Since returning to work and dd going to nursery I feel like she has gained independence which is great, but also feel like we don’t have the same bond, if any.
She laughs and jokes with her dad/DH but she just gets frustrated when I try and play with her or screams if I pull her away from danger or stop her doing something she wanted to do (with good reason)
Because of this I feel anxious about spending time with her one on one, and I guess this is also affecting things so it is like a knock on effect.
It’s a horrible feeling because we did have such a strong amazing bond, I knew exactly what she wanted and how to make her happy and I feel like I just get in the way now and make her unhappy
