13 month old refusing to come to me

[Lausarama]

My 13 month old has spent all day being spoilt and played with by her granny. When I came to take her to put her to bed she refused to come with me and cried. I have to admit I found this really hard especially as my mil (although lovely) is quite competitive over DD's affections.

Please reassure me this is normal...? Feeling a bit rejected...

Normal. My 13 month old rejected me in favour of daddy today (until she wanted milk of course) and does so most weekends. He is novel and spoils her all weekend as he doesn't see her in the week due to work hours.

Perfectly normal. My DD (now 2.5) went through a 'no, I want daddy' phase, and also runs to granny whenever she thinks I'm going to do something mean (like wash her face or insist on bedtime). Just remember that she loves you, and she just didn't want the fun with granny to end.

yup completely normal although in our case dd won't go near daddy unless it's to play. she won't let him feed her or cuddle her most of the time.

You poor thing - I find this sort of thing hurtful too. It takes me a day or so to get my relationship with my toddler back to normal after a few days of apparently non stop play and fun with MIL, and it's infuriating being the bad guy just because you want to change their nappy/get them to have a nap/wash their face or similar! Grrr.

Aw thanks all. I know I shouldn't be talking it personally but it is tough and I was also thinking that 13 months seemed a bit young for this. Glad to hear that it's normal. Makes me feel better

I understand this, my parents look after my dd twice a week and when I go to collect her all she wants is more cuddles with nanny and completely ignores me. It hurts but I know it's completely normal and when she's there she gets all their attention from the word go until she leaves when your a busy mum it's just not possible. She soon changes again once we get home but the thing that did upset me was she doesn't say mum, it's always daddy. But one day she turned to my mum and went mum mum!! I really could've cried and my mum looked really uncomfortable
