I know i shouldn't be upset but I am

dd has separation anxiety but its for dh (i'm a SAHM) I know its really good that she is close to dh even tho she is only 14mths but sometimes I feel like the childminder she is always asking for him, cries when he leaves the house, follows him all over the house. I know i'm just being stupid

No it would be upsetting. We have always been fortunate that DS seems to like us both equally as much IYSWIM, although more for one at some times than others. I'm sure you probably realise this but the reason why she cries is because he leaves, you don't. You are always there and therefore she I suppose she takes you for granted. I'm sure she loves her mummy just as much, it is just a very different relationship. Don't take it to heart.

We used to get this when my dh worked away but I got round it by taking photos so daddy could see what we had been up to,writing a little diary or doing a little picture.It seemed to work as she and I were being pro active and doing things together but obviously for her daddys benefit.We had lots of fun along the way it might be worth a try.Some dd are just daddys girls at the end of the day.Like flossam says we are always there so might be the likely reason.

go out for the day at the weekend and leave her with him

then do it the next day

you'll see it goes both ways

quite normal tbh
ds3 has always been a daddys boy, upsetting some times but he turns to me for certain things iykwim

I was on a course recently and we were talking about settling babies and children into a nursery setting. It was suggested that the family provide some photos of themselves which the nursery would laminate and make into a book for the child to look at when they were feeling sad.

Maybe you could make a "Daddy Book" you could laminate some photos of Daddy and maybe your child with Daddy, then you could let your child look at the book when she was going on about Daddy.

I think going out at the weekend and having some valuable me time is a very good idea too!
