So I'm a SAHM and my 22 month old ds has been poorly most of the week. We've been having lots of sofa cuddles but managed to get out and about yesterday and he seemed to be on the mend.
This morning dh got up with ds. I could hear ds grumbling downstairs so I got up to see if I could help. However, ds full on cried as soon as I walked in the room, telling me to go back upstairs! He's been the same on and off all morning. Fine when he's alone with Daddy but gets upset if I'm in the room or try to pick him up/go anywhere near him etc.
So I've made myself scarce upstairs hoping he'll calm down a bit. This is very new to me as in all his 22 months I've always been the 'favourite'. He loves his daddy but more as the fun/playful parent. Its always been me he wants when ill or if he wakes up in the night. Don't get me wrong it's lovely to have a 'break' so to speak. But it does hurt my feelings a little bit, as stupid as that sounds! I know toddlers are fickle and I'm sure I'll be back in his good books soon. But that doesn't stop me racking my brains to work out if I've done something to upset him 😂
Any kind words of reassurance that my toddler is just being a toddler and I'm being a silly over emotional mummy 🙊
