Hi all. DD is almost 20 months and seems to have a real preference for her dad! She will play, cuddle ect with me when it's just us two at home, but as soon as DH gets home from work it's like I don't exist! She will follow him around, clamber on his lap, demand cuddles ect and if I try and take her off of him (if DH needs the loo or something for example) she will throw a huge tantrum!
Even if she wakes up in the night (which granted doesn't happen much anymore) she will literally push me away if I try and comfort her and want her dad instead 😠She also seems to throw far fewer tantrums with DH than with me.
I try and tell myself that it's just a phase, or that because I'm at home with her all day I'm a bit boring and her dad is more fun and novel, but I must admit it does hurt a little that she seems to like her dad so much more! Of course it's lovely to see that DD and DH have such a close bond.
Is this normal? Did any of your little ones go through a 'only wants dad' phase?
