Ok, my son is 2. He has recently started refusing to hug or be cuddly with my DH (his dad) at all.
(He is very cuddly with his grandparents when we see them, just not his dad.)
It has been upsetting my DH and tonight after a crappy day at work, he just wanted a hug from his son and he absolutely refused.
When I was getting DS into his Pyjamas, I asked him to give his dad a hug goodnight and he screamed no and clung to me so DH went away upset and I said to son, look daddy is upset, he's gone now and son went "yay!" really loudly so DH could hear.
I have no idea why DS is behaving like this other than to think that maybe it's cos his dad doesn't normally do a lot of the 'cuddly stuff' he's more of the 'wind them up and chase them around the house so they're hyper before bed' kind of dad and I'm definitely the cuddly kind of parent but it's really upsetting DH.
This evening I can understand why he's upset but DH has now gone up to his friend's house (he had to go anyway so it's not spur of the moment) and I know he's upset but I feel he's upset with me too, like he thinks I want DS to be that way. :-(
AIBU to be upset at DH being upset at me...?
And what can I do about DS behaviour?
