DD is 14 weeks old & is a Mummy's girl, especially during & after the witching hour. DH is taking this really personally & tonight we have had a row about it, we are currently not speaking!
I put her to bed & about an hour later she woke up, he went to see her & she cried ... I left it as long as I could bear it (which was quite a while) because I think she needs to settle with her daddy too, after a few mins she was getting more and more inconsolable so I went & took her, she immediately stopped crying and went back to bed, he thinks I should have left him too it however I am not going to let her cry like that knowing a cuddle from me will fix it. He seems to think that she's learning to 'manipulate' me, I on the other hand think she's 3 months old & it's to be expected!
I feel bad for him because when he gets in from work she is tired & ready for bed so he only really gets the bet of her at the weekends so I know it must be hard but when she's a bit older it'll come full circle & it will be all about daddy. He seems to have let this get the better of him & am sure this effects the vibes he gives to DD. It's creating a vicious circle.
Am I being unreasonable?
