I have doubts about whether DD2, 2 years, has bonded with me and don´t know what to do, if anything (?)
She was a little strange as a baby, wriggling away from me as soon as she was able, around 5 months. She´s a very independant child and I don´t know how much this has to do with it. She never gives me a kiss, though will kiss DD1, whom she mostly adores. She actively prefers nursery to staying home with me and cries hard when she doesn´t go in the morning.
I bonded with her as soon as she was born but have always felt pushed away. At the moment she will often scream "not mammy not mammy" if I ask her to come to me, prefering her father.
So is this within the bounds of normal? Has anyone else had this experience?
