Does he still love me?

Might sound crazy but he's almost 2 and used to be super clingy to me over last few months but not as much now

I'm not naturally fun with kids so I have to try hard whereas daddy is a big child so it comes naturally to him. Of course my son finds daddy hilarious. He does with me too but I have to try so much harder

Sometimes I wonder does he prefer daddy more? Altho he does hold my hand and take me Round the house with him so that's good right?

And it's. It Cos be doesbt see daddy much as he sees us both lots every day

Yes, of course he still loves you! :) as toddlers get older it is normal that they start becoming more independent and start 'de-latching', it might be hard to see at times but it what we eventually want for them :) yes, it's great that he takes you around the rooms, as long as not always to just meet their needs (open a door, get an out of reach item, turn a toy on, etc) but to also show you or share with you interesting things in those rooms.

some children are naturally more clingy than others but in general it's a good thing that he is detaching from you a little. It's a sign that he has confidence that you are there for him and will be there if he needs you. That he doesn't need to cling on to you all the time to make sure that you don't go away.

Thanks Altho it's more a concern that he seems to prefer daddy more as I just can't be fun. I try but it's not natural to me

Also to answer I think when he takes me round the rooms it's just to have me there with him. It's not showing me stuff Cos he sees the same stuff every day at home and it's not asking me to do stuff either, he just seems to want me there

when they grow up you can't be this clingy

@hotmomlizanda what a very unhelpful thing to say!
