Just Mummy!!!

[Newmum26]

DS is going through a phase of only wanting Mummy to do certain things and if Daddy does it he goes nuts.
For example putting shoes on if daddy tries to do it he will say 'Just Mummy!' And then if I take over and put them on he's happy, if however daddy continues and just puts on his shoes he will start having a strop shouting 'No Daddy just mummy put them on!' And the funniest bit it he will actually pull his shoes off that daddy has managed to get on just so I can re do it and put them on like he wanted 🤦🏻‍♀️
Sometimes if he has his mind on other things he will forget and just let daddy put his shoes on 😂 And there's also things that only 'Daddy' can do like sit him on his shoulders.
Is this normal behaviour?!

Anyone?!

Sounds perfectly normal to me.

How old is he?

Oh yes that would help 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ He is just over 2

Our eldest has had phases like that since about the age of 2 too. He still has them now at 4. The current issue is the morning porridge. Only mummy is allowed to make it because daddy makes it wrong apparently, despite the fact that we both follow the same instructions! The phases never seemed to last that long. He would just have a month where he was more clingy to mummy and I had to do everything. I think it is normal. You just have to go with it as much as possible and ensure they still have lots of quality time with dad too. It will pass.

Yep that sounds pretty normal.

My 2.5 DS is exactly the same. I'm trying to get DH to have 'boys time' together to see if it helps.
