and its starting to wear us both down abit.

We've had this with dd1 but as soon she turned 2 she was fine (she is now 6 and adores her dad) but not as bad as dd2!!

Im a SAHM and i know its normal for that child to be alittle bit closer to you than the person who goes out working all day.

I know dd2 does dearly loves him. When im NOT here, Dp said she is brilliant as they plays together nicely but as soon i come home and she sees me, she hisses at him and doesnt want to know him!!, but for the past 2 weeks, it getting to the point if im here she wont let him put the bib on or push her chair in to have dinner or even to look at a scratch, etc that she had hurted herself - let me put it this way, she wont let him do anything now and its always "Mum" "Mum" "Mum", if Dp asked her if he can help, she say "No!....Mum".

She is happy for her Dad to get her ready for bed and she drink her bottle but now she wanted me to put her in bed and not Dp or otherwise she screaaaammmmmiiiinnnngg!!!!! so i have to come into her bedroom with her to calm her down with dp in the bedroom too but she starts screaming again if i walked out of her bedroom and leave Dp in there with her to read or sing a song.

Dp will not give up till dd2 gives up, but there are days where he looks very tired from working hard (self employed and money is crap!) and ill do it.

Both girls are very def a mummy's girl...just rather wish one of them was a daddy's girl to give me a break!!

Lately its getting worse and ive got to do everything with her to calm her down as she acted like her daddy is gonna gobble her up if i lefted her sitting on his knee!! Dp is trying his hardest to calm her down and try to side track her but it doesnt seem to work much anymore.

If he takes her out for a day out, they get on brilliant and she is so good. If we all go out, she is fine with both of us and not just wanting me!?!?!. strange!

HELP!!

thanks

Ha, now she's fit upon this brilliant wheeze to get a rise out of her parents. She pretends not to like one parents. Soon she will start pretending to him that you are the devil incarnate.

Seriously, neither of you should pay any heed whatsoever. She'll grow out of it, just as your first DD did.

its a everyday thing too and yeah i do hope she will grow out of it but i can see on dp's face that hes looks abit miffed but hes trying not to show it
