i sometimes get fed up when my DD wont let her Daddy do anything eg change her nappy, takes her to bed

[Biglips]

as its "NNNNNNNOOOOOOoooooo, Mummy do it, Mummy do it"

why?

[monkeymonkeymoomoo]

My DD is exactly the same (she's one), fine in the day but in the evening or at night Mummy has to do everything Its hard work, you have my sympathies.

awww!...mine is 2.5yrs old......its no difference if i do it or if her daddy do it!!

[nailpolish]

its a control thing

dont give in

[Biglips]

as when im out with my friends and dp is looking after her...she is fine

[Biglips]

how long will it last? and yes i always end up doing it

[ChippyMinton]

My DC do this, and my DH lets them get away with it... I seriously suspect he bribes them so he doesn't have to wipe bums, get up in the night, make breakfast...

Dd did this, the phase didn't last too long. I had dh on side, and we would both say briskly 'no no, daddy's going to do it today' - when she realised we were a united front she would accept it. Definitely an early attempt to play dh and I off against each other.

[Biglips]

maybe we have to start doing that as she is strong minded bossy person

(fingers cross)

We get this, particularly at bedtime. If dh tries to put dd to bed, she will simply scream and scream. It then takes about an hour to calm her down again.

I'm afraid that although I stick to my guns during the day, I've given in and nearly always put her to bed at night. It means she goes to bed calmly and falls asleep almost immediately, rather than us having a huge battle every time.
