My daughter prefers me to my husband with pretty much everything. We have asked but she never gives an explanation even though admits my husband does some things better than I do but still prefers me. My husband takes this hard and it upsets him. She will say things like 'oh its you' when he wakes her up in the morning and immediately asks where I am. Or if we're going out she will ask if I take her or if we're playing in her room and he comes to join she will say there isn't any space to join in. I would understand if I'm the primary caregiver but I'm not, my husband stays home with her. My husband plays with her, they are silly, laugh together and have a lovely time he spends time with her but it seems to make no difference. We have spoken to her about her behaviour many times as this is not acceptable and she should know better. I fully back my husband with this and try to work with him however it has come to a head. He went to put her to bed and she wanted me. I was busy so he said it will be him. She cried and said she didn't want him and wanted me and this went on. He put her to bed but afterwards was absolutely furious and has hardly spoken a word to her. She's tries to speak to him and he's short with her, says he couldn't care less if she asks him something. Am I being unreasonable to be absolutely furious at this? She is a 7 year old child. Her behaviour is not acceptable but I feel now neither is his! How are we meant to lead by example when he is behaving like this. How do I navigate this situation?
