I know it's stupid, feeling rejected

[CbeebiesIsMyLife]

Dd1 is 3 next week, I fell pregnant when she was 5 months old and from then on she became a daddy's girl. Always wanting him when she's hurt and pushing past me.
He works long hours and is lucky if he's home before bedtime so we have many tantrums because she wants daddy.

Dd2 I 20 months and has always been more attached to me. But since I fell pregnant she's been rejecting me. Last night she woke up screaming and screaming I picked her up a artempted to comfort her, for 30 minutes shehit, bit, screamed and kicked out at me. Dh came to help, took her off me and instantly she snuggled in and went back to sleep.

I know it's stupid and possibly just pregnancy hormones, but I feel really rejected by them :(

Both of my DSs have done this. It really pissed me off, whilst bearing in mind that they are only little.

It was so infuriating because I stayed at home with them for two years => Daddy is more interesting.

I then went into full-time work => Daddy is our main carer and so we love him best.

Basically, they prefer Daddy :(

It sucks and I sympathise. Hopefully it will pass. ((()))

My dd2 is like this. 20 months and I am never good enough for her. It's as though she doesn't even like me.If daddy is around she will scream and cry until he picks her up. Pushes me away. The only time I am good enough is if I am the only one here. She even hugs her 5 year old sister and won't me :( . I'm sorry I have no advice but you're not going thru this on your own!

I know it will pass it jut annoys me.
Dh is always the nice guy, I'm he one that doles out punishments and unforced rules. He lets things slide and I'm constantly reminding him I'm the one at home by myself with 2 toddlers (will be a newborn and toddler) so therefore I need order and rules in the house.

I just end up being hated and rejected by them. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones they're picking up on.

I'm in exactly the same boat! I am the enforcer, he is fun dad. Although he does enforce my rules when I'm around, to be fair.

In fact, I've noticed that now DH is doing a lot more childcare (since I'm working) he has become SIGNIFICANTLY more concerned with discipline and rules and consequences. This pleases me no end

It also amuses me that when I say no, the kids automatically run to daddy to see if they can inviegle him into saying yes. If DH says no, they glance at me and very obviously think 'No chance' before losing interest and wandering off. It makes me feel a bit evil right now but it will pay dividends in future appropriate behaviour I cling to this thought
