DS has always been attached to my hip but has always loved, (and still does), spending time with DH cuddling on the chair, jumping on his head, making dens etc. For some unknown reason he has recently been refusing to go to/with his dad for simple things like a goodnight kiss or just to sit in the room with him and dd while I get on with something else.
Last night DH came home from work and both kids ran up to give cuddles and were happy playing with him etc while I put out his dinner. At bed time DS started crying when I asked him to go in the livingroom with DH wile I closed the curtains and got PJ's. He said he didn't want to see his dad or give him a goodnight kiss and was pretty huffy. A one off huff is fair enough but he has done this a few times over the last few weeks and I am not quite sure what to do.
DH feels hurt when this happens and DS goes to bed without a kiss. (I know we are adults and should just let it flow over us but it stings) As soon as ds is in bed he starts crying again asking to go down and kiss DH and I say no because I feel it is just him pushing us.
Is this behaviour normal and should I force ds to say goodnight properly or get dh to put him to bed or just say yes when he asks to go downstairs.
