My daughter is a year old and I've recently gone back to work 3 days a week. In the last 6 weeks she has gone from being happy with both of us to only wanting to be with her dad, to the point she'll cry and leap out of my arms if her dad is around. I know I shouldn't let it bother me but it does make me sad. AIBU to feel a little jealous and hope it's a phase?

I had this with our 1st Dd. She's 36 early 2017. Our youngest is 34. They chopped & changed over the years. My eldest has my manerisms & her dad gravitates towards her. She's deffo a daddies girl. Our youngests displays more of her dad's qualities, & I feel totally at peace 99% of the time in her company.

I think when you can identify what's going on your halfway sorted.
