Angel with others - devil with me - what am I doing wrong?

My 27-month-old son is an angelic looking little creature, who is well... angelic with his nannies, babysitters, daddy, granny and grandad. However he turns into winging, whining, screaming, go away-mummy type when with me.
Most upsettingly, he will be playing with his daddy and if I walk in he just goes nuts and pushes me away.
I am feeling pretty rubbish about it. I had a post natal depression, ds had horrific colic. I had a really difficult time connecting with him at early stages and later it feels like he isn't that keen to connect with me. Am beating myself up about it all, though at the same time am thinking I can't surely be THAT BAD. Help!

Mine did this, and told me he only loves Daddy, wouldn't cuddle me or anything for a while. It would have been about the same age as well. It was a short lived phenomenon, just to make me feel shit.

He LOVES me really. I think it went on for a couple of months, and I don't know why he stopped. Probably because he didn't get a rise out of me, or maybe he just forgot about his evil scheme? I don't know, bbut I was glad when he loved me again.

Yours will too. Don't put any of it on yourself, they are just a bit funny playing with boundaries etc.
