DS is 2.10 years and all of a sudden he is being kind of mean to his dad ,
every time dp tries to get him out of the car , put him in the car, put him to bed , and especially when it comes to cuddles he just refuses he says no I want mummy , I expect a little bit of this from a 2 year old but it is getting worse and worse and is breaking my heart to see Dp trying so hard with no response ..
Ds will come into our bed in the morning and wrap his arms around me with his back to his dad , and will cuddle me all day if I let him but Dp doesn't get a look in .
Dp is a great dad he is very hands on and they spend a lot of time together ds enjoys Dp's company gets exited when he see's him or if we go to see daddy at work and loves to play with him but will refuses to show affection although he is a very very affectionate child to everyone else .
he will only engage in play time which is usually loud and hyped up!!
Dp has been very calm with the situation and refuses to be defeated, if ds says he wants me to get him out of the car dp will say no im doing it and give him a consequence or reward type situation but tis is not always as easy as it sounds ... but I can tell it is beginning to get to him (although he is very discreet about his upset )and if im honest its beginning to get to me as it breaks my heart to see dp try so hard and get no appreciation from ds ..
how do we handle this is it normal behaviour and how do I get him to show affection towards dp
