Our 18mo DD is cute, funny and beginning to grow into her character. I am a SAHM and loving it. She loves her daddy and when he gets home from work her little face lights up. However, if he tries to play with her she crawls away and if he tries to cuddle her she screams. If she wants a book, for example, she will bring it to me and if I'm busy and he tries to take it to read it with her, she shakes her head vehemently and carries on bringing it to me.
She is perfectly happy when he baths her, playing and giggling with him. She won't let him put her to bed though - she screams and is inconsolable until I go in. As soon as I go in and cuddle her she stops in seconds.
He has taken her out for day-trips and she is absolutely fine all day.
She is also very clingy in other situations, although she is gradually getting better - it was that I couldn't walk across a room without her screaming, but now she copes with me leaving the room for a few minutes.
What can we do? DH is beginning to feel very low about it all (It has been going on for months) and whilst we know it is a phase, she seems to be getting worse with him, rather than better. :(
Please help!
