14m doesn't like her dad

[Amac234]

I Have a 14 month old daughter who acts like she hates her dad. He comes home from work and she starts crying, screaming, throwing herself to the ground as soon as he walks in, sits on sofa or even talks to her. He can't pick her up or bath her or anything a parent should be able to do and it's really starting to cause problems in the household. i She spends a lot of time with me however mingles a lot with other adults and babies.. Seems she has issues with most men in her life but never to the extent of how she is with her dad.
This has been going on for a couple of months and I really don't know what to do. She doesn't stop crying unless I pick her up but I've tried ignoring her, putting her in her bed or walking away but it's not improving.
If anyone has any advice please share.. I'm desperate!! Thank you

I've recently had the same issue with my 14mo son who a couple of weeks ago decided he hated me(or that's how it feels)

He would be fine in public then at home wouldn't go near me, got upset if I went near his toys and would cry and furiously shake his head if the word mummy was mentioned.

I've been trying really hard to get back into his good books but it seems forcing it or putting too much pressure on the situation made it a lot worse.

Instead I've found that pretending it's not an issue is helping, I'm the one who is givin him his favourite snacks, I'm playing near him so he can see I can be fun (like I was a couple of weeks ago!!) I've been singing nursery rhymes and even gave him a new toy (second hand happyland animals) Just trying to get him to associate nice things with me being around.

Have you tried leaving them to it, and taking yourself out of the equation, I find my son gets worse when his dad is home.

I'm positive it's all just a phase but it's bloody horrible so hang in there!

My younger sister was the same with our dad and it was a phase, seemed like in no time at all she went from screaming if being left in the same room to being daddies little girl.
During this time she was also having night terrors and then would only go to him and was the opposite with mum not wanting to go anywhere near her.
Sorry can't remember how long it lasted as was about 20 yrs ago now!
