Toddler hates me!!

I'm wondering if anyone else is in this position. My 17 month old has been teething for the last week (I think they're her fangs coming through?) And also snotty and coughy. This week has been awful to say the least, it's like she hates me! 😪 she's always been cuddly with me and playful with me, but this week she has been super super moody, throwing herself around, all she wants is her dad, she's super loveable with him, non stop grabbing him to cuddle, doesn't want to come near me at all. It's making me sad like I've done something wrong, is anyone else going through this? I feel like I'm loosing my bond with her 😪😪

Omg snap. I have this with my boy but sadly he's always been a daddy's boy and for months now. Makes me super sad. I'm told by other friends, this is normal and a phase and they bounce between the two. I just wish it was me now lol 😂 ..the only contact I get with him is when he's kicking me in the face 😆

@Sam aww it's awful isn't it! She's laid on the sofa with me at the min (because her dad has gone in the shower) but it's like she changed overnight, her moods changed, her affection for me changed. I definitely think it's a development thing but it's the mixed emotions for me! One min she's happy and playing, 2 mins later she's on the floor crying, I don't know of I'm coming or going 🫣😪

I hear you and honestly it's a rubbish feeling but we have to know it's not always going to be like like this and of course it's lush when they are close with daddy. He's my first (my partner has kids already) so I was even more petty about it as I was hoping to be the fav from the get go lol 😂.

@Sam yeah you're right, it won't be forever (hopefully 😅). Ah yeah I'd be the same if my partner had other children, I'd definitely be jealous 🫣🤣 I do love seeing her and her dad so close, I just feel like I don't exist 🤣🤣

Oh hun bless you!! I feel like this sometimes but it is completely normal! It feels like my daughter is always having ‘daddy days’ at the minute, however for the first time in ages she cuddled into me and cried when I tried to pass her over, so it will pass! It’s just developmental honestly. My daughter is also ill at the minute so goes from being super cuddly to full on tantrums within the blink of an eye - the tantrums always seem to be for me 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
