad.
In any case what advice could anyone give in terms of activities to with a two and a half yr old girl for a father?
