Being pushed away by child and partner

[Blueeyes91]

So with lockdown my partner and I are now home 24/7 with our 2year old DD.

A few weeks into lockdown I noticed when my partner spoke to friends or colleagues that he would say things like "I have to get with..." basically anything he said about parenting and working he made it sound like he's doing it all solo and I'm not here.

DD is now favouring him over me. She won't let me put her to bed. She wants him for cuddles and play time.

When I've mention this all to my partner he says he hasn't meant to make it sound like he's solo parenting. And he laughs at me about getting upset that DD wants him and not me.

I honestly feel like now I'm just in the way and that really they'd both like it if I left. I live My DD. But I do feel like this lockdown has pushed me away instead of brought us together.

Kids go through stages of preferring one parent to the other and whilst it isn't much fun you need to try and not take it personally.
I think it sounds like you are being a littel oversensitive to the language your partner is using - I don't imagine anyone who knows he has a partner thinks he is doing things single handedly.
However, it is a really difficult time at the moment and its easy for little things to get overblown.
Just make sure your dd knows that you love her and pick your battles with out pandering to her.

It sounds like lockdown stress is getting to you a bit - it's very normal for little kids to prefer one parent to the other at different stages, and it can cause hurt feelings but it's not personal. It doesn't sound like your DH is doing anything wrong here, so try not to be so sensitive about it all.
