My dd who's almost 1 have always been close to dad as he has been wfh since covid.. however this summer I went to my home country with dd to spend time with family and I was away for a month, since we came back in aug she has progressively preferred dad... now it has come to an point were I feel actually hurt when she's in pain or upset she wants daddy. I am currently also 6 months pregnant and dad has helped more recently with bedtime which I've done myself since birth. Is it weird that I am feeling this way? I love my daughter so much and had many losses before conceiving her that now that I finally have her she prefers her dad and I can't help to feel like a failure as a mother.
Also don't get me wrong I love seeing the bond that my dh and dd has, I am so grateful that she has such a great father.
