My youngest boy is 20 months old and has over the past 2 months or so started only letting his Dad do things for him. Dressing, changing his nappy, feeding him (when he won't feed himself) everything. If I try to do anything he throws a tantrum and screams until his Dad takes over. Which is fine during the evening when he is here but an actual nightmare during the day when there is only me there. The worst part of the day is bedtime, my OH has to put him to bed or he makes himself sick and screams for about 45 minutes keeping his 2 older siblings awake. Tonight he has woken up after Dad left for the gym and is refusing to go back to sleep!
This has never happened to me before I think I am quite strict with bedtime and routines and have never struggled to get them to bed. Has anyone got any ideas? I have tried lying him back down without speaking but he just puts his fingers into his mouth to make himself sick, the only thing that works is putting him in his bouncy chair until he eventually falls asleep which takes about 2 hours!
To be honest it is driving me crazy and i'm seriously considering who should be the worker and who should stay at home!
