I've been telling DH that it's "just a phase" since she was tiny but she's not getting any less clingly with me, or more accepting of him really Sad . They have lovely times playing together but she will not accept him getting up with her in the mornings, or putting her to bed - which makes me very tired and DH very sad. It's got worse since her baby brother has come along, which is understandable i guess, but we're at the end of our tether. DH picked her up from pre-school the other day and was met with "noooo, i want mummy" and tears all the way home. I just feel Sad for him, he tries so hard with her, and gets knocked back so often. And then I worry that he will stop trying eventually and that it will damage their relationship permanently (baby Ds adores his daddy already and I can see that DH may end up preferring to spend time with a child who doesn't see him as second best) . How best to handle this? She's nearly 4 and says every day that she only loves me.
