DS gives affection but not to me

[DoAhhDiddy]

Just that really. DH, GPs, Aunties, Uncles all get loads of affection, kisses, hugs etc. I get nothing. I'm not overbearing with him. I don't force it if he doesn't want to, it just sucks. My DH gets all the kisses and cuddles, when DS wakes in the night he snuggles up to DH in bed not me.

I put him to bed earlier and I usually get a reluctant kiss and hug, but tonight I got nothing. Even after spending lots of quality 121 time with him today.

He's 3 in Aug so mindful that h's only little still and working out lots in his mind, exerting his independence etc but jeez it's exhausting, especially when I'm the one who does pretty much EVERYTHING for him!

Any ideas? Is this a phase? Will it pass?

That's not one I've come across sorry @DoAhhDiddy, it must be upsetting for you but I think I the best way of dealing with it is not to force the issue.

At 3 they gave so little control over anything and if you show that you are bothered they may do it just to be contrary.
