DS 2 yrs (&8 months if that matters) is playing up significantly for DH at the moment. He’s been in a mummy phase for a while anyway but daddy has always been thoroughly involved, changes more than 50% of nappies, has always done the majority of bathtimes etc. DS used to be really cooperative with him, and he’s had his phases of wanting daddy more than me.
Now whenever DH asks him to do anything he either doesn’t hear, doesn’t comply or just rolls over on the floor and won’t move. It isn’t anything negative - he thinks it's funny, and he also uses it as a way to get me to come and look after him. DH is finding it quite frustrating though he does continue to be patient with DS.
Is there anything we can do to encourage him to be less dependent on me or more cooperative with his dad, or is this just a normal toddler stage we're going to have to get through?
