Husband fed up son only wants mummy

[Rojelio]

So my husband is really struggling right now that our son (just coming up to 3) will most often only want me to get him dressed / brush his teeth etc etc
I know this can be quite common for children to have a favourite parent but please does anyone have any advice on how we could improve this or is it just something children grow out of?
Thanks

Does urban DH spend much time with him alone? Does he take him swimming or out to the park for instance?

Thanks for replying, I do more of that but mainly because I work part time but he has always been hands on, takes him out on his bike, makes dens etc
Tonight was my DH turn to read books ( we always alternate) and my son only wanted me to get him dressed for bed but my husband said daddy's getting you dressed tonight so I kept out of it but it resulted in a stand off and no books in the end as a full on tantrum ensued... for me i think my husband can be too stubborn over the small things like that and I don't think it helps.
I don't know really though as like I say he is hands on and tries and I can see it's hard for my DH to not understand why he sometimes won't let him do things, sometimes he will be mostly it's ' I want mummy to do it'

I wouldn’t let your son dictate to you like that.
“No! I want mummy to do it” etc
Answer?
“No darling 😬, mummy is (doing whatever) but she’ll be up to kiss you goodnight”
“I want mumeeeeeeee to do it”
Calmly “well daddy is doing it tonight “
“I waaaaaaaaant mummeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
Even more calmly and very understanding “oh ok darling. You don’t want story/bath etc etc tonight. No problem. I love you”
End of
Shut door
Retreat

Pretty much what Loving says. I would definitely get your DH to do sone things with him at the weekend, it will give you a break too.

Thanks for the replies I do admit I did cave and ended up dressing him as I didn't want him to go to sleep in his clothes from the day and it just seemed like such a small issue in the scheme of things but I see that this giving in is just continuing the issue so I'll work on a bit of tough love!
